I've come to the painful realization that bright red nails don't suit me. They made me look slutty. My cousin, aunt and ex nearly laughed their heads off. Oh well. Back to the safe and reliable pastels ...

Pilgrim

PILGRIM (Enya)

Pilgrim, how you journey
on the road you chose
to find out why the winds die
and where the stories go.
All days come from one day
that much you must know,
you cannot change what's over
but only where you go.

One way leads to diamonds,
one way leads to gold,
another leads you only
to everything you're told.

In your heart you wonder
which of these is true;
the road that leads to nowhere,
the road that leads to you.

Will you find the answer
in all you say and do?
Will you find the answer
In you?

Each heart is a pilgrim,
each one wants to know
the reason why the winds die
and where the stories go.

Pilgrim, in your journey
you may travel far,
for pilgrim it's a long way
to find out who you are...

Pilgrim, it's a long way
to find out who you are...

Pilgrim, it's a long way
to find out who you are...

It's scary when you wake up one day only to find yourself asking, " Am in love with him or in love with love itself?"

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two. - Captain Corelli's Mandolin

I've received a number of gasps and "whats" when people learned about my decision to wait til Feb '08 for the much-awaited license (hopefully, I'll get it...let's keep our fingers crossed). Well, there are 2 big reasons...

Reason # 1: I'm SO NOT a crammer!

Reason # 2: I multi-tasked (helped out in my bro's biz, managed the household, went on 24-hour duties) big time when I was an intern which left me really drained, emotionally and physically.

So, I've finally decided to relieve myself of the additional mental and emotional torture that the August boards would surely bring. I'm taking the Feb boards. Good luck to all my friends who'll take the August boards! Praying for you everyday...

Puzzle

I'm halfway through the completion of my puzzle
The puzzle that is me
Through the years, I patiently added and removed pieces
From the puzzle that is me
This puzzle may be Picasso to others
The more you try to understand, the more you get confused
You'll feel dazed, a bit intoxicated by the truth
Then you start doubting the truth
About the puzzle that is me
It remains a mystery to the Maker
What are your plans?
I'm halfway through the completion of my puzzle
I'm more than the past and less than the future
Tomorrow, take me to Nirvana and make me whole...
