Thursday 13th August

Been cycling, fishing, all sorts, brings to me the thought of a new life, to restart everything. But doesn't it all come at a cost? To forget everything in the past life where there have been moments deeply cherished, to me it's worth considering, to see if the negative outweight the positive.

This brings me to mind a problem I've been expecting for quite a while now - Where's the time? For so many years, I've managed to do what most people thought impossible, to schedule things so close together and still able to keep up with them all. I feel that I've been lazing around too much lately, I really have an entire year of work to catch up on by the exams, meaning I'm doing college in the space of 6 months rather than starting in Septmber.

I hate it when things go like this, to think to myself that I could handle it, but fail immediately and still not respond to it. I should start revising, there's much to learn...

Wednesday 12th August

It's been a while, sorry for the break off, there have been troubled times. That and the fact that the internet access here is so scarce. In Taiwan at the moment, trying to look brighter in front of people, which I have to say is surprising me, I didn't know I had such mental stamina.

Typhoon Morakot has tore through the island starting from the 9th until yesterday, now we have just the odd earthquake or two but they're no problem. To look on the bright side, I got my service hours by helping out those who lost their homes.

It really makes you think, to feel that you take things for granted, sure people say that quite a lot, and even this gets taken for granted, but this time I actually truly do mean how I feel about this.

To take things for granted, for me, the house isn't all for the moment...
