Tale of a pencil and eraser.

I stumbled upon this today;

Pencil: I'm sorry

Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.

Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you throughout your life. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

They said parents are like an eraser while the children are the pencil.

When we make mistakes, they try to clean up the mistakes and along the way, as they get older, they get hurt, and become smaller.

It might be true but still, the metaphor is incomparable.

Sure, parents do clean up some mistakes that we did but sometimes as we get older, they choose to let us clean up the mess we make ourselves 'cos that is how we learn life, unlike the eraser that able to rubbed off every single mistake made by the pencil. And unlike pencil , mistakes we make have their consequences and sometimes, no matter how hard we rubbed it off, or cleaned it up with/without parents or others help, it's just never go away.

Sometimes what left is us, the mistakes and the regrets. And sometimes all we can do is to move on. Plus, we do replace eraser but we don't replace parents. =P

Gosick.

I watched this till the end today, and the ending? *thumbsup* ngehehe. Bittersweet-end-are-the-best. I mean its hard to find anime with good ending, heck! most anime don't have any ending. You wanna know the end go google the manga, and that only happen if the manga have been published 7-9 years ago. Less than that? End? Haaaaa? Apekahitu ? Owh.Ireallyreallyliketheending.>.<

300, Resolutions

I'm not the kind of person who actually made resolutions for new year. I mean sure I'll have this desire to be more this and less that, but overall I still am the same as I am on 1 Jan as I am on 31 Dec. So, it is also the same on this 2011/2012. I'll still wake up tomorrow morning *if I do wake up* , bathing and preparing to go to the morning lecture, then I'll listen for half an hour before I start wandering around in my mind or trying to make sure my eyes are still open. I'll still busying myself with lab and practicals, and I definitely will still be worrying about how to finished all the lecture notes. I mean I was in this phase for 1 and half year, and I'll be in this state for months more. It ain't go away or be different. Not until the pro exam. New year = New me Who am I kidding? I will be the same Loving the same boy who doesn't love me back. Doing the same mistake over and over again. And still hoping for a good year. -makemestfu- So? Will my ...

for all seasons, there are reasons.

One time, I was in my backyard talking to a man who was helping me with my landscaping. It was the middle of winter and the grass was very brown. It looked as if it was totally dead. I commented to the man about how bad the grass looked and how dead it was. He said, "Well, Feriel, it doesn't look very good now but the truth is the grass is not dead, it's just not in season. In the springtime, this same grass will be just as lush and green as it can be." Sure enough, just a few months later that same brown, dry grass was a gorgeous bright green, filled with life and vitality. I've found that life works the same way. Sometimes our circumstances look dead. It may look like a dream is dead, a relationship is dead, or a promise is dead. But you have to realize it may just be that it's not in season. It may be that it'll come back around in a new season. We can't give up just because things don't look the way we want them to in the season we are in. We ...
