We're just afraid of growing up.

We're also afraid of the singular word called truth.

I'm drowning under the bundles of assignments and presentations i have to complete and at the same time crumbling under the pressure my friends in college give me. Crying wasted tears over stoopid issues and stoopid thoughts

I thought that i wouldn't have anyone to rely on. No one to depend on. No shoulder to cry on. Only God.

Well,i can at least give the owner some credit for not throwing the dog off the streets. Some irresponsible men who call themselves humans, after tiring of their dogs and having found some other thing to amuse themselves with, does an even more despicable act-they throw their dogs out of the house to fend for themselves much like how you would throw your rubbish into the dumpster. Some for the pure sadistic pleasure of it, even burn their pets or slaughter their pets.And you call yourselves cultured humans? I can think of a more apt term - barbarians.

To say that i am angry is an understatement. Furious would be more like it. That and despair as well. For it's not only dogs that are so cruelly treated. Cats are subject to much the same thing. I often wonder, what if..what if..the roles were reversed. Instead of us ruling over them by virtue of our given brains, they rule over us and treat us exactly in the same manner we are treating them now.

How would YOU feel?

Eva Cassidy really has a deli voice. Mellow like soul fire. Love her renditions of True Colours and Danny Boy.

From my deductions so far, i'd like to say that to be a lwayer is tough. To be a successful lawyer or one who has high aspirations in life,is even tougher. If you do aspire success ( of course the definition of succes being subjective to each person ) , you've got to start from your uni course.You need to plan even now for your future. And need i add that you've got to plan ruthlessly? And participate ruthlessly towards you goal. Participate and participate and participate.

One of your most important skills, * and i kid you not * is TALKING,TALKING AND TALKING. No matter how good you are in your books, without the gift of the gab,you are nothing in this arena. Participate in lectures,participate in the mooting society, participate in the lexicon,participate in the Law Debate 2006, participate participate participate.To ensure participation, we are "threatened" sweetly to think of our future CV's. Resumes and CV's are all i hear about whenever a lecturer promotes something. And grudgingly we all rush to participate because it is undeniable that in a course like law, proof of your skills is important. Another boon would be the prizes that comes with it ..scholarships, book prizes,chambering prizes with prestigious law firms like Shearn & Delamore, Zul Rafique etc etc.

All this is undeniably interesting and appealing,not to mention challenging-which makes it even more worth the while. But another fact that you cannot forget is that you have to be very independent and strong.In every aspect of your life (in this case,mine) be it emotionally,physically and mentally. So it will be tiring. Very tiring.The pressure added with the emo trauma i'll have to go through for my future will bring me down.

But i have one very very very large consolation.

At least when i am down and nobody's around, i will still have someone with me and that's my God. He will hold me in his arms be there for me and hide me in his wings and let me cry my heart out. :) So for that im grateful. For in Him,we can do anything! XD  Well, im done summarizing all the major things that has happened in my week, and im through venting, so adieu peeps,till next week!

yourstrulyme! ;)
