Zippedy-doo-dah~

Today was a surprisingly awesome day. And for some reason, telling people that seems to silence them. "Kristen having a good day? Seriously? Damn!" Indeed, for once I am not angry at being single, not angry at myself, not angry at my diet, not angry... at all.

I find myself walking down the street coming home, remembering some old jokes shared between friends and laughing loudly as the drivers give me funny looks. It's incredible. I haven't felt this light and bouyant inside for a long while.

Like most students at NIE these days, I'm swarmed with assignments. Yet I feel in control to a certain degree. I'm getting them done, I'm doing my best. The more I work, the more I feel like I'm in control, and the happier become. While that sounded mildly obsessive compulsive, I have to admit that I rarely feel in control.

I suppose the good day started when Kirk told me he had finally gotten his hands on a copy of Imagine FX, which had published a picture of mine in its gallery. I saw the screen shots and felt incredible yet humbled. The other pictures in the gallery look like they really deserve to be there, and I kind of wondered what on earth mine was doing there beside them. I have a long way to go yet.

Well the good day continued into the afternoon, as I did homework (wow!) till around two pm. Stopped a while to watch some strange and bizare japanese horror film called Marebito with my dad. It was made by the same guy who directed Juon, and it was a disappointment. Still, the way the story twisted, this guy has to seriously stop snacking on paintchips. Then went out for dinner with my family and finally came home.

I suppose the gastric-induced two days of rest seems to have paid off for me, I seriously needed it after my 'Recess' week of work, work, work. Have so much goodness to look forward to in the week aswell - Picnic with Wan and Mary Ann at East Coast on Sat, Oxtail lunch with Bren next Wednesday. Alot of worrisome events in the cards too, such as the submission of my lesson plans and presentations. But still - I will survive!
