AUTOBOTS, ROLL OUT

A better tomorrow
Written at Saturday, August 31, 2013
Never stop caring about the little things in life.

Never stop dreaming or give in to strife.

Never stop wondering, are we on our own?

Never stop thinking has your spirituality has grown.

Never stop building bridges that leads to better tomorrows.

Never stop trying or give into sorrow.

Never stop feeling amazed by the beauty that surrounds you.

Never stop hearing the music or give in to the blues.

 Never stop pushing away negative thoughts that make you feel sad.

 Never stop looking at all the miracles we have had.

Never stop loving the ones you hold dear.

Never stop giving or give into the fear.

Never stop smiling and look forward to each new day.

Never stop shining in your own special way.

Never forget that all storms will clear.

 Remember brighter tomorrows are always near.

 Melissa Leong, Never Stop

 Ah so apt!!! Just what I needed during this period of angst D:

Politically Correct
Written at Saturday, August 31, 2013
It's quite funny how most people strive to be politically correct

Out of fear of being corrected, maybe?

"Is being gay acceptable?"
"Yes"

If you say no...
Be prepared to be stoned

Why aren't you for this, for that?
Why aren't you ACCEPTING?
You narrow minded bigot.

The right answers sound pleasing to our ears.
They put up no fuss.
"Very good! Let's move on." is most often said.

But isn't being politically incorrect more fun?
Come on, rustle up some jimmies

MAKE SOME NOISE.

Question the man!
Burn down the patriarchy!
What have you.

Naw you don't have to be so extreme.
I guess just be more curious and don't always give the right answer..?
It makes things boring.

Always. Ask. Why.

We Are Weak
Written at Saturday, August 31, 2013
Isn't it cool how Mother Nature always manages to take over?

I was just in the car and passed by a building in Toorak-
The metal fencing around one of the houses was overflowing with ivy.

And I thought,
wow,
it must've taken quite long for the ivy to have grown so thick:
and covering the entire fence...

But isn't that what nature has that we don't?

Time...

 "Try to imagine a life without timekeeping.

You probably can't.
You know the month, the year, the day of the week.
There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car.
You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie.

Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored.
Birds are not late.
A dog does not check its watch.
 Deer do not fret over passing birthdays.

Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.

  A fear of time running out."

 -Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper 

Yeah and back to Mother Nature-
We can never beat her.
We die, to return to the earth.

Our factories and companies and schools and houses, once neglected, get overgrown by leaves.

Ah our frailty scares me
What makes man so powerful?
Why is man not the lesser species?

We are only powerful with the aid of weapons.
Yes, our ancient ancestors were skilled hunters- the best in the land- but what happened?
Look at Wall-E: the perfect portrayal of what will happen to humans.

Fat fat fat
Lazy
EUGH.

We kill nature to expand ourselves
But in fact we're slowly committing suicide.
WHERE ARE OUR BEAUTIFUL TREES THAT GIVE US OXYGEN

Slowly, slowly.
We're just fcuking ourselves up, man.
And we won't be missed
When Mother Nature overtakes us in the end.

I’ve wanted to get this down for a while. I have an interesting view when it comes to this.

I once heard someone call their body their “meatsuit” and it got me thinking. What is a body? Why do we place so much importance on it? There are so many people that place judgement on a person for their body, but never stop to consider the person inside that body.

My view is that our body is nothing more that our vehicle. We can see the world though the eyes, hear sounds through the ears, and express our thoughts with the vocal chords. But really what you and your body are are two entirely different things. And you leave your body behind when you die.

I think a person should put more effort into bettering “themselves” before their “vehicle.”

Basically, I try to live my life by looking past a persons body, or “vehicle” and trying to see the person inside. And it has helped me relate to people, it’s helped me look past differences, and it’s helped me kind of see that while we are all special, and we are all essentially equal.

wow wOW WOWW I'm famous guise! Get your autographs now!

Haha but eh I'm actually quite taken aback! That is not a *very* good legacy to be known by.

Revelation!!!
Written at Thursday, August 22, 2013
I should totally be doing HOI now but I just had a revelation

(*o*)

It's just that whenever I want something, I don't want to spend any money to get it...

Take this very lame example: if I wanted an unconverted neopet, I would need to train my current converted neopet to have high battling stats, or morph it into a highly sought after species, then can I apply to trade for an unconverted neopet. High battle stats and morphing potions cost extreme $$$, which is probably the reason why I don't have any cool neopets.

