(2 more days till Sabrina’s)

Decided to just keep editing this one post instead of creating new ones; laziness.

A Star’s Lover aired today (technically, yesterday). Due to much lack of accessibility to internet, I’m (self-)regrettably much behind in keeping up with Clubbox information and all. I guess I’ll just read Javabeans’ episode recaps while I wait for full softsubs. Will look at subbing tools after this series, I suppose. =)

On the other hand, there’s still Taekgukgi to be watched, and it’s fully hardsubbed too! Joy! And also Man and Legends (that I’m secretly recording on the TV while Mom’s sleeping) is killing plenty of time already. Can’t help it. Big swoonage in there…

As for the real deal, Mr. Examination and Ms. Study, I haven’t really talked to them in a while… Whenever I get a date with Mr. Examination, Ms. Study runs off in tears. In the end, neither of them meet and nothing gets effectively done. That’s too bad.

Other stuff… SURPRISE!!
Hoping to chop my hair off GOOD tomorrow. And I mean SHORT! =)

Didn’t go to Sabrina’s. My excuse was that I had to study for finals, but in reality, only minimal studying was done. lol?

Browsed through some pictures of A Star’s Lover Ep2. Didn’t see Lee Ki Woo in any of them. Not reading it. Yet.

Still stuck on reading Tokyo. Lost interest, though. Gave up.

The snow’s not so attractive either.

If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

The attainment of wholeness requires one to stake one’s whole being. Nothing less will do; there can be no easier conditions, no substitutes, no compromises.

The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.

The healthy man does not torture others — generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.

The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.

There is no coming to consciousness without pain.

Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.

We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart … Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
