The Return of the Comeback: 8 Things

O hai :3

Notice anything different?

Well, in light of the changes and because it's summer, I decided to go light on ze blog. So zere.

My, my, my. Where to start?

Well, initially, before I had to go to the bathroom for number 1, I thought of doing a 5 things post as a thing of my return.

Why 5?

I have no idea! And I scrapped the idea.

I'm going with 8 because it's my number :p

So let's get crackin'!

Wow. Who's missed me?

It's been ages, hasn't it? About four months since my last post and honestly, I think a lot has happened and an exponential change just pounced on me.

I wonder who'd notice me blogging again. Well, if you go to TC (Team Carnival) maybe you'd see that I'm no longer on the bottom (from not posting). Or maybe I'dve posted this on Twitter. Or even facebook, maybe.

But that isn't the point, is it?

In truth I wasn't planning on coming back today. I was hoping to come back. And I guess I only felt the real push in me to come back from thinking of what's been happening.

I miss this, y'know? Feeling like I'm talking to a lot of people in one go, hoping to make people laugh or to maybe share something new, something interesting or something completely useless but entertaining nonetheless!

But enough of that!

Let's get to "The 8 Things" shall we? (And yes, I find it amusing that it reminds me of a Miley Cyrus song :p)

1) Well seeing as it's fitting with the number, I am single now :) Don't worry, I'm not making a mess here :)) But I feel that it's something I should put out there as it may be weird to people that I don't mention Mik as much anymore. And yes, it is the reason I've been away. I've needed time and space to find myself and to be okay again. Though I'm not at tip top shape, I'm happy for how I've grown and I'm somewhat strong enough to be back as you can see :)

2) On a lighter note

I wear glasses now :) Well, not 24/7. And the funny thing is that my vision is still 20-20. My problem is glare. All those nights of working on my laptop in the dark has made my eyes sensitive to the light. I've noticed things were screwy when I'd be bothered with sunlight or looking at the AVP in class while no one else seemed to experience pain or headaches :p

3)  I'm somewhat glad I was "away." I got to concentrate on my academics, kinda. I mean, this has been me :))

Buried under papers, getting home late when I'd do them with mates

Studying for exams, ticking off a person per topic and killing the giant that represents the subject :))

4) I'm doing a Lenten sacrifice

It's not that I wanna be all "omg, look I'm awesome and good." Actually, I have never sacrificed anything for Lent before. To me faith is choosing to do something, not being all "ahh fine." I chose to let go of meat from Ash Wednesday all 'til the end of Lent. The only meat I could have is seafood and eggs (because I'm not a veggie person :|). It's a little big for me and surprisingly I'm not complaining as much as I thought I would :p It's hard because I'm more carnivore than anything else but I'm staying strong :) For faith! (PS, I'm not shoving my faith down anyone's throat in case you're getting any ideas :p)

5) I've learned that one's definition of friendship varies from person to person

To me friendship isn't bound by time and space. Someone could be miles apart or that person and I could just have a few minutes together and that would be okay. We don't have to talk all the time, we'd be secure in our friendship and that's that. I have friends miles away and we may not talk everyday, but you know what? That doesn't make us any less of friends.  I found that I like expanding my circle, I like being with people I can be comfortable with in silence, I like being with those who don't bring me down. There's been drama, can you tell? But again, I'm not making much of a mess here :p What I can say is that I found just how much I value me time and space and not having to explain everything. I do, very much so and that I need it respected. HOKAY ENOUGH :))

6) I think I've grown up a little more. And I thought I'd die without Mik but guess what? I'm still here

Yep. I'm still here. I've grown up a little. I'm a little more assertive, I know what I want a little more and generally, things are better. I've learned that I deserve way better.

7) I've gotten a helix piercing

No pics for you guys yet :p But yes, I did get one a few weeks back. If you don't know what it is, google would be of great help :p Why did I get it? Well, the story on why'd I get it and what it was like would be a wonderful story for another post :p

8) There's so much more to do.

I'm planning quite a bit for this summer for bettering myself. Though my summer is significantly short because internship starts kinda early but like getting back to blogging and all, I'll go through it one by one and be happy with myself when internship rolls along.

So there. Phew! I was toying with the idea of including something beauty related here but I think I deserve to have something somewhat personal as I think I wouldn't include any more personal posts (well to a certain degree) here as I'd have other avenues for it :p Don't worry though, I'll get back on track :)

'Til then,

Love muchness,

Ciao!
