Dickinson's This World is not Conclusion.

This World is not Conclusion.

A Species stands beyond --

Invisible, as Music --

But positive, as Sound --

It beckons, and it baffles --

Philosophy -- don't know --

And through a Riddle, at the last --

Sagacity, must go --

To guess it, puzzles scholars --

To gain it, Men have borne

Contempt of Generations

And Crucifixion, shown --

Faith slips -- and laughs, and rallies --

Blushes, if any see --

Plucks at a twig of Evidence --

And asks a Vane, the way --

Much Gesture, from the Pulpit --

Strong Hallelujahs roll --

Narcotics cannot still the Tooth

That nibbles at the soul --

p/s: I'm lovin' this! for turning 13 into 17 :) Bravo!

my true one.

someday,

when I get my heart beating so fast,
my palm sweating,
and I can barely breathe,

I'll be sure that he is the true one :)




and when the day comes,

my heart won't be racing for anyone else!

p/s: my heart says that it'd be great to fall for somebody again. LMAO. not now.

American Literature Class Project 2010

Alhamdulillah, it's finally done. successfully :) because of this performance, I had had sleepless nights these days. I skipped some classes, and over-spent my pocket money :( but the play was tremendous! Fan-freakin'-tastic! others' were great too :)

BTW, our play was all about The Boston Tea Party of America.
Briefly, it was an incident on Dec 1773, in which American patriots dressed as Indians threw 342 chests of tea from 3 British ships into Boston Harbour.

The action was taken to prevent the payment of a British-imposed tax on tea and also to protest the British monopoly of the colonial tea by the Tea Act.

Our play was actually an adaptation of a famous kids TV series; Liberty Kids. Below are the stunning Casts! lmao.

*note: Samuel Adams was the leader for the action.

وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِيْنَ. الَّذِيْنَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْنَ. أُولَئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُوْنَ

“Dan berikanlah berita gembira kepada orang-orang yang sabar,

(yaitu) orang-orang yang apabila ditimpa musibah mereka mengucapkan:

‘Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.’

Mereka itulah yang mendapat keberkahan yang sempurna dan rahmat dari Rabb mereka, dan mereka itulah orang-orang yang mendapat petunjuk.”

(Al-Baqarah: 155-157)

being the dream girl every guy desires.

Every woman dreams of being the great one. well I'm surely not excluded. I always dream of being as great as her;

or even her;

and her;

for some reasons, I wish I'm becoming a person who is as good as they are some day.

I could still remember the points I stated for a speech that I couldn't recall what its exact title was. well if I'm not mistaken it's about how to be a princess of your own. those 3 points were:

1) Be Impressive
(physically, mentally & spiritually)

2) Be Intelligent

3) Be Independent


well let's have some more;


4) Get a solid education.




5) Know how to make the most of your appearance.
(be confident)


6) Know your abilities and potential.
(and think of them whenever you doubt yourself)


7) Pray hard. and never forget to abide by the religious duties.




8) Decide you will make yourself into the kind of person you like.
(well in my case, a happy successful woman)


9) Be someone who has interests in life and in the world.


10) Aim to gain your power from your own strengths.


11) Care about other people.

dreams.

I've been dreaming of a few guys that I know these days.


and why is that?

To whom it may concern:

"I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me.

All I ask is that you RESPECT me as a human being."

7th October 2010: I hope you know that you've done something disrespectful towards me. and that you no longer earn my respect. I never called someone a bitch before but you made me broke my own record.

Give blood. Give Life.

dear beloved blog, long time no see. I apologize for not having much time to spend here. well that's definitely because I'm currently effing busy, despite of my only-God-knows laziness. I require forgiveness from you. okay, bye.

well referring to the title, I actually just finished preparing my speech text for my Public Speaking class on coming Thursday. and I'm happy to say that I just found out that it's the only class I anticipate every week. there will be Persuasive speech next week and I'm doing "Why Should We Become Blood Donors"

there's actually something funny about how I decided to do this topic. I spent my whole weekend watching True Blood so basically I was influenced by seeing bloods being wasted to such lustful and desperate yet handsome vampires.

so here's my speech:

Do you know if there is any other way to save people’s lives rather than donating your money? Yes there is.

Do you know how much blood does it take to save a life?

Do you know who actually needs blood?

I spent my last weekend watching True Blood so the first thing came up in my mind is vampire but in real life, approximately every minute of every day, someone in this world needs blood. In fact, according to a recent poll, 60 percent of Malaysians say that they, or a family member, have needed blood for surgery or medical treatment.

Why Should We Become Blood Donors?

