Another Day In the Life

One thing that I would think is great about being alone so often is the relief of having no conflicts in my life. I got a tad tangled up in new and old friends coming and visiting in town... that I was soo busy and having a blast, I didn't stop to think how it may make other people feel.. I didn't realise I had that much of an impact, and now that they are gone, and visiting time is over I have had the chance to sit down and breath... think about it... and truly agree in silence that seeing too many people is unnecessarily distracting. I love seeing my friends, but I very much dislike too much conflict and gossip.
Today was a fantastic day!! I finally received my dinette set with hutch... hehe, it's soo gorgeous! and not to forget I received my couches also :)
It was back to work for me today after spending a couple days in vancouver and seeing my family. Unce Sheldon came in from Singapore, Uncle Brad, Aunty Audrey, and Daniel came up from New York... I was able to finally see my Aunty Kerry whom I haven't seen in like eight years.. And spend time with my cousin Sam, we went shopping on Robson. Ate lunch at Moxie's and Dinner at Grama and Grampa's. It was just splendid, I was overly excited and releaved to finally have some family time for a change. Not to mention getting to see my mom again hehe.
On the way back I even got to visit my good friend Meryl in Chilliwack. We solidified our plans for my birthday, and now im even more stoked.. since it is only like a week away :D
Anyways, My blogging may be very random if at all, for I have no internet in my new house yet... so Anytime im around the university I shall try to remember. Goodnight to all.

The Color Of Freedom

I watched this movie the other week and It really got me thinking. About how things were in the past and how things are now... And in some ways life has changed drastically, yet in others nothing has seemed to sinch a bit to any progressive state.
This movie "The Color of Freedom" is a true story, told by Nelson Mendela's prison guard. Now if no one knows who this man is I can attempt a brief description of what I understand. He was an activist for freedom in South Africa, he wanted whites and blacks to live in harmony together. He was a strong leader, but he believed in peace and not violence. I admire this man.. This story was just amazing to me. You see the prison guard was of course a white man, and he started to befriend Mendela while he was watching after his section of the jail. He got in trouble for Mendela just to do little things for him.. like give a chocolate to his wife for him... This showed how some peope no matter how tough they seem, they can show compassion too... And he didn't care that other people thought his friendship with Mendela was wrong... because he knew it was right. And really, that is all that matters in the end... It is your decision to make the move... It is your life.. Live it with compassion.
