2010

The year I'm about to leave behind was a year of many things. It would take me more than my fingers and toes to describe memorable and valuable events that would forever cherish my heart. But, that would be a different entry.

2011..new years always give me something to ponder. What would be this year be for me? Of course, I am more of a "I-control-my-destiny" type of person rather than being fatalistic. The new year brings promise, hope, opportunities and happiness. But all of them can be achieved if you put your heart into making it happen.

One of the more interesting resolutions for me is to start being a serious runner. I made a list once of things I wanted to accomplish early this year and I found myself writing, "Run a marathon". It's not easy to begin with... studies and other things keep me occupied most of the time. Running a marathon is no joke... and it's something I wanted to accomplish before I end my 20s. Maybe I should start a running regimen early this year and run a marathon as a 'test'.

He he, who knows... I might get a finisher shirt =)

Linger

My mind's been wandering after trying to figure out what's happening during our class... I've been fleeting from one thought to another...

I got an opportunity to bond once again with my (4-year old) iPod while commuting to and fro school. It's been almost a year since I've last sync-ed it and I've never really made a lot of effort in updating it with new songs. If it helps, the songs I last sync-ed were old school music (Christmas in Our Hearts, anyone?)

The new generation of songs, I get it from Joey. And I'm quite contented with listening to it with him. But when I'm alone, I'd rather prefer the smooth and more free-flowing melodies of ballads and standard songs; they type that just makes me want to sing my heart out and feel really really good!

A few days back, I was scrolling through my ancient playlist and was still amazed that my most played songs were still Japanese. =)

Lho and behold, there were still anime songs. Gundam rules in my heart! There was a time in college that that song rocks my car day in and day out, until I got to memorize the lyrics...that I got to understand the lyrics. I listened to it again and once again let myself be dragged into wanton screeching and belting, amazed that I can still go along with the lyrics!

Ah those were the days. =)