And revelation 1a is: this is why we all love gifts!
Free stuff, y'all.

Oh no am I coming off as extremely stingy??
I wouldn't hesitate to spend money on my friends and family! It's just that for myself I'm too lazy to buy what I want.

And revelation 1b, this is why they say SIMPLICITY IS KEY TO HAPPINESS.
I guess for me, I don't need extra stuff to make me happy.
All I want is for my surroundings to be optimistic as well and SHINE JOY EVERYWHERE

xoxo

Okay after this super excited bout of posting I'm really tired ahaha

"Life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it."

"Life is what happens when you are planning for it."


Just two simple quotes from my cutesy notebook :)

But actually they're really deep!

I feel like I'm not LIVING LIFE.

I don't know if you'll understand, but I feel like I'm cooped up, not experiencing life at its fullest?

I'm not adventurous in a certain sense
(I mean, sure, I'll go white water rafting/bungee jumping/skydiving with you, but only if transport is provided)

So I don't feel like I'm EXPANDING MY HORZONS enough.

Nuff said, I don't even go for brunch in Melbourne.
I really weally wanna go, but what pathetic excuses do I come up with?

Oh, no time. Gotta do homework.
Nobody to go with!
Erm... I feel like sleeping...

I MEAN, WHAT EVEN. I SHOULD BE GOING,

"LOLSIES CARPE DIEM YES I WILL GO"
#loser joy fo lyfe

I want to go...
-Skiing!
-Snowboarding!
(Just basically go to the snow)
-Brunch! (A million and one places to go)
-Mount Dandenong! (1000 steps!)
-QVM for intense fruit shopping!
-Random lunch places instead of always returning to Palmie
-Surfinggg
-To a farm ahhh

What am I doing with my life?
I don't want to walk down a path worn out by others: trinity, melb u, work. workworkworkwork. die.



(sorry for poor image quality! try opening it in a new tab?)

I want to drop it all
Run a few marathons,
Go backpacking around Aussie with my cam and a loved one,
Get up and watch the sun rise every day.
Maybe learn how to dance,
Learn a new language,
Try being a barista.

The possibilities are endless



We weren't made to be robots
We were made
To dance,
To sing,
To climb,
To love,
To embrace beauty.

And everyday,
I just come home, and use my iPad.
#loser joy fo lyfe again

I could be doing this!
I could be doing that!

I should be doing that...
Maybe I'll do this instead.

Shallow, shallow.
Go for the decision that'll make for a better story, they always said.
COOPING UP AT HOME IS NOT THAT.

But how??
How can I go to Mount Buller/Falls Creek/St Kilda?
Open up your mouth and ask, dummy.
That's why you have people around you.
They can help you arrange for transport/guidance, he'll, they'll even bring you there!

But I have homework...
Oh my gosh you idiot you were supposed to finish it AGES ago.
Do it. Do it now.
Learn a lesson, and next time you can play.

I think the worst action ever was for me was to get this iPad.
Everything boils down to self discipline doesn't it?
Work. Do your work.
Stop blogging about the life you could have, when you can't even manage your current life.

Over and out

Have to stop being selfish!!!!
Written at Sunday, August 18, 2013
I have to remember to be gracious.

I have to remember that not everything revolves around me.

I have to remember that others have lives too.

I have to remember to be conscious of that.

I have to be able to let go,

I have to be able to accept that it's impossible for me to be a priority forever.
Sorry x infinite
I have to remember I have other people in my life.
How did it turn out this way
But most importantly,

I have to remember to place others first.

And I will keep saying it until I believe it

Sixteen Small Steps to Happiness
Written at Wednesday, August 14, 2013

1. push yourself to get up before the rest of the world - start with 7am, then 6am, then 5:30am. go to the nearest hill with a big coat and a scarf and watch the sun rise.


2. push yourself to fall asleep earlier - start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm. wake up in the morning feeling re-energized and comfortable.



3. erase processed food from your diet. start with no lollies, chips, biscuits, then erase pasta, rice, cereal, then bread. use the rule that if a child couldn’t identify what was in it, you don’t eat it.



4. get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. sit and eat it and do nothing else.



5. stretch. start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can, then trying to touch your toes. roll your head. stretch your fingers. stretch everything.



6. buy a 1L water bottle. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice.



7. buy a beautiful diary and a beautiful black pen. write down everything you do, including dinner dates, appointments, assignments, coffees, what you need to do that day. no detail is too small.



