Day 88 - go cal


I had a rly weird & funny highlight today :]

So on my way back from my j100 unit test as i crossed pple's park, this random hobo looks up at my 'still no stanfurdium' shirt, glances up at me and says "GO CAL!! good luck, ok?? GOOD LUCK!"

Hahah now that rly took me by surprise & lifted my spirits up x]

But most importantly, challenged it made me reflect on how to treat friends and acquaintances and strangers on daily basis: do i smile and say hi, too? do i frown and pretend to be cool? or look at my pacing feet and avoid pple's looks?

O and there was the mission nights sharing too. That was pretty awesome. I was rly encouraged by different testimonies, particularly the truthfulness of the last one - how unrealistic expectations lead to frustration, but changing their perspective and focus led them to a metamorphosis...

Well i think these days i've been writing too long... so imma just cut my blog short here. hahh o sorry one last thing, the pic was taken at the church nearby my apt x] i'd rly like to thank my anonymous student model there, except i have no idea who that is xD

So true! "Unrealistic expectations lead to frustration!" Gosh I wish I had heard that worded in that way sooner. And haha I know what you mean; I have this daily dilemma of whether I should keep my head high while I'm walking down the streets with the "I'm so cool...I'm too good for the world" look haha or the "I'm so pitiful" look. All right it's probably not that extreme but I do debate whether I should look people in the eye and smile or just look down at my feet all the time while I'm passing people on the street. Aishhhh
