Public Speaking

I’m preparing for this public speaking competition where you have to do a 5 minute speech and answer impromptu questions. My english HOD gave me previous impromptu questions to look over. Most of them I have no idea about, I have a lot of research to do. One question made me laugh;

Question: If you were to have dinner with one famous Australian, who would it be and why?

My answer: Err, Simon Baker because he’s hot (but I don’t think that’s the answer they’re looking for)

Hehe. Well I’m really excited to go through this experience ^^

Change is Scary

It’s like going into a new world and not knowing anything or anyone at all. Even if the change is for the better, it’s still frightening!

I was hanging out with my (pretty much) little brother today and I just came to realise that he had changed so much. He was becoming a man right before my eyes and it was scary. I know it’s for the better. Everyone has to grow, but it just felt like everything was unfamiliar, like I’d been thrown into unknown territory.

Also, close friends of mine are changing into different people that I once knew them to be, this is also unsettling. Again, I know these changes are for the better, doesn’t mean it’s not scary. I get this heavy discontentment within me nowadays and it just feels so unfamiliar. Unfamiliar is the best word to describe where I’m currently at. It’s like God’s subtly stripping away all the things I’ve once relied on to bring a change in me.

I’m used to just ‘going through the motions’ from saturday to thursday. I’m used to just ‘getting through the week’ with a cynical mindset. To sink into the comfort of depression and can’t-be-botheredness feels just like home, to the point where when I go to church on friday and feel the uplifting energy exuberating from almost everyone, I think, “What a life of joy I’m missing out on”.

Another reason why I get jibbers at the thought of embracing change wholeheartedly is the thought that change can be quite lonely. Change is unfamiliar territory, I don’t have security in change. I don’t have anything to hide behind. Though, when I feel I’m in unfamiliar territory, God seems so familiar and ever-present. Change doesn’t seem so daunting after all.

Love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Daddy’s Rules for Dating
10 simple rules for dating my daughter

Rule #1
If you pull into my driveway and honk you’d better be delivering a
package, because you’re sure not picking anything up.

Rule #2
Do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so
long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot
keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter’s body, I will remove them.

Rule #3
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to
wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off
their hips. Please don’t take this as an insult, but you and all of
your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open
minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise. You may come
to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too
big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your
clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with
my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your
trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule #4
I’m sure you’ve been told that in today’s world, sex without
utilizing a ‘Barrier method’ of some kind can kill you. Let me
elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill
you.

Rule #5
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each
other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the
day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you
is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back
at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject
is: ‘early.’

Rule #6
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to
date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my
daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you
will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you.
If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule #7
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear,
and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want
to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter
is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than
painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why
don’t you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule #8
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my
daughter. Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer
than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where
there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the
ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear
shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls,
a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her throat. Movies
with a strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided. Movies
which feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old-folks
homes are better.

Rule #9
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-
aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I
am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you
where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun,
a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule #10
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake
the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a
rice paddy near Hanoi . When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the
voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for
you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway
you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the
perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought
my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car – there is
no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window
is mine.

Something Special

There’s something special about each and every person. Why else would God have created you?

(lol @ the random pretty photo ^^)

Robert Pattinson

I don’t get it. What’s with the obsession? I mean he’s okay looking and he seems nice enough, but screaming like a lunatic, really? Does he really meet that criteria?

I swear if he didn’t play Edward Cullen, no girl would take a second look at him. Okay that’s mean. Not as many girls would. And he smokes! Ew smoke breath, girls! (and some boys). I also heard he doesn’t wash his hair for like weeks in a row! ewwwwiiiieeeee.

I was talking to my friend about him, as you do, and I believe what she said sums up everything I have just stated – “Robert Pattinson is an offense to Edward Cullen!” (Or something along those lines)

But if that’s your thing. Then, no judgement. Just stating my opinion on this very important subject.
