Why do people blog?

I've been thinking, why am i religiously blogging? Am i bored with my life? In a way, yes, my life is not too interesting. i'm not rescuing people affected by earthquakes or tsunamis. i'm not spreading God's word in some obscure corner of the earth (which doesn't make sense cos earth's round, therefore there are no corners). i'm not even volunteering any of my free time to the less fortunate. what am i happy with my life? in my 23 years, what have i done for others? I can't think of anything really substantial to speak of. when i die, what will ppl remember of my existence? "Stella watched a lot of Korean shows (with good endings), whined a lot, tagged along to all the group outings (never organising any), took a long time warming up to ppl (if at all), seemed kinda proud... " I need to do something about this.

i guess i just want to let off steam. There are things going on with my life, which are beyond my control, which i'm not particularly happy about. But i'm not totally unhappy yet. don't send me into woodbridge yet, i'm not that depressed. in fact, i'm desperately trying to stop myself from turning into this sad, jaded person, (which i think i'm gradually becoming *shiver*). i'm counting my blessings from now. Why am i happy with my life? Because i have a bunch of great friends who has been with me for at least 10 years. (wow!!) Because i have a great guy with me, who's patient and kind and considerate. smart too. Because i have my family who cares for me. Because because. i'm glad to be alive.

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)
