Well it's a lovely day in New Zealand- good to be back. I've had an eye appointment this morning for a small cyst that's been on my eyelid forever now and finally i'm getting it cut out coming Monday. Finally. can't wait. It's so annoying how they get bigger when you haven't slept well etc. will be a bit of a pain getting pricked on my delicate eyelid but at least it'll be gone in a few days.
Everyone (i guess) is at Big Day out, which is the biggest music event. You can check it out here: http://www.bigdayout.com/ But i'm at home watching movies and playing games :D Hostage was a great movie! and puzzle bubble is always fun :)
Update will be posted on Monday i suppose to tell you all how much it did/didn't hurt.

I am here
I am here
to hear about your day
for you to say 'hey'
I am here
to see your pretty smile
that always makes me fuzzy inside
don't you know i pray about you sometimes
to wish you a happy day for the long night ahead where i am
I am here
even though it's raining outside
i never let it creep inside me
because with you on my mind
my heart will remain fuzzy like spring

The Great Debaters
Just having a quiet Sunday, with Hind (my new flatmate) gone to Bologna for the weekend, I remembered she transferred me a movie called “The Great Debaters” last week. I thought of her and decided to watch it (aww). From the good ol’ harpo productions (Oprah backwards for those who didn’t know) with Denzel Washington as the director- this film was great!!!! Based on a true story about 3 college students at Wiley Texas, the film shows how they become to defeat Harvard, followed by a further 10 years of remaining an undefeated team. Reminded me of my debating days in intermediate & high school though the subject was not as heart-pounding (i.e. real) as those issues of racism and the true embarrassment of the face of the world created by human society as the movie showed. Anyway, the reason why I wanted to write about this film was so I could write down a memorable quote from the movie:
“We do what we have to do…so we could do what we want to do”
It got me to think…how many years do I have to live in this world? And of those years, what is the most important and investing thing I will have done? And what do I have to pass on to the world?
The last 2 questions go hand-in-hand. If I’m investing on something in this life for a long time, naturally this thing will be what I will pass on to the world? Anyway not to think too complicatedly, I know FOR SURE that in order to get anywhere past this year, I have to finish my thesis J and that’s just what I’ll do…and in the meantime, I hope you too can realise there are many things in life we just have to do…in order to do what we truly want to do.
That’s psychologically good enough for my noggin =)

Point of View
Shuffling:
I shuffle over to the other side of my bed at dawn trying to close the small gap between the heavy curtains,
before the light gets the best of me-
before it prevents me from enjoying the last hour of sleep
I dream not only of seeing the light, but having enough light to warm my body,
to be able to lie under it in my underwear,
it is so cold and dank inside here
Rain:
Walking through the rain, it's so heavy it's started to seep through,
following the metal lining of my umbrella i can feel a drop on my head following my hair
it's annoying
I want to feel the rain,
to walk through it-
unable to get outside, i press my head against the cold cement wall
trying to smell, to feel, to even only imagine
the slightest of rain diffusing through the wall
If i could feel one blade of grass,
if i could wake up disturbed by the sound of a crying baby,
if i could be late to work because of the cranky bus driver,
if i could tell the world what it's like to be kept inside
i would start by saying: "what if you could never..."
then you'd see their somewhat sad faces, gazing down on you
as if to say sorry
but as soon as they turn their backs on you and continue carrying on with their lives
they quickly forget the different point of view
between the rain seeping through their umbrella
and me
trying to feel the rain through these square walls
and the only rain felt is down my cheeks in the middle of the night in my bed

Well it's been raining in Trento for awhile now, lovely if you are inside, ugly if you have to walk around. It's all about the balance!
I've just taken 2 chocolates and a coffee...approx 1 hour before having lunch! I'm such a pig.
And for the record...it'll be midnight in about 1hour in NZ which means 1 month before 6 years anniversary!
Almost there...
This long distance relationship is so hectic.
I've seen so many married couples in San Bartolomeo where one partner is in her/his home country with their children! heck, one hasn't even seen his recently-born daughter yet! It's so crazy. If i were them i couldn't have a long distance marriage relationship with the kids involved? I guess you never know until you're in it for real though. Maybe it works out just fine...But anyway, enough blabbing =)
Happy 5/11 anniversary to me & dave (x)
