"Wednesday, makes us work,
as it's a weekday...
We toil, slog, and suffer it all,
and through our actions we pay..."

Dearest,
Today is the 20th of October the year Two-Thousand and Ten A.D., the 12th of Dhul-Qada 1431 in the Islamic calendar, the 12th ofHeshvan, 5771 in the Jewish calendar, 28 Mehr, 1289 in the Persian calendar and the 7th of Kartik, 1417 in the Bengali calendar.

Funny, whenever I state the Bengali date, I feel nostalgic, thinking about the date as it used to be stated in the radio, when my Grampa used to turn it on early in the morning at dawn.
Alas, all those days are gone, and all that is left is your persistence and being with me.
I feel sad nowadays, can't place the reason on anything particular, just a blank sadness you suffer within. After all there is absolutely no reason for me to be sad. It's a confusing notion.
But my confusions will soon be erased because I have three midterm exams next week. Two on one day and another on a Saturday. I'm hoping to earn all As this term, if not better grades than the past few semesters. They've been a real pain. This semester is going much to my liking, as I have only three major courses left. I have more courses outside my major than the major itself. Those courses are all 100 level, so they're a breeze! :) Well at least I hope them to be, so I can improve my CGPA.

The world's become more selfish, and I have to change with it too. These days I don't care much about what others are doing, as long as they keep their distance from me. I really can't care much or hear about their ranting problems. The world is full of troubles, ♥, I don't understand why. Is it all our making? Or a test of faith?

I do hope it is the latter, because I know there is hope in faith, and can bear any suffering instilled so. But if it is our own making, Allah have mercy on us. :(

I don't like to end with a sad note dearest, but today I'm not very thrilled about anything.

Till next time.

The difference between life and death lies in the eating... Dearest... I wondered how I'd do Without you at my side, I wondered what I'd do With nowhere left to hide. I wondered what I'd do When I saw your face up there, I wondered what I'd do When I don't see you anywhere. I wondered how I'd do Facing up to the truth right now, I wondered how I'd do Looking at your pity somehow. I wondered what I'd do When I saw you not tonight, I wondered what I'd do When the crow calls in the light. I wondered how I'd do When you replied so scornfully I wondered what I'd do If replied so, equally. I wondered how I'd do Because I know you don't understand, I wondered what I'd do When I cry on the bleeding sand. I wondered what I'd do For you don't regret at all, I wondered as you stood Gazing dimly at my fall. Sleep well dearest.

Psyche - Layer 05

"We go down, we do time, We rise up, to fall in line, Real racers don't shed tears, Real racers respect their peers..." Dearest, I just finished watching Fast and Furious. Was it good? It was unbelievable! And to think Vin Diesel produced it! Man is he loaded! ;P The storyline was fantastic, the action was ridiculous and the one-liners were corny. It was a good movie although rottentomatoes gave it a rotten 28% saying, "While Fast and Furious features the requisite action and stunts, the filmmakers have failed to provide a competent story or compelling characters." The story was the only thing I found to be competent, call me whacko. :P I'm a big racing game fan, so I like watching these 'cheesey' movies. My psyche regarding games and movies is more closely 'attached', if that's one way of putting it. I woke up to find mom watching HBO, and it was airing The Making of Fast and Furious . I watched through it, but little did I know ...
