this guy is so right,
he must be a genius.
I’ve Learned – Omar Washington
I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.
I’ve learned that no matter how much I care,
some people just don’t care back.
And it’s not the end of the world.
I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and only seconds to destroy it.
I’ve learned that it’s not what you have in your life,
but who you have in your life that counts.
I’ve learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you’d better know something.
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself
to the best others can do,
but to the best you can do.
I’ve learned that it’s not what happens to people,
It’s what they do about it.
I’ve learned that no matter how thin you slice it,
there are always two sides.
I’ve learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
I’ve learned that you can keep going
long after you think you can’t.
I’ve learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done
regardless of the consequences.
I’ve learned that there are people who love you dearly,
but just don’t know how to show it.
I’ve learned that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.
I’ve learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I’ve learned that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to
doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.
I’ve learned that no matter how good a friend is,
they’re going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.
I’ve learned that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken,
the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
I’ve learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
I’ve learned that just because two people argue, it doesn’t mean that they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.
I’ve learned that sometimes you have to put the individual
ahead of their actions.
I’ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I’ve learned that no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves get farther in life.
I’ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don’t even know you.
I’ve learned that even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.
I’ve learned that writing,
as well as talking,
can ease emotional pains.
I’ve learned that the people you care most about in life
are taken from you too soon.
I’ve learned that it’s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice
and not hurting people’s feelings and standing up for what you believe.
I’ve learned to love
and be loved.
I’ve learned… |

owen scoring on the 95th minute.
man u winning 4-3!
i actually spent a good 15 minutes reading reports!
old trafford.
i wanna be there.
i think i'm experiencing the last week syndrome again!
i've got at least two more of such.
i don't like it very much.
we'll be single entities from now on i believe.
that will be our ugly truth.
funny how the thing you'd the most faith in fell apart.
anyway i hereby and officially declare
that
i am not taking up
the role of Aisha in the Six Degrees ballet.
now lets watch me keep to that!
haha. im pretty pleased with the way my schedule looks for now.
meeting with super loved ones.
example: watching idol with siqi, karis & bp at my place!
missing some though.
example: abby & zeke & kenneth & dairy.
i think i'll pack faster and start asking them out!
okay ready steady go! |

it actually doesn't feel like it.
shrugs.
open heart! (:
be kind and compassionate to one another- ephesians4:32

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference. |

mummy is very ... cause im very burnt.
it hurts like crazy and i kept waking up last night.
cause i couldn't lie on my back
nor put my face down on the pillow.
it'd be one of those things that we'd look back and laugh about.
but right now its not very funny!
haha(: the aloe vera effect lasts for about 40 minutes.
i feel like the wife of krusty krab's owner.
for those who do not know who mr krab is,
this is he.

meeting up with the childhood friends was one of my best meet ups ever.
it's pretty amazing,
how we really stuck with each other through so so so much,
some like bernice,gwen&chermaine since 4/5 years old,
and the rest joining in not too much later.
the B(allet) girls & Jboys outing was pretty hilarious.
it was quite funny, queer and interesting how
bernice had (J)ustin,
kel had (J)oseph &
mel had (J)ason.
not forgetting wenyang,
our pianist since we were 12/13 who had (J)oanie.
hahaha. gwen and i'd each other that night.
& because my name started with J, i sat with the row of boys,
being gwen's boy of the night.
wenyang was commenting on how nice it was to see the group expanding.
now on its way to doubling.
and we were talking about how it'd continue to increase.
to have our kids dance & play with each other! (:
was talking to kelly&joseph in the car
about how only bernice was born in a family of believers.
& how, through our own separate journeys,
majority of us have settled into our own churches.
it's quite cool i think!(:
we're meeting at my place again
& we hope to get the full group this time!(:
this summer has been pretty awesome(: |

haha i'm mildly amused by how disgusted by myself i can get.
when all your weaknesses become monsters and just stare right back at you,
in your face.
but i dont think i'm alone in this,
for that im thankful!
& even more thankful to those who extend extra grace and love.
hold me now. |

at dinner today,
after a long conversation,
a new found friend and i couldn't help but agree that
LIFE IS TOUGH.
its not fun to end the night with a sadface.
anyway, i was also thinking about a very common line people always use
"we cant do much except pray right?"
dont you think it makes prayer sound like a very last resort kind of thing?
instead, it should be, lets pray first & then work out the best solution.
i think?
slightly dehumanized.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. |

the greatest battle i think,
is really of the spirit.
put on the armor of God,
& go be strong.
go be courageous.
NO HURT OR PAIN,
NO SUFFERING,
YOU HOLD ME NOW(:
(:
a far cry (hahaha) from the way i was feeling just now.
the transformation of heart,
the renewal of joy
happens when and once you pray!
im going to fight my goliath tomorrow!
& im going to win.
cheers! |

| [ | jingyu is feeling |
| |  nervous | ] |
into the white room
with strange metal machines
monitoring my heartbeat, blood pressure & all that nonsense.
with an oxygen mask
& random 5 to 6 people swarming around.
being induced to sleep
& waking up in a blur
with a knee brace
& a new scar.
again.
VERY SCARED ):
maybe it hurts less the second time. |

inevitable.
such an irreversible word with a tone of finality and disgruntled acceptance.
the truth always hurts!
the message from buckets helped a bit though(:
loved ones are the most constant.
mine is not FAMILY.
mine is FAMASILY.
FatherAndMotherAndSistersILoveYou.
WHERE IS MY CAMERA WIRE.
cant wait to see my kids tomorrow.
despite the tiredness,
the traveling & all.
kids make my day :D |
