Almost Home.

'Every situation that takes place is a learning experience'. This is a motto that I have been living by and intend to live by for the rest of my life. Isn't it so true? I believe that whether bad or good, whatever happens in our lives is a learning experience and there will ALWAYS be something to take from it. Isn't this such a blessing? What we often perceive as bad things that take place in our lives are usually the things that rightly prepares us for larger more exciting things in our future. If we do not go through what we have to go through, the future would then be superbly overwhelming for us to understand and furthermore, to live it.

I am sure many of you can agree that going through life is like going through the school system. First Kindergarten followed my Primary/Elementary School followed by High School and so on. So, the higher up you move through the school system the more you learn; "another year older, another year wiser".

For example: In Kindergarten, we learn the alphabet. We learn to JOIN THE DOTS(woo!) in order to form a shape which stands for a 'letter' in the alphabet. We learn that these shapes represent different sounds; often, funny sounds. We learn that these different shapes can be put together in all kinds of sequences to form a 'word'; this word usually refers to a particular something. We learn that we can then arrange these words into a long/short straight line which would then form what we call a 'sentence'. As in life, the older we get the more words we know; the better we can phrase our words into sentences. We learn that the power of our tongue, our words is sometimes more than we can handle.

I seem to lose my subject every time I write a long post. Does that happen to you as well? Well, the important thing is that you understand what I'm trying to say, so do you? haha I have this thing where I sometimes tell things to people expecting that to fully understand, just because I fully understand :D This often leads to me losing my words during a conversation, and it usually goes like this:
[Scenario- Deep into conversation with Friend A]

me: ...yeah that's so true! It's like...
[Long pause- a pause past the point where a silence is acceptable.]
Friend A: [looks intently at me, waiting]
[Pause continues- a pause where it's just begging for a sound, any sound.]
Friend A: It's like? [smiles politely- but secretly growing quite impatient.]
me: It's like...yeah... I don't know... you know?

How confusing can one be, even I confuse myself sometimes.

Anyway, back to the 'seriousness', yes, I know I am young, and I know I have PLENTY that I have yet to learn in life. But, as for now, this is what I own.

Comfy pillows

I'm still in search for a shoulder pillow for my flight. I wonder if they actually make you feel more comfy. There has been mixed reviews.
