a week ago, i thought i had it all figured out. everything made sense. my mind was satisfied with the answers.
but now a week later, im not so sure anymore. too many things have happened within this week.
hmm... back to my paper. thoughts must not wander from this paper... for tonight anyways. haha...
PS. cant wait for new Passion CD in January! the brand new Hillsong United EP is awesome! Second Chance. sooooo hooked onto this song! just like when i first heard To Know Your Name in the summer. and guess what? TKYN is also on this EP! hahaha! =)

asfghjkl?????
iunno... my mind seems to be clogged or something. or rather it just keeps going in circles.
i think... i miss toronto. I DONT KNOW. that thought just came to me just now as i was thinking of something to type.
you see... i actually have nothing to blog about. i just came on to blogger after reading other ppl's blogs then i didnt wanna study for my quiz later today... so here i am. hmm...
but maybe going home to TO wouldnt be a bad idea. but i cant. cus i know i get zero academics done in TO.
and the funny thing is it wasnt that long ago i was at home. actually, now that i think about it. dunno if TO is the place i wanna go. maybe back in TO, i dont have to care about certain things.
you nkow what, maybe i should study. get my mind on academics. and temporarily block out other thoughts that just confuse the crap outta me.
oh you know what else? food has sorta lost its appeal. i dont know... LOL.
i love band. i cant wait til windsor and fingal this weekend!!!
umm.. ok bye. study time.

procrastination at its max!
countdown: 2 papers (one is overdue =P), and 4 finals to go til year 2 term 1 is over!
oh! cant forget the 3 more santa claus parades, and 1 recording session!
fast eh? yup.
going back to a few posts (beginning of summer), i wrote how i blog when i procrastinate. well, here i am now. stupid papers. i dont wanna write this 8-10 page paper on the great wall of china for my asian history028 class. ughhh... i'll get to it... eventually. haha...
so where to begin with my thoughts lately? there's quite a few categories. lets start with music!
MUSIC (www.last.fm/user/shnickyfan)
so ever since msn came out with "show what you're listening to", ppl have made quite a few comments on the songs im listening to. like, do ppl AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME im 'relating' to that song's lyrics just cus im listening to it? just cus i enjoy a certain genre of music, and that genre usually has lyrics about the same thing, it doesnt mean i relate to the music. for example... i like listening to slow jams. westlife. boybands. cheese in general. why? cus i think it sounds good. its amazing background music. and its generally about love. but that doesnt mean im thinking about love. its just great music i enjoy in the background. most of the time, im in my room doing a puzzle, playing a game, etc. you can ask me to recall the lyrics of a song. i can maybe tell you some selective words, but do i know what they mean? no. like... this is something i've trained myself to do from the beginning. for secular music, i tune out the lyrics. i listen to secular songs for the beat or melody or whatever else but the lyrics. since i also listen to hiphop for the awesome beats, those songs are generally about sex or something related to it. also, often containing swearing. so i tune out the lyrics. which is in a way bad, cus sometimes i tune out the lyrics for worship songs too. haha.. but i dont tune em out during worship. cus the lyrics are right in front of your face on a screen. but ANYWAYS, the point is, here is my explaination of the music i listen to. just cus i feel like listening to a song, does not mean i relate to the lyrics and want to listen. i honestly just like the melody or need music of that genre in the background playing. next topic!
HEALTH
so ive been not too healthy lately. been so busy with school work, i actually havent been to A&P in like 2 weeks. im NOT LYING. so what have i been eating? clearing out what i have in the kitchen, and eating on campus i guess. ive only set foot in mcdonalds ONCE and i only bought ONE chicken snack wrap. so that means im either eating unhealthily, or starving. well, ive been eating my box of cereal too. what else do i have in the kitchen? frozen stuff, canned stuff, and more frozen stuff. and frozen stuff = dumplings, chinese dishes (like... "soong".) + cook rice, and white ppl frozen stuff. hmm... i guess once this overdue history paper is over and done with, i need to hit up A&P and buy some proper food and fruits and veggies. and it doesnt help that im parading my drum around southern ontario for a good 4 weeks. lol... i need to keep my health up and not get sick. weather's getting colder. but at least i get my sleep. good that i sleep and rest up. bad that sleep cuts into academics time. but hey, i get my sleep! haha...
SPIRITUAL LIFE
so for a good while now (and by that, i mean since grade 8), i have NOT done daily devos. but rather, i do devos when i feel like i want to learn. i realized that when i forced myself to do daily devos, i didnt look forward to it, and i did it "just because' and of course, i did NOT get anything out of it. lately, i havent read the Bible much. but rather, everytime im deep in thought (which is in the shower, before i go to sleep, when i wake up, walking to bus stop, walking back, walking from class to class / around campus, basically anytime im alone), i spend all those times talking to God. thast pretty much prayer right? but instead of the typically 'bow your heads, put your hands together, close your eyes' dealio, its more of a 'convo with God' time. i guess its not so much im searching for God, but rather sitting back, talk to Him, and let Him reveal what He wants me to see / know. and as mentioned in my previous post, im still in touch with my high school friends. often in our sharing emails, there will be a passage or two. so i'll look those up and see what i can get out of those passages. =) guess im taking a new spin on ways to keep that spiritual life up. learning everyday!
FACEBOOK
its not so much stalking, but keeping in touch. i realized i only have like.. 4 ppl from band on my msn list. and they're all from the drumline. haha... so facebook is the way to go i guess! refer to http://dynequilibrium.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html i posted this last year. and guess what? now i have found 3 ppl from c4c in band! and one of them is in the drumline with me. =) persistence in prayer, and God provides. its always so hard when you're alone and the only Christian (or thats how i felt last year in band). not to mention the only asian. but its changed this year with new additions. and im glad to say my attendance in band has been perfect since... early october? =) yay band! cant wait to see whats gunna happen!
OTHER RANDOM MUMBLE JUMBLE
i dont know what else... well, there are things on my mind. but not stuff i would like to share about on blogger. haha... see... my mind is always overloaded with things OTHER THAN academics. lol! ok... enough procrastinating. back to my paper. haha...