8. strip your bed of your sheets and empty your underwear draw into the washing machine. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there and wash. make your bed in full.



9. organise your room. fold all your clothes (and bag what you don’t want), clean your mirror, your laptop, vacuum the floor. light a beautiful candle.



10. have a luxurious shower with your favourite music playing. wash your hair, scrub your body, brush your teeth. lather your whole body in moisturiser, get familiar with the part between your toes, your inner thighs, the back of your neck.



11. push yourself to go for a walk. take your headphones, go to the beach and walk. smile at strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. bring your dog and observe the dog’s behaviour. realise you can learn from your dog.



12. message old friends with personal jokes. reminisce. suggest a catch up soon, even if you don’t follow through. push yourself to follow through.



14. think long and hard about what interests you. crime? sex? boarding school? long-forgotten romance etiquette? find a book about it and read it. there is a book about literally everything.



15. become the person you would ideally fall in love with. let cars merge into your lane when driving. pay double for parking tickets and leave a second one in the machine. stick your tongue out at babies. compliment people on their cute clothes. challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. then two. then a week. walk with a straight posture. look people in the eye. ask people about their story. talk to acquaintances so they become friends.



16. lie in the sunshine. daydream about the life you would lead if failure wasn’t a thing. open your eyes. take small steps to make it happen for you.

If only I could do this
I should,
I can,
I will.

Thank you to my friends here who always nag me to do my homework!

I admit, sometimes I find it annoying.
But I know that it's for my own good and if it weren't for y'all, I'd be 10 years behind in the syllabus!

So yeah, thanks for:
-guilt tripping me
-forcing me to stay awake
-waking me up to study
-poking me during lectures
-locking my iPad
-switching on iPad Restrictions
-taking my iPad away
-offering incentives (chocolates!!!) to study
-just "Joy..."-ing me

Yes I'm actually very angry (during the actual nagging moment)
AND YET appreciative of all you guys do <3
Somehow I feel very loved hahaha does that make sense?
Cuz if you guys didn't give a rat's ass about me you wouldn't do such stuff :')

25 Napping Facts Every College Student Should Know
Written at Wednesday, August 07, 2013

1. It makes you smarter
According to Dr. Matthew Walker of the University of California, napping for as little as one hour resets your short-term memory and helps you learn facts more easily after you wake up.

2. Abandon all-nighters
Foregoing sleep by cramming all night reduces your ability to retain information by up to 40%. If you can, mix in a nap somewhere to refresh your hippocampus.

3. It doesn’t mean what you think
If you know you have to pull an all-nighter, try a “prophylactic nap." It’s a short nap in advance of expected sleep deprivation that will help you stay alert for up to 10 hours afterwards.

4. You can’t avoid that down period after lunch by not eating
Human bodies naturally go through two phases of deep tiredness, one between 2-4 a.m. and between 1-3 p.m. Skipping lunch won’t help this period of diminished alertness and coordination.

5. Pick the right time
After lunch in the early afternoon your body naturally gets tired. This is the best time to take a brief nap, as it’s early enough to not mess with your nighttime sleep.

6. Hour naps are great
A 60-minute nap improves alertness for 10 hours, although with naps over 45 minutes you risk what’s known as “sleep inertia," that groggy feeling that may last for half an hour or more.

7. But short naps are best
For healthy young adults, naps as short as 20, 10, or even 2 minutes can be all you need to get the mental benefits of sleep, without risking grogginess.

8. Drink coffee first
The way this works is you drink a cup of coffee right before taking your 20-minute or half-hour nap, which is precisely how long caffeine takes to kick in. That way when you wake up, you’re not only refreshed, but ready to go.

9. The NASA nap
A little group called NASA discovered that just a 26-minute nap increases performance by 34% and alertness by 54%. Pilots take advantage of NASA naps while planes are on autopilot.

10. Can’t sleep? Don’t stress
Even if you can’t fall asleep for a nap, just laying down and resting has benefits. Studies have found resting results in lowered blood pressure, which even some college kids have to worry about if they are genetically predisposed to high blood pressure.

11. Napping may save your life
A multi-year Greek study found napping at least three times per week for at least 30 minutes resulted in a 37% lower death rate due to heart problems.

12. More nap benefits for the brain
Not only will napping improve your alertness, it will also help your decision-making, creativity, and sensory perception.

13. But wait, there’s more
Studies have found napping raises your stamina 11%, increases ability to stay asleep all night by 12%, and lowers the time required to fall asleep by 14%.

