is to love and be loved.

So many things in 2006;
2006 is (not was, not yet anyway) a far cry from 2005.
I guess I've changed in many ways, good and bad I suppose.
Everyone does, right?
***
There was the most obvious transition,
from an all-girls' secondary school to a more independent co-ed course, that's more focused (on media - as a business, pui. Lol.) than as compared to the gazillion subjects we learn in sec sch ;
the transition of being pushed, to being independent,
where there's no one telling you what to do and how to do it,
and we have to figure it out ourselves ;
the transition from where my confidantes were around me 24/7,
to an environment where I had to fend for myself, mostly.
then there was the emotional transition,
where I found love ; :)
where I found out what it was like to feel so much for another, to want to care for, protect and love another human being.
and there was the transition of realising that life is not at all as sweet and easy as I'd hoped it would be, from thinking that everything would work out no matter what
- though I still stick to my Christian/naïve belief that things work out if you believe in it enough.
I felt stress in all its glory,
as well as happiness,
and sadness,
and pain. >:( , :) , :( , :/
Life is all about transitions and change,
but how many of us really appreciates what comes out of these changes we're put through?
I can't say I do,
because as much as I try to deny it,
I am one who resists change,
who performs best in familiar environments where I don't feel threatened.
Resolutions for 2007:
1. Be nicer to my siblings.
2. Procrastinate less. Study in advance.
3. Stop neglecting my hobbies.
4. Drink less caffeine.
Funny, these were pretty much the same things I wanted to do in 2006.
Ahhhhhhhh well.

Did you read the papers today?
There's some new software that you can plant in your partner's/child's/whoever you're suspicious of 's phone, and you can spy on their smses.
There's some debate of whether this act is against the law or not,
but who cares;
i think that it's completely whack and a total infringement of privacy.
Unless of course it's your child's future at stake, then MAYBE such stupid stuff can be condoned. But, if you suspect your husband is cheating on you, why on earth would you want to find out? WHY?
Why subject yourself to more torture and pain and sadness and humiliation,
when you can just live in ignorance and happily think it's all okay?
Why.
I would just live in ignorance.
Ignorance. Is. Bliss.
Unless, of course, you have no more feelings for the bastard and want nothing more than to leave his side.
Then, I say, knock yourself out with this new toy.
Ahhh.
Happy New Year to all of you.
