British Council

17 June, 2013

Remember I mentioned about the Inspire Scholarship I won? Okay, I'll just explain briefly now. Last year around August, I submitted an essay to the British Council and ended up winning! Awesome right?! Anyways, my prize was a 2 week scholarship to Cardiff Sixth Form College scheduled in Summer 2013. And as you can see from the date above, it is now Summer 2013. But. But I havent recived a confirmation from the British Council yet. All they have done is reassure me when I call them that, 'Yes, we will get back to you' or 'It will happen sometime in August'. It is annoying as hell because A) I need to plan out my Summer schedule. If this isn't happening I can make other arangments. B) I really want to go.

The main issue however is that I've already told people about it and I'm afraid I will loose face. Immature much?! I know.

So, the point of this post is that I am pissed of at the British Council. What makes matter worse is that since last year, there have been 4 replacements of the person in charge of the Inspire Scholarship. Everytime you talk to a new person, you have to start all over again.

I really hope this happens sometime in August. I shall visualize it. Laughs. No, seriously, I shall.

Will be back soon,

My lip is SWOLEN!

12 June, 2013

Okay. So I woke up early this morning as I'm traveling to Phnom Penh, Cambodia today. I went to the toilet, looked in the mirror, and boom: what do I see ? A SWOLEN LIP. I am not kidding right now. It's literally swollen and I feel like the worlds biggest idiot sitting here at the gate of Bangkok Airways. For memories sake, it's D5. 

Anyways, this isn't the first time this has happened. I remember a few years back, I think 5, my lips were swollen overnight in Chiangmai. It was because I was bitten by some insect and subsided in a while.The one I have now isn't as bad but I'm still upset about it.

I've tried ice, balm, and what not but nothing seems to work. I plan on taking an anti-allergy pill as soon as I have drinking water. And you know what they say: time heals all.

Let's hope that it gets better during the 1 hour ish flight though because :

A) I want to look nice in photos 

B) I don't want to meet my moms customers/clients/colleagues/ who-ever-the-hell-she-meets like this

C) I want to look like a sane person and I'm afraid that's not possible with retarded lips

Please universe. 

Will be back soon,

Don't be too quick to judge!

June 2nd, 2013

Hello guys. So today I was with my family at this outdoor community mall kind of thing, and guess what? I met a long lost friend of mine! Laughs. Okay, maybe that's just an exaggeration. But it has been a year, exactly a year, since I met her. It wasn't planned as we just kind of bumped into each other.

Anyways, the point of this post will soon be clear. At first, I honestly thought she had changed and no longer wanted to associate with me- or something along those lines. When I met her though, she talked nicely to me and it was so great to catch up. This made me realize that sometimes we are too soon to judge people when the truth is they are not at all the way they seem.

Will be back soon,
S.
