Jasmine's FOUND!

I think I've found myself! ;]

As in, I finally get back to the usual Jasmine;

The one I seem to have lost when I was in Sec 3, I think. 

Shhsh. This is complicated. Urg! I can't explain with just plain words. Zzz

Anyway, it just means I'm back to being a good listener and one who can comfort another! :)

Of course, I'm not bragging! There was this period of time where I only hear people talk but not really pay attention to them and have lost the ability to comfort another. Which really leaves me feeling useless. But now, it seems that I'll listen! YAY!

Okay! That was really random. Ignore it. I know I sounded really stupid. LOL!

Today's a nice nice day! School's as usual: BORING! Consulted the doctor again this morning and miss out the first lesson today. Anyway, had a nice long chat with Gary on the way back home! :] That was when I realise I was back to normal. Zzz =x Also, talked to crazy sister and she made me miss Secondary School life. Serious. Zzz

Damn! She's so lucky! Get to go overseas with her Secondary 2 friends. Zzz How I wish they have had these plans long ago; & best when I'm one of them who went too. ^^

Anyway, did you call and donate for last nights' Special Concert for Sichuan? :) I watched, got so touched and donated! :] Was really tearing when they were repeating the different life stories some of the Sichuan people have. I really didn't expect myself to be so emotional. But I guess I cried because I felt sad. More than just sympathy I felt.

Imagine:

A building collapsed and you're at the bottom of this pile of waste, a whole chuck of... useless cement? How long would you be able to tolerate the excruciating pain? There was this man who persevered to live on, so that he could see his family, for 76 hours. But I guess it was more than just the pain he felt that he collapsed and passed away. It was the pain, hunger and thirst that must have made him lose his last breathe.

I had many inner thoughts when these stories were surfaced. There's more than just stories that were said. They were lessons, to me.

Like... How many of us might have suicidal thoughts, somewhere in our life, when we're facing some problems? While we feel like ending our lives, there are these people who struggle to live though they experience excruciating pain and such. They persevered, hoping to live for a while more. While some of us, sought to ending life because we couldn't solve a problem. Zzz

There are no problems, there are only solutions. We just have to think deeper and harder.

& How we humans always regret not treasuring our loved ones until we lose them. It's such a common sight to see people weep and say things like...

"I shouldn't have....", "I should have...", "If only...", "I regret..." and etc..

It's so difficult for one to see how fragile is life when we live in luxury and comfort.

It's so difficult for one to see how pain it would be if we one day lose someone we love because we usually take advantage of the day-to-day companion of these people.

It's so difficult for one to see how fortunate we are; we have everything when others don't because we're not content with what we already have.

The rich is not one who has more but one who wants least.

:]

Among all the stories I've heard about Sichuan's sufferings, the one that has really touched me is the mother I've mentioned in one of my blog entries. How she protected her baby. :) No matter what, parents are noble and they do what they think is best for their children. Though they can sometimes, get on our nerves! =x

However, we usually take advantage of our parents, don't we? :)  It's just so normal. This is life.

It's so weird how we humans are made. It's so weird how things are always easier to be said than down. It's so weird... It's so weird...

Many people are posting about this earthquake that has struck Sichuan aye? :D Guess, we are all warm blooded creatures who feel something about these unfortunate. Though we may have not lost any kin, it's sad to see so many human kinds die. Isn't it? :\

Anyway, a lighter news:

It was reported that another part of China _{I can't really remember where} has experienced another earthquake. 6.0, I think. &&& The Pandas in the place lost appetite! :D

Like........ So cute! HAHAHA. Oh yeah! The place was not as bad as Sichuan; because there wasn't a detailed report. :]

One of my classmate told me this recently:

"All these are happening because of what we have done to the earth and the world. It's a punishment for our sins."

Do you believe that? :B

We are all lucky fellows living in a disaster-free country aye? But I heard as the earth rotates, each and every country moves a little too. The reason why we feel some shakes at times is because we're getting near these places that have these... hmm... disasters? So, don't be too complacent. ;]

We never know what would happen in future. Anything is possible. :)

PS: When will we really learn to apply the "Treasure your loved ones" logic?!

BYE!

long-winded Jasmine's back! ;)
