from me to you
Hey there!
Welcome to the tiny place in cyberspace of a girl who blogs her blues away. And well, maybe out of boredom as well.
How on earth you found your way here may be intentional or completely random, but you're welcome to look around either way.
The navigations are on the ribbon. Just click on them to get around the page. Please do leave me a message on my tagboard so that I know you dropped by.
Thanks and enjoy! :)

the wallflower
Wallflower (wall·flow·er)
Definition
- One who does not participate in the activity at a social event because of shyness or unpopularity.
- A lady at a ball, who, either from choice, or because not asked to dance, remains a spectator.
As the term suggests, I shy away from a lot of things, parties and balls/dances being top 1 and top 2 respectively.
I'm a small girl you won't probably notice in a crowd. On top of that, I'm a natural klutz, the holder of a seemingly record-breaking list of misplaced items, an amateur anything, and an over-thinker who oftentimes lets her head rule her heart.
I'm still normal okay, don't get me wrong. haha... I'm a kid at heart who is easily pleased with simple things. One who carries a pinch of optimism, a tinkling of charm, and loads of laughs. I'm still trying to find my place in this vast expanse, but I'm having tons of fun along the way.
I'll find that light someday, I'm sure! But for now, I'll slow things down a bit and enjoy the ride.
My life's not the most spectacular thing that you'll come across, but it's worth a look :)

ACTING is very different from REACTING. The dictionary defines acting as "false behavior; pretense", while it defines reacting as " a response to some foregoing action or stimulus".
Personally, I think that reacting has traces on genuineness in it, whereas acting may have none. When caught off guard, people's reactions give away their true emotions or thoughts; maybe even clues to some big secret they're hiding. When one acts, however, the brain takes over and there is a filtering of actions. the In simpler terms, you think when you act, but don't think when you react. This is where the slight overlap between acting and reacting comes in - a person chooses how to react to a particular situation. For example, if a happy Broadway actress is given a melancholic scene, she controls her actions and reactions based on what her character calls for in a particular scene. Ordinary people, on the other hand, merely react; oftentimes very carelessly and impulsively.
When crushes are involved, a girl should work on acting if she doesn't want to be so obvious. Instead of just reacting towards teasing and hot seat questions. "Act normally around your crush", they say, and they used the word "act" correctly since acting usually conveys an opposite reaction to one's current state. I mean, how the heck are you supposed to hide that you like someone without acting when you feel all giddy and gay inside? Act then. Act normally.
As for me, I should probably work on my acting so that my reactions won't give me away all the time. I suck at that. A lot. If I had had gotten my acting right a little earlier, my guts wouldn't be curled up in embarrassment like they are now :| Labels: oh noes, the crush files
