at the moment im typing with my eyes half closed coz im having conjuctivitis erythema, sneezing every 10minutes (seeing as it is, i know it's gonna be a paroxysmal one!), complete with nasal obstruction and i swear to god the palate of my throat is so damn itchy like hell! all thanks to the brand new tables in my room!
of coz i was damn happy when i saw it at first, but now, seeing that those bloody allergens (who knows what chemical they use to paint those tables) has been reacting happily with my IgE and causing massive production of histamines and the gang that in the end cause me a blardy ALLERGIC RHINITIS! damn!
ah well, im gonna continue with my notes now. got exam on friday! haih....not to mention that this morning was the 'first' day of my new semester...hehe...other people starts on monday but I, the self-proclaim VVIP starts on wednesday.....i can imagine my mama singing praises to me ;)
okayla, will be updating on my new room and my first week of the semester over the weekend. at least there's something to do this weekend...chioz!

true love by Wislawa Szymborska
True love. Is it normal
is it serious, is it practical?
What does the world get from two people
who exist in a world of their own?
Placed on the same pedestal for no good reason,
drawn randomly from millions but convinced
it had to happen this way - in reward for what?
For nothing.
The light descends from nowhere.
Why on these two and not on others?
Doesn't this outrage justice? Yes it does.
Doesn't it disrupt our painstakingly erected principles,
and cast the moral from the peak? Yes on both accounts.
Look at the happy couple.
Couldn't they at least try to hide it,
fake a little depression for their friends' sake?
Listen to them laughing – it’s an insult.
The language they use - deceptively clear.
And their little celebrations, rituals,
the elaborate mutual routines -
it's obviously a plot behind the human race's back!
It's hard even to guess how far things might go
if people start to follow their example.
What could religion and poetry count on?
What would be remembered? What renounced?
Who'd want to stay within bounds?
True love. Is it really necessary?
Tact and common sense tell us to pass over it in silence,
like a scandal in Life's highest circles.
Perfectly good children are born without its help.
It couldn't populate the planet in a million years,
it comes along so rarely.
Let the people who never find true love
keep saying that there's no such thing.
Their faith will make it easier for them to live and
die.
