blood, sweat and tears

well, i just returned from the hospital scarcely hungry ! Since my mother is afraid that i might had a TBC (hepatitis C), i made an appointment to the doctor and went straight to the lab to check my health. i was so nervous that i can't sing, when i know that they will take my blood ! Urgh, i felt like i was full of sweat and tears... Not that i cry or anything. When the doctor slowly beginning to get the ever so small needle, i was cringing and i dance (fidgeted actually). i cant stop laughing...of course till the needle get there. my mom said "nggak sakit kan ?" and i was "sakit, dikit... ayo nyanyi mam, supaya aku nggak pusing. ahhahahahahah". akhirnya, gue selesai di ambil darahnya. dan waktu gue lihat berapa banyak darah yang diambil...

meditation on negativity

where is that scholarship application that i need to write on?? Oh, gosh, this thing is DRIVING ME NUTS ! i'm afraid i wont get to university. oh, dang! HOWEVER, to put my mind in a better state of mind, i'll think about happy thoughts. hmm, AH ! i remember, i got eight (or seven) months of holiday now. and i've found ways to spend it. i'm going to apply for a japan or UK or italy gap year language program.