14. The ultimate nap
According to Dr. Sara Mednick, the best nap occurs when REM sleep is in proportion to slow-wave sleep. Use her patented Take A Nap Nap Wheel to calculate what time of day you can nap to the max.

15. Fight the Freshman 15
Research shows that women who sleep five hours at night are 32% more likely to experience major weight gain than those sleeping seven hours. A two-hour nap isn’t feasible for many, but napping is a good way to make up for at least some lost night sleep.

16. If it was good enough for them…
Presidents JFK and Bill Clinton used to nap every day to help ease the heavy burden of ruling the free world. Of course, they also had other relaxation methods, but we won’t get into those.

17. Do like the Romans do
In ancient Rome, everyone, including children, retreated for a 2 or 3-hour nap after lunch. No doubt this is the reason the Roman empire lasted over 1,000 years

18. Don’t wait too long
The latest you want to wake up from a nap is five hours before bedtime, otherwise you risk not being able to fall asleep at night.

19. Sugar is not a good substitute for a nap
When we are tired, we instinctively reach for foods with a high glycemic index, but after the initial energy wears off, we’re left more tired than we were before.

20. It’s a good way to catch up
If it takes you less than five minutes to fall asleep at night, you are sleep deprived. If you never can seem to get to bed earlier at night, a mid-day nap is a great way to catch up on sleep.

21. Underclassmen need more sleep
Freshmen and sophomores who are still in your teens: you need up to 10 hours of sleep to feel rested. So odds are, you are sleep-deprived.

22. You’ll have to leave the party sooner
After one school-week of not getting enough sleep, three alcoholic drinks will affect you the same way six would when you are fully rested.

23. Don’t drive drowsy
Don’t be afraid to take advantage of an “emergency nap" on the side of the road in your car. Every year, as many as 100,000 traffic fatalities are caused by sleepy people behind the wheel.

24. The Einstein Method
If you are concerned about sleeping too long, do what Albert Einstein regularly did: hold a pencil while you’re drifting off, so when you fall asleep, the pencil dropping will wake you up. (We do not guarantee you will wake up with a 180 IQ.)

25. Missing sleep is worse at your age
For people ages 18 to 24, sleep deprivation impairs performance more significantly than in other age brackets

“How to talk to your daughter about her body,
step one: don’t talk to your daughter about her body, except to teach her how it works.

Don’t say anything if she’s lost weight.
Don’t say anything if she’s gained weight.
If you think your daughter’s body looks amazing, don’t say that.

Here are some things you can say instead:
“You look so healthy!” is a great one.
Or how about, “you’re looking so strong.”
“I can see how happy you are – you’re glowing.”

Better yet, compliment her on something that has nothing to do with her body.
Don’t comment on other women’s bodies either.
Nope. Not a single comment, not a nice one or a mean one.
Teach her about kindness towards others, but also kindness towards yourself.
Don’t you dare talk about how much you hate your body in front of your daughter, or talk about your new diet.
In fact, don’t go on a diet in front of your daughter. Buy healthy food. Cook healthy meals.
But don’t say “I’m not eating carbs right now.” Your daughter should never think that carbs are evil, because shame over what you eat only leads to shame about yourself.

Encourage your daughter to run because it makes her feel less stressed.
Encourage your daughter to climb mountains because there is nowhere better to explore your spirituality than the peak of the universe.
Encourage your daughter to surf, or rock climb, or mountain bike because it scares her and that’s a good thing sometimes.
Help your daughter love soccer or rowing or hockey because sports make her a better leader and a more confident woman.
Explain that no matter how old you get, you’ll never stop needing good teamwork.
Never make her play a sport she isn’t absolutely in love with.

Prove to your daughter that women don’t need men to move their furniture.
Teach your daughter how to cook kale.
Teach your daughter how to bake chocolate cake made with six sticks of butter.
Pass on your own mom’s recipe for Christmas morning coffee cake.
Pass on your love of being outside.
Maybe you and your daughter both have thick thighs or wide ribcages.
It’s easy to hate these non-size zero body parts. Don’t.
Tell your daughter that with her legs she can run a marathon if she wants to, and her ribcage is nothing but a carrying case for strong lungs.
She can scream and she can sing and she can lift up the world, if she wants.

Remind your daughter that the best thing she can do with her body is to use it to mobilize her beautiful soul.”