And why should you listen to me? Because I’ve been a donor since 2 years ago thus I know how vital it is to some people. And I’ve heard of loads of irrational reasons people don’t give blood such as they’re afraid of needles or even afraid of getting AIDS so I’d like to point out some reasons on why we should donate blood which are much more logical than those reasons I mentioned earlier.

To begin the list, let’s first look at the number one reason that people give for why they do not think that they should become a blood donor: they think it will hurt. I admit that it does hurt but it’s actually bad, bad enough to justify a decision to not become a blood donor and lose a chance to save hundreds of lives. It only hurts a little and for God’s sake the pain will fade in a short time. So my first reason on why should we donate blood is that it saves lives. Hundreds of lives. And like I mentioned earlier, every minute of every day, someone in this world needs blood. To be specific, according to America’s Blood Centers, more than 200 units of blood are needed every week for like cancer treatment, surgeries, organ transplants, etc. You don’t have to be a doctor to save lives. give blood, give life.

Secondly, we should become blood donors because we may need it some day. In this sense, we are just giving back early what we, or our family member or friends may need later. Many blood donors, including me, realize what a wonderful gift they have given only after they or someone they love are in need of blood donation. So when you are hesitating to donate your blood, imagine yourself being in the shoes of those who need blood.

Next, we should become blood donors because it’s easy and safe. Most healthy people can donate blood- men up to five times a year and woman two times. The procedure is not that painful that an adult can not bear. Even if you feel a bit tired after donating, you will recover within an hour or two with some rest. And yea, you don’t have to worry about getting infections because blood banks use disposable needles and syringes.

Basically, these are three main reasons. Another reasons are like blood donating helps you to lose weight. It’s because every time you give blood, you burn up to 650 calories (the amount of energy it takes for your body to replace a pint of blood).

Not only that, if you are a blood donor, you’d find out whether you have healthy iron levels or not thru a small sample tested before every blood donation. Low iron levels can cause fatigue and dizziness.

You should also become a blood donor so that you can feel good about doing something altruistic. I can still remember my very first time donating blood. I was scared to death, well who’s on earth doesn’t feel scared for having a quite-thick needle in their arms. But since I kept telling myself that this is one of the contributions I can give to the society, the pain didn’t matter at all. Donating blood always make me feel good about myself because only good people donate blood right?

There are also minor reasons for why should we become blood donors such like we can get free cookies (they normally serve blood donors with free food and drinks to get rid of their tiredness), free stuffs like key chain and even certificates. There’s also some privileges provided for blood donors. For instance, for those who have donated blood for like 2 to 5 times may have a free medical check up.

In a conclusion, as we are living in such a symbiotic life, each one us is responsible to help others in need. So just donate blood. It’s safe, it’s simple and most importantly, it saves lives.

P/S: points are not originally by me.

the Vampires I love :)

I could never forget the moment I watched Twilight for the first time. It's simply because it changed my impressions that vampires are not necessarily ghastly and as creepy as Dracula. and just like millions of girls out there, I was once in love with Pattinson too. but Twilight is somehow a bit irritating to me cause there's Bella in it. Lol. not funny.

then when I watched The Vampire Diaries, the irresistible charm of the Salvatores had all-of-sudden erased Edward Cullen from my heart. and I believed this one is the Best one of those two.

I even watched Vampires Suck and I honestly felt nothing about it though I did laugh at it (sometimes) Well, it's a parody after all. None shall be mad for its making-fun-of-Twilight stupid things.

I miss Salvatores so badly but there's nothing I could do besides waiting for somebody to download the second season which is still aired on The CW. Since the waiting is killing me so I decided to watch something I presumed would be like The Vampire Diaries. So I bought True Blood; season one and two. Unfortunately this is wayyyy creepier than The Vampire Diaries. (I can't actually stand horror movies) but I have to admit that this is how vampires should be portrayed. and not to be forgotten, this is an adult show. Trust me, it's way 'sexier' than Gossip Girl. well I can still handle some should-be-censored actions in GG but when it comes to True Blood, I do fast forwarding, muting the sound, and even covering my eyes!

.:. though I actually fell for Chris Riggi who played Jacob White in Vampires Suck (or even Scott Humphreys in Gossip Girls 3), and I am fascinated by some people in True Blood like Tara Mae and Sookie, my all the time favorite Vampire series would be The Vampire Blood :)

Way to go, Salvatores! I adore you both.

my current crush: Chris Riggi.
(he does look like Taylor Lautner, doesn't he?)




not-so-adorable Bill Compton: the protagonist of True Blood.



off to the Lala Land with Chris Riggi and Paul Wesley!
