wild salad

The dreary mist surrounding my soul lifts leaving me to feel new; relieved.

The hours of contemplation left behind like dust under a horse's shoe; unwanted.

The joyous song that sings in my heart I wish for u to hear; amusing.

The right which evolved from wrong I thought again to be wrong, now does a turn turning out to be right after all; confusing!

Human

What makes us human?
That we can think?
That we can feel sorrow and pain?
Maybe that we can laugh?

No..
It’s cause we can love till our heart bleeds..
Till we can't give anymore of ourselves..
Till it hurts too much you can't breathe..
Till you've shed so many tears u can't cry anymore..

And that..that's what makes us human.

little matters of three/four weeks

I’ve been feeling completely lazy and I’m lagging behind in new posts. I’ve been busy too, to save my face! Well, nu Hmingi (mom’s best friend) and pa Will (her husband) came to Aizawl (my city) for a visit. We hardly get to see them with their living in the States. They stayed for a week...an incredibly busy yet awesome week :D

Look at the two of them all smiles at the top of Reiek Tlang or Mount Reiek (mom with glasses) :

And with dad & pa Will:

They got the Texas cowboy hat on dad’s head just for him...hmph! Yes yes, they live in Houston.

I really miss them right now…

After they left, a family relative passed away for whom a funeral had to be held. And followed immediately by my aunt’s family coming for a visit. They live in Lunglei which is another city. Their little daughter, Sarah, is shooo cute……*chuckles*

Aaaaaanyway, in the midst of all these, I got a lot going on in my own world too…like…ummm…reading books, helping my sis with her college application work, doing my own university application work, devouring more books, facebooking, cooking with mom and nu Hmingi (before she left), watching The Big Bang Theory marathon, catching the latest movies, more books, etc. So yeah, I had my hands full ~_~

Me getting comical in cowboy boots twice too large for my size :P

Alone

Today I discovered a beautiful place;
A stream merrily flowing with breezes plenty,
Grasses so green and flowers in bloom,
Water so fresh and warm sunny skies.
I immediately fell for such a place so lovely.
I thought of you imagined you with me-
I realised you weren’t by my side.
I so wished I could share that moment with you,
But you weren’t by my side.
So I stood alone, I was alone,
I was so alone.

jungle bells, jungle bells!

With Christmas just 'round the corner, I decided to sort out my music picking out the Christmas songs, renaming those required, putting them in separate folders, etc. There were so many songs!! It was monotonous and hard work to sort them all out.

While I was renaming the ‘Jingle Bells’ song, I accidentally typed ‘Jungle Bells’ and left them like that. I found out my error only the next day when I rechecked the files I’d finished.

This got me thinking. What would’ve happened if James Lord Pierpont (the composer of Jingle Bells), while writing down his composition and title, accidentally wrote ‘Jungle Bells’ like I did?? Haha! We’d be singing ‘Jungle bells, jungle bells, jungle all the way……….’ I know I’m letting my imagination go wild but hey, think about it, it would really be a laugh :D

So anyway, I’m very much looking forward to the holiday seasons. Winter is my favourite time of the year, though my hands can never get warm (probably lack of self-heating elements in my body!) And Christmas is so much fun with family; huddled together around a bonfire in our backyard with a roasting chicken slowly rotating on top of the flames…mmmmm…chilly weather but warm hearts :)
