Hoof! (my sigh of relief)
I finished my assignments AHEAD of time (nevermind if it's less than one day)
but i didn't have assignments before and now suddenly 2 due on e same day.
Now i can focus on studying, i actually miss it (nope i hvnt actually started)
nvm me. :D

tumblr suits me so so so well! no more blogging for me. it gives me the freedom to be piecemeal w/o seeming trivial. heh.

You Matter - Seth Godin

• When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.
• When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
• When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.
• When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.
• When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.
• When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.
• When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
• When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.
• When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter.
• When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.
• And when the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.

Been signing up for online organisational tools in preparation for uni.

I find websites such as http://www.makeuseof.com/, http://www.the20life.com and http://www.gearfire.net/ particularly useful in maximising the benefits of web2.0. I can't believe my wish of being able to highlight and annotate websites actually came true! I haven't actually downloaded and used the toolbar for myself (will do so on my own laptop), but it sounds promising.

Also, I'm TRYING to organise files on my comp. I do know roughly where my areas of interest lie (philosophy, politics, literature and whichever discipline that involves developmental issues), now I'll just have to make sense out of all those information collected in frenzy.

Plucking them out where they belonged;
settling into the combination, their new home.

reminder that something remains after death.

Brigid Newly Arrived
by George Johnston

Dear child, dear little child,
hardly into the world,
a few weeks into our
cold you intrude your fire
for us to warm ourselves.
Look kindly on our eyes
that gaze down into yours
to quicken our low fires.

Dear wordless little girl,
forgive our words, we live
by them as you soon shall.
Choose wisely as you grow
into your wording age
among their worn meanings
some you will surely need
and we bleed to give you:
luck, charity, courage.