Sorry I have nowhere else to post this!
But this is actually really good advice, which is why I'm putting it here as a NTS :)
For when I get my own children HAHAHAHAHAHAHA



Pain. Plus Doctor Who!

The scary thing about dating is that 
you are either going to 
marry that person
 or 
break up.

I guess this sums it up perfectly
Emotions are very scary!
Becoming too emotionally invested in someone can leave scars.
LIKE STICK AND POKE TATTOOS!!!
WHAT EVEN MAN
Okay i sound like a narrow minded hater here but why would you want to poke yourselves with needles to create a tattoo??
That is permanent???
I mean what if you mess up
Oh gosh what if you start bleeding
Eep i think i just can't take the pain of self-harm argh.
MY DEAR FRIENDS:
If any one of you feel like self-harming, please try to suppress the urge!
Talk to someone.
Take a cold shower.
Put a rubberband around the area.
I know i'm not the best person to talk to since i don't feel this way, but i'm always open to talks <3
Yes anyway i feel that if you want a tattoo you might as well get it done at an expert salon by the professionals.
And yeah!
The 12th Doctor is Peter Capaldi!
Apparently he's a life long fan like the 10th (David Tennant)
So i suppose everything will work out dandy.

Worthless

tw: rant and useless rambling

Sometimes, I just feel like a pile of sludge.

Like the world's most useless thing you could think of.
Probably the polar opposite of a loaf of sliced bread?

I just
Find myself having a load of flaws, y'know?
I might as well list them down.
1) I have absolutely zero self-discipline. This is the number one cause of all my other problems.
2) I'm selfish. Human nature, some might say, but I believe in being selfless :(
3) I can't balance my time.
4) I'm insecure. About friends. Wow.
5) I thrive on social contact, yet I don't want too much noise or partying. Wat even.
6) I'm fat! And this is because I don't have to discipline to diet, nor eat clean.
7) I don't do homework. Surprise!!!

Stupid self-discipline.
Why don't I have any?
I feel that people with self-discipline can generally succeed better at life.
They can complete their assignments with ease, carry themselves better and just
BE AWESOME.

I can never sit down and do something for hours on end, unless it involves gaming or drawing or pets.
UGH
If one day I can get a relaxing job that involves all 3, I might become the next Bill Gates.
But for now, it's killing me and the increasing pile of homework I have.

In classes, I can just stare at the lecturers and the tutors and the papers
And just think
DAFUQ ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
This can't be good.

What if I could be purged?
Just rid of all this
Starting anew

Especially my body.
I just wish there was a human sized version of an apple corer...
Just have to slice away all the excess fats and tadaa! New improved body image.
It's not like you'll become extremely skinny, but it's the fact that the fats can be lost that easily.

purge
/pərj/
Verb
Rid (someone) of an unwanted feeling, memory, or condition, typically giving a sense of cathartic release.
Noun
An abrupt or violent removal of a group of people from an organization or place: "the Stalinist purges".
Synonyms

noun.   purification - cleaning - purgative - purgation


If I could just disappear
Without a trace
Abruptly
EVANESCENCE

Imagine this: a big, human sized ball of atoms just rapidly shrinking
Shrinking
And shrinking
Till it disappears in a flash of light
To go where?
A new world,
A parallel world

Different me,
Perfect me,
With no flaws.
But the same friends...

Life would be much better, I suppose.
No fats
No exclusion
No mindset to be selfish

I find myself jumping to conclusions very easily
Assuming that people don't want to talk to me
So I get left-out vibes very easily.
But then I feel loved very easily too
Is it not a win-win/lose-lose situation?

It is tough to be someone's priority.
I THINK I am someone's priority...
At least, #2 in their lives?
And it goes without saying that my family places my wellbeing first too.
It feels nice.

To be selfish here is easy.
But I have to make sure I reciprocate that sense of being wanted, being important as well!

Tumblr is a soul-sucking website
I have surrendered all my time to it
I was supposed to clean my desk, do my laundry, pack my school bag, and attempt to do homework, but
NOPE
here comes tumblr to muck everything up!

On the semi plus side I managed to crap out this piece.

When someone vents to you,
Written at Sunday, August 04, 2013

and you’re left speechless. You want to be able to say something to make them feel better, but you can’t think of anything. All you can do is try to respond with something but then it seems like you don’t care. It sucks when someone is pouring their heart out to you, and you can’t do anything to fix it.

So true...
I am horrible at giving advice LOL