time machine anyone?
haha... so a recent discussion of me wanting a biological older sibling (preferably brother) led to this hilarious quote of the term. so picture this... Hiram, Justine, and me sitting at einsteins.
Justine: Pris wants a biological older brother
Hiram: oh.
*silence*
*thinks for a while*
Hiram: HUH? isn't that.. wait... isnt that not possible?
Justine & Pris: LOL!! (well, we didn't say lawl, we actually laughed. =P)
took him a while to realize its not possible. haha... then we realized if someone DID build a time machine, no one wants to be the one to tell my parents that =P
anyways, but yeah. i definitely would like a time machine. not to speed up or go back in time, but just to slow time down. year 2 term 1 is nearly over! frig! parade season begins 2MRW!! (AWWW YEAHHHH!!) i have 7 quizzes/papers/assignments and 4 finals left. its pretty crazy. its already started snowing in london. too fast! just a bit more than 2.5yrs of univ left. and guess what? i still dont know what im gunna graduate with. a 3 year major? or a 3 year double minor? but done in the time span of 4 years? hahha... yeah. im not an academic person. i realized i was definitely more suited for college and i cheated my way into univ with my high school music marks. hence why im screwing up pretty badly in terms of marks i guess. but you know what? im still glad i came to western. rez experience (not that it was good, but at least i can say i got the experience), moving out, ACF, WMB, the ppl, etc. and many other things that i would be missing out on if i choose ryerson per say =P. and many recent convos and discussions with brothers and sisters about academics has really changed my perspective. like.. many ppl with good academics are learning to face the fact that God hasnt called them to the certain career they were aiming for and is capable of acheiving it. then there are others who havent done as well but still (barely) managing to finish the academics, but as clueless as ever about their careers. then leaving the rest up to God cus honestly, when have we ever known whats 'best' for us? we dont. we never did. as babies, our parents did everything they THOUGHT was best for us. and when get older and make our own decisions, we usually try to base them on what WE THINK is best for us. but lets face it. when do when have any idea? we can never see the big picture. thats why we need to be just doing what we can now and leaving the rest up to God. He already has our future planned out. if something happens (good or bad), then try to learn what God has to say to you thru it. im currently academically constipated (as in im not in any program nor do i know what i can do) but im still learning loads thru non academics at western. acf is going thru changes, living at summit is definitely a whole category of its own, im enjoying wMB more than ever, and cant forget the amazing bunch of high school friends im still in touch with! oh yeah, and scac is going thru some changes too! academics definitely isnt top priority in my life. well, it never was. haha.. =P guess im made out to be one of those ppl who never care too much about academics, whether im doing good or bad. balance. im assuming most ppl will have a good chunk of their awake day (the portion of the day when you're sleeping) either studying or working (student or career). i guess the percentage of my studying bit is rather low. it always has been. haha... guess what im trying to say is, im learning to embrace what i DO have in my life right now. and to not worry so much. check out Matthew 6:25-34. such a common passage yet i still need constant reminders about it.
i am honestly so thankful for my bunch of high school friends. the 7 of us. whenever we have any problems or celebrations, we just type it up and send it off to each of us. sharing! and we try to meet up when we can. but with 7 of us, in 3 different cities, and at 4 different universities, its pretty hard. so yay for technology! and even msn prayers! haha... i find it better sometimes. cus you get to read what other ppl are praying. its typed out. its pretty awesome i must say =) crazy support for each other? i think so. GIGATT!
another thing... i think there are 5 gr12s from SCAC who're currently picking Western as their first choice for next year!! AWW YEAHHHH! im so excited! haha... its been awesome that they're asking about western, and just more communication between me and them. s'like we fall out after softball/summer, but this has kept the conversations going.
see... theres so much good going on. i shouldnt focus on the uncertainties of my academics which only makes up a small portion of my life right now. anyways. enough rambling on and on about the same thing. (did i go in circles? or were the topics just circling in my brain? or both? haha...). i need to shower and sleep. cus of PARADE 2MRW!!!! =D so excited! altho i might die from tiredness of 3hrs of parading and carrying a bass drum. arghhh... WEAKKKK me. haha... =P
