Tones

So T and I are talking and indicating the tones of our statements and messages after each one because at one point, he nearly complained of the lack of tone in online messaging. Hence, we decided to make clarifications (amusement).

About half an hour ago, we came back from watching "The Proposal". "We" as in my two younger cousins, my sister, and myself. Originally, we were supposed to watch "Up" but my mother decided to be LATELATELATE, and by the time we got there, not only had the movie (previews) begun, but the show was also sold out. So we had to settle for second best, which ended up proving itself a darn good choice. But we had to miserably window shop for almost an hour before the movie began. That theater was so full! But yeah, "The Proposal" is such a hilarious movie. Romantic comedies are the light of my theatrical life. Yay!<3
Hopefully, I can go watch "My Sister's Keeper" and "Up" sometime soon...

On a different note, I finally got Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen! For about twelve dollars, with a 40% off coupon and all that good stuff. I love Borders bookstore, and I love Sarah Dessen. then I got a 5 Steps to a 5 book for AP Spanish Language, which must be pretty weird for some people to witness since I'm merely an Asian nerd... But whatever, you know? I gotta do what I gotta do!

So, my plans for this upcoming week:
Monday--Daisy's middle school graduation, then whatever
Tuesday-- finish "Memoirs of a Geisha" with Daisy
Wednesday--bookbookbook!
Thursday--runrunrun, bookbookbook!
Friday--movie?
weekend--TBA

Okay, I'm getting bored of myself.
Bye for now!

Talking about T1D

I used to tell people, "I am diabetic" or "I am a diabetic" and I never liked saying that because it wasn't something that people reacted positively to, or it wasn't something that everybody understood.  Previously, I wrote about my first taste of empowerment , when I (finally) learned in middle school to give myself injections. Undoubtedly, this turning point also brought about a change in attitude. Until then, I used to constantly be frustrated or angry about having diabetes, about not being able to do X/Y/Z, about being micromanaged by my parents. After I learned to administer injections to myself and especially after I started using the insulin pump, I began to feel more control over and ownership of my condition. I no longer had to rely on my mother or the school nurse, and I could take insulin whenever, for whatever I wanted to eat (within reason) or glucose reading I needed to correct.  One day, I had an epiphany: that what I had been tell

Becoming Happier

Image
I can't always make other people happy. It's hard to do and even harder to admit. I spent years making decisions and commitments based on what I thought others wanted or needed, forgoing the better decisions for and commitments to myself. I tried to convince myself that seeing other people happy made me happy, but alas, they were only fleeting moments. On the occasions I failed to make somebody happy, I became disappointed. On the occasions somebody was completely unappreciative, I became angry. Furthermore, I can't ever base my happiness on one person, or any group of persons. I have to find happiness on my own terms, and that means asking myself what I want, and actually doing it. (from " Reflections ", January 2018)  You know the saying, "Do what makes you happy"? Well, I've been trying that out for the past year or so, and it really works. It took a lot for me to realize that I hadn't been happy, and it took a long time for me to become h

Things I Wish I'd Known

I don't need to try to please everybody. As valiant and commendable of an effort as one can make, it is impossible to make everybody happy. While happiness can ensue via acts of service for others, I've come to realize that it also has to be actively pursued by asking myself what I want .  A good relationship with my parents is just as important as a good relationship with anybody else. In middle school, I began to "rebel", and in doing so, I of course often upset my parents, and began to communicate with them less and less about my daily goings-on. Meanwhile, I began to develop deep relationships with friends and later romantic relationships with boy(s). A part of me thought that it was a trade-off--either relationship with my parents or relationships with my friends. And I made a choice. But really, there was truly no reason it couldn't have been both.  Not every relationship (the general sense of the word, not just the romantic sense) needs to stay a relatio
