1)Three days ago, my best friend died.
Two days ago, I found that she was an organ donor.
One day ago, I heard that a nine year old boy now had her heart.
Today, I met that nine year old boy. He told me that because he had my best friend's heart, he'd be my best friend now. My best friend and him GMH.
2)I work in a day nursery. One day, a little boy was on my lap crying. Another little boy came over and saw he was crying, so he went and brought him a toy and put it in his lap. A little girl then came over, ran off to get a tissue from the wall dispenser and wiped his nose herself. These children are 18 months. Their concern for others GMH.
3)I've been struggling with an eating disorder for years and weigh myself obsessively throughout the day. This morning, there was a post-it note covering the numbers on my scale that said "you're beautiful".
I live with three guys. Men like that GMH.
4)One year ago, I was seriously depressed and contemplating suicide. The boy who sat behind me in Geometry asked every day if I was okay, despite my often rude or short responses. He didn't know it, but his caring questions were the one thing keeping me alive. Today he is my love and my best friend. I am so much more than okay. He GMH.
5)Today was my little brother's birthday and he's been begging for a birthday party. The thing is, he's autistic and doesn't have any friends, but i couldn't tell him no. I told some of my friends about the situation, and they agreed to come spend the day with him. My friends are 17 year old boys. Their generous love for my little brother GMH.
6)There was a kid at my high school who was a notorious truant. One day he stopped skipping and started attending regularly. Later, we found out he would visit his terminally ill friend in the hospital so he could be with him until the very end. He GMH.
7)A few weeks ago, a senior at my school was hit by a car while walking home with a few of his friends. It turns out that, at the last second, he pushed his friends out of the way. In that accident, he was killed. Nobody else was hurt, thanks to him. People like him GMH. RIP Travis
8)Today, I heard a story on the radio about a little girl who sold ALL of her toys on Ebay. Why? She wanted to buy bulletproof vests for our county's police dogs. She is only 6. Her selfless, caring, innocence GMH.
9)Today when I was working an adorable older couple came through my line. When I asked if they had found everything they needed, the woman looked at her husband and said "I found everything I needed 43 years ago." GMH.
10)While doing homework on one of the university computers, I spied Sailor Moon manga on one of the others. It turned out to be a very large, imposing football player reading it. He told me that it was his little sister's new obsession and he wanted to be able to talk to her about it when she called. GMH

Holy shit My Sister's Keeper is so poignant...
I always have a fascination with the girl-suffers-but-remains-optimistic theme, the impact the girl made within each of the family members' life and the changes they experienced after the protagonist died.
Very formulaic, and the theme is liken to that of One Liter of Tears, but it still caught my attention due to the emotional appeal to the human condition.
I guess the moral of this story is that we should let go when it's time to avoid causing unnecessary pain to others and to yourself.
But, can we always look at the bigger picture when we are the picture itself?

1 more year to go!
That is the only remotely exciting thing in my life right now. The anticipation. The proximity of freedom.
But come to think of it, i'm not looking forward to anything after i ORD.
Maybe i should get a girlfriend to talk cock/camwhore with.

Urgh, can't believe so many guys are going clubbing every weekend without fail just to while time away.
Dammit i also want a surfeit of momentary euphoria, but not in the expense of my health.
I am perpetually dying from boredom and discontentment.
The more i introspect, the more inadequate i feel.
Just 411 days more before my sentence is done. Too long.
Till then, i shall revel in my memories and imaginations.
HELP!

I will sound like some metro who has just gotten his nails polished, but i really love my new Sansha Pro 1C canvas ballet flats!!
Whee at least my arch looks nicer now.
But the irony is i have the shoes but i don't have the opportunity to wear it since i have not applied for any classes!
Urgh.
Otherwise, my life and many people's lives are going downhill.
Time for escapism. Cyaa~
