A few months back...I was stressed out...like totally. I wanted things to come to a halt..and that's about it. So, they did.

A couple of months back...I was pretty happy enjoying life...until recently...I felt a lack somewhere. Seriously...

I was supposed to go out a while ago until my tiredness and hormones took over. I do not feel like seeing anybody...I do not feel like talking to anybody...simply because everyone is seemingly so shallow nowadays. Well...of course...RR is not...but sometimes, I would like a break. And at times I think WR is just a plain idiot...that now I need a break from h too. Sometimes, it's pretty heartbreaking to be in a situation when you would want to spend more time with someone and yet you would want to restrain yourself from doing that at the same time due to many ridiculous reasons. What should I do?

I was checking out kath's site and when I read "Don't worry darling, there are still people who will accept you"...I'm wonder aloud to myself. I feel stupid all over again.

Anyways...

I wanted to go to P...but then again...sometimes I don't feel belonged. geez...sometimes I wonder why am I always doing things which my group doesn't do...it somehow made me felt like a lone ranger sometimes. There...I need to get along with the right ones...

I guess...tonight, I'll lie low and complete reading the several journals I saved up (and am really glad I photocopy that textbook last time...I knew it will be of use!). That...is getting more and more like a lifelong passion. At least, it keeps me distracted from stupid thoughts and possibly heartache too. Right..especially when no one understands why you are doing what you are doing and feeling what you are feeling...

Simplicity is a gift

When life gets boring or tough and there's no cheerleader around,always remember to find little things in Life to lift yourself up. I think these white ones did the trick for me today:)

FANTASTIC!! A way to retrieve your song files from iPod

It's a love at first sight when I saw Bob's iPod. That was the first generation and I was still in high school. Not long after the second generation came into the market and bhoy...it was totally selling hot cakes. I remember it was Christmas and I wanted to only buy the 20gb but it was all sold out. I didn't want to get the 40gb but I got psycho-ed (so to say)...haha...then again, I was saving so hard for it and with that 20gb extra, it costs me only RM200...so I was like...okay, I could use that extra storage.

That was how I got hold of my first ever iPod. Love at first sight and happily ever after. I was using it most of the time until I decided that it is a little inconvenient for me to carry it around. Well, all thanks to the battery. Yup, battery was a pain and moreover, I can't find a way to transfer my songs back to my PC -- that was not only a pain but totally frustrating.

Back then, no site offer any suggestions at all on how to transfer the files and I was so sad over it because there are some good songs which you can't find it elsewhere-- especially chinese songs. I mean, I've got some really good oldies which I got through P2P and multiply. (Damn huh that nowadays, they forbid songs sharing in multiply :(( )

SO, I really really wanted to keep the digital copy but I guess mr. Steve knows better. Anyways, I haven't been using my iPod much until recently and so I googled again to find if there's a way to get back my precious songs. There you go, I managed to find a way! Thanks to the genius out there:

1. Connect your iPod — Warning! if iTunes loads when you plug in your iPod, and is set to automatically sync your entire library (erasing your iPod), you MUST stop it — hit the little “X” in the upper right hand corner of the window.
2. Open your iPod — It should show up on “My Computer” as a “Mobile Device”; right click and choose “Explore”. Alternatively, go to the Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, and double-click your iPod.
3. Unhide the files — By default, Windows hides hidden files and folders (thus the name). Go to Options (in the Tools menu), and on the View tab, check “Show Hidden Files and Folders”.
4. Find the Music — The music is stored (in current iPods) in the directory “\iPod_Control\Music”. This may have a lot of odd looking stuff in it — it doesn’t matter; select everything and drag and drop them to a folder on your hard drive.
5. Configure iTunes — Go into iTunes Preferences, and under the Advanced tab, check “Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to the library” (settings move around a bit between versions of iTunes, but these settings will be there somewhere).
6. Add Your Files — In iTunes, select File, Add Folder to Library, and select the folder where you copied the files from your iPod. Alternatively, just drag and drop this folder onto iTunes

When I'm feeling cold, when there's no one out there to hold,
Who should I turn to? Where should I go? How should I brave through the many pages soon to be unfold?

The comfortable presence that was always there has now becomes a shadow,

Hidden from the light and disappeared from the sight, gliding in the background like an undying knight,

Was that my imagination, a hallucination or did such a guardian truly once touched my life?

Touched but not lasting, touched yet flawed, touched and left,

That leaves a void in a place where only the ones with the Key could enter,

A void that will be slowly filled but surely and definitely it will be.

A parting is always a goodbye nonetheless; it is also a hello,

A smile to an acquaintance, a chat with a stranger and a whole new beginning altogether,

Put a Song on air, gracefully, dancers pose with such flair and elegance, each step light as feathers,

Every step to the beat, every enchanting flaunt, captivating and oh-so-beguiling,

A dance is like a transition from reality into a world of only you and I and the dance,

And the music and the sways and the surreal space,

It takes a step to make a bond; from that bond we weave a tale and did you realize?

The void is no longer a void, the Key has been found and the guardian is now assuming its role.

Incomparable, yes, and it is not meant to be,

It is not the same and yet alike, like a profile in a different character,

There is much to be discovered,

To give and to take, to be patient and to forgive, to understand and to tolerate,

To love like there is no tomorrow and to live without regrets or sorrows,

This marks the beginning of an ending,

But...is it really a beginning to an ending...or if it is an ending to a beginning?

One can never be too sure, but quoting a random phrase:

"Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option"

it works both way...seriously...but damn...it's pretty difficult to execute...
anyways, a *hug* to all the people out there who shares the same sentiments.
