You know, when I was younger, I was so used to always being the top as far as academics go. Now that high school starts, I can recognize my duplicates and competition. I’m currently tied for 3rd. I started blaming it on limitations I couldn’t control (what is a reasonable assumption). Now I’m not sure anymore. Back then, academics was all I ever had to live up to. Now that it’s been taken away from me, what more can I make of my life?
Oh, this is going to be fun..

I thought I would be upset to realize that these are the last times I will see you. I can’t lie and say that for a moment I actually missed us. But then I thought, everything I miss didn’t even exist. My thoughts have been so sugar-coated that I almost forgot the last time we kissed, how hurtful…
Way to read my mind.
I apologize if it seems as if I’ve been hiding myself. I’ve been caught up with work. To head to work, we’d have to drive for an hour every day from our home. But to save gas money, we decided to rent a house near work. The boss owns it, and it’s $100 a month for rent. There’s no wifi there however, so I’m unable to post anything at all.
At work, there’s wifi, but I only use mobile up there, which is un-convenient to use when posting anything. So the only thing I do these days is just reblog things that pop up on my dash, or rather I just set it up in my queue. *Sigh*
Anonymous asked: how are you and your girlfriend? i hope you two are doing well :)
We’re doing well. She’s currently in Laos right now visiting her family for the summer. I, on the other hand am working for the summer. We do definitely miss each other.
There are things that do bother us, though. For example, the time change is huge; a whole 11 hours apart. I can’t call her anymore. We’re only able to communicate through wifi.
It does get quite lonely at times, especially late at night after coming home from work. I keep myself occupied playing expert levels of ‘Unblock Me’ (currently on 103), and watching ‘Avatar: the last airbender’ shows on Netflix (currently Season 2, Ep.3). I get loads of free time though. Glad I brought my weights. (:
She keeps me up to date on what goes on though. http://theadventuresofvincentandlinh.tumblr.com/#23730063566
We do argue a lot though from time to time. But we’re always able to accept it afterwards. It’s because of small things like that that makes the bonds between us stronger. Perhaps it sounds as if I’m exaggerating, but it does feel like with every passing day, the bond between us grows and gets stronger.
Not really sure the next time I’ll be able to see her again, but it’s almost our 4 months, and I’m glad we made it this far. It’s been one heck of an adventure, and I hope it keeps going.
African Stereotype of the Day: Gabriel, Benard, Brian, and Derrik, who live in Kenya, were inspired to poke fun at the way African men are portrayed by Hollywood: “If people believed only what they saw in movies,” they said, “they would think we are all warlords who love violence.” Mama Hope — an organization that partners with African organizations to help transform their communities — was more than happy to hand them a mic as part of a video campaign to “Stop the Pity, Unlock the Potential.”
Good stuff.
“we are even on de facebuk!”
