pocket burnt

look at how small the bottle is, compared to a quarter Does the elongated blue top reminds you of something?? Perhaps...... These 2 little bottles burnt a mega hole in my pocket the small bottle of eye-drop costs $139.99 the Simpson's mom bottle costs $152.99 without taking into account Claritin Allergy pills which costs $10+ I'm already broke. What's good about it is that after purchasing my medicine, I just went window-shopping without spending a single cent in Old Navy. So proud of myself huh! (simply because i'm broke) Oh, and I definitely wanna thank my roommate for being such a kind soul!! She brought me to the clinic, pharmacy (several times), HEB and Old Navy (heh!) can't ask for more.

Allergy

Allergy is killing me!! I have pretty much heard about allergies ever since I came to Texas. running nose, flu, sneezing... all are classified under allergies. and I was confused! those are symptoms of getting a cold or fever! Do the Americans just use another term for catching a cold? (like how they call rubbish bin: trash can, toilets: bathroom/restrooms, soft toys: stuffed animals, and the list can go on forever...) Well, I have been here for 1 year and 7 months. and I have never had any allergies until Now! Boooo to allergies!

Thank God Texas is more known for the Summer...

I have learnt a lot from the Masterpiece conference that I've just went. A conference for college women, a ministry of Breakaway. http://masterpiececonference.com/ I can write a whole essay on this but, for now, maybe I'd just share a lil that had sunk deeply in me. All of us have baggage: #1 sinful nature 'pride is the root of all sin' #2 unhealed wounds ladies walking around with a sign 'Beware! wounded!' ' Comparison is the thief of joy' C.S.Lewis We tend to compete over the thing that we find our identity in. we have a lot of desires. evil desires 13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. James 1:13, 14 Desires we seek to be fulfilled in a worldly friendship : some girls have the desire to be needed. always feel good when they are needed by their friends. and placing their ident...

Tidbits of Life

1. I got punched today! on my right cheek. Ouch it hurts! but i don't think there'll be bruises (i hope not!) well, it's my self defense class skill test today. and my partner and I are supposed to perform the few punches, elbow strikes, 360 defenses, wrist escapes. and while I'm being the attacker, she defended with all her might *dush* 'Sorry!!!!!' smile. 'it's ok.' I said 'But it hurts. Ouch' 'I'm so sorryy!!' Lol. a good story of how 'disaster' can be turned into a good deal? well, there and then, when we perform our acts to our instructor, she praises us that we remembered to keep our guards up! which a lot of the rest do not remember to do so. haha! we high-5! and told our instructor, cos I just got punched, now i'll always remember to guard my head and face! 2. I had the deadliest week ever : last week with 2 exams on Tues, 1 Wed, 1 Fri. and 3 of them are physics! I survived :D (thank you Jesus!) with 2 hours of...
