To my significant other, I love you so much! Thank you for this perfect day. And I know our celebration part2 tomorrow will be even more perfect, if that is even possible. Thank you for the bouquet of roses, wrapped in my favorite color lilac. Thank you for taking care of me and giving me everything I could ever need. It’s been five years of growing up together, being the best of friends, going through ups and downs. Most of all, it’s been half a decade of blissful love.

I had no internet connection yesterday! Yikes! Well, actually I’m just using hunbun’s unlimited Tri-Isys connection. It’s not DSL. *sigh* Everytime I try to connect, it keeps saying invalid username or password. That is really weird because hunbun just paid for his account two days ago.

Hm… I think I really am turning into an internet addick! Eep! Why? I felt uneasy, even sort of empty not being able to check my mail, weblog, etc.

Oh, hunbun and I looked over our photographs for the past five years. *awww* We relived those wonderful memories. Of course, we can’t help comparing our “previous selves” and “present selves”. I told hunbun he was sooo cute when he was in Grade 7, but he is much more handsome now. *pinch cheeks* We shared a lot of laughs, sentiments, secrets, and love. I wish we could do this more often.

Two more days ’til our anniversary!!! We’re celebrating our five years of love.

I felt inspired to make a little collage of our pictures. Made on April 22, 2004 with Adobe Photoshop CS, brushes from Truly Sarah, Elisabrush, The Brush Shop, Brushes @ Unyeilding.

It’s been a really busy few days. I already had long tests in both my Japanese and Psychology classes, and it has only been five days. Summer classes have really taken its toll on me. I feel that I’ve been studying more this summer than in the regular semester. Also, I feel that I have a greater workload. Learning basic Japanese, for me, is one of the major factors that definitely makes my summer a whole lot more challenging. *sigh*

Well, I have memorized the Hiragana characters and pronounciation. But since Nihonggo isn’t my native tongue I still mix up most of the characters. Eh! It’s hard to be fluent because I still have to rack my brain everytime I encounter any words written in Hiragana. Now, I’m in the process of memorizing Katakana. It’s so much more difficult than the previous one. I don’t know why but it’s harder to remember. Oh, I agree with most people that it’s characters are simpler and with fewer strokes. But the bottom line is: Katakana is a pain to memorize. Argh!

I’ve blogged before that I got accepted as in Celadon MAFIA right? I feel that I’ve kind of been neglecting my duties since I haven’t started calling my “mock flock” and haven’t brainstormed on my assigned projects. Eep! I will do that as soon as I can. *hehe* I’ve been so busy, stressed and tired.

This morning one of my friends (anonymity and confidentiality ensured *lol*) was feeling really down and depressed. He even joked about being suicidal! Shucks… I don’t know why he’s feeling that way but I’ve got a gut feeling that it’s because of his parents. His parents are really strict and he can’t go out with friends unless he has a really good excuse. (like going to birthdays, debuts, plays, other school requirements) For me though, all in all he has a pretty good life. He is so smart and has a lot of friends. It’s just really so sad to see him like that.

Oh, I read in my Santrock’s Psychology book that writing down your feelings, emotions, frustrations, anger, etc. etc. (basically keeping a journal of thoughts) helps alleviate depression. I suggested that to my friend but he seems unconvinced. In my own experience, I do feel that blogging helps me out emotionally. I am given a chance to sort out my thoughts, formulate smart decision, and generally makes me feel better.
