and bang! she's suddenly a big girl!

I'm going to finish 21 years on this earth on the 4th of March 2013. 

There I've said it.

 This girl is not ashamed, maybe slightly because I doubt I've done anything very worthwhile in these very long years that seem like yesterday.

I'd like to list 21 things I have accomplished this year, namely my 21st year.

Not in any particular order of importance:

1. I have a blog that im proud of. i have a blog. i HAVE a BLOG!

2. I've learnt to drive.

3. I have designed a Magazine Cover (am in the process of designing another.)

4. i've gone on tour, found that i should travel more. its good for my heart.

5. I can fit into a pair of size 26 jeans (not an accomplishment)

6. I have the best friends in the world! (true story)

7. I've danced in the rain and watched a sunrise. God still loves the world! :) He tells me everyday1

8. I've written a story I'm proud of - its called 'of friends and faultless mice'

9. I've taught catechism to lil' kids

10. I've worn a sari in public - twice (and danced)

11. I've listened to the waves talk to me, i've learnt that the sound of the sea can calm me.

12. I've learnt that a real woman does not waste time on drama, my time is too precious to be wasted on such things.

13. I've sent a message on the wind. prayer works. always.

14. I've discovered i can write poetry( gosh andrea, anyone can rhyme)

15. i've learnt to be best friends with my sister - she is the most beautiful, most talented person i know. and if she's angry with me, its probably my fault.

16. I'm comfortable in my own skin - no one else can be a better me.

17. i've learnt to follow the motto -'if it is to be, it is upto me'

18. i've learnt to follow my heart. and wear it on my sleeve.

19. i've learnt to live for the moment, choosing what is right and good, even though it may be hard (i've still to stop trying to do things only if they're socially acceptable)

20. i've learnt to remind myself that i should thank GOD IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES. 

21. I've learned to love who i am, 
charms, defects and all, 

because that is how He made me :)

its my badge that says >> 

God's Kid, 

Destined for Greatness!

friends & fish

It makes me sad to think 

that i'd readily give an eye,

to those who today seemed like they'd never blink,

when i looked like i might cry.

I think its just my messed up head, 

thats thinking a bit too deep,

into things that arent worth to be said, 

and they're best worked out in my sleep

So for today i wont pull out the long face,

today i will not whine.

As i always do, today alone ill brace

those lonely fears of mine.

Square one - a new beginning

Its been a long long time.

 Life has sped seriously sped on so so fast. 

The last time I wrote here, I was rambling on about math and things I wanted. 

And between this and that, there has been a lot going on. 

I wont try to fake it. 

This isn't some fancy blog, where everyone's waiting to hear from me or

 neither am I full of angst and unshed tears of repressed teenage emotions that I need to pour out for the world wide web to read. 

Oh yea, this year, 2013 has made me a lot more cynical, hasnt it?

I have come long way, and suddenly today I thought fondly of this dear old scribble place I once was so excited about. 

6 wrong passwords and a password reset later, 

here I am(with the knowledge that gmail is so easy to hack) to tell you about things I may or may not have poured out to any random one of those I call my friends, 

or have penned done in a letter or that lil' black book everyone is getting suspicious about.

For one, I have been making lists. A lot of lists. Music I love. Words. Things to Do. Places to visit. The qualities of the ideal person. Sigh. 

And another thing, its close to my birthday again. Ah the pressure. I'll be making another list - Things I have accomplished, I wont try to count but I hope its worthwhile list that I can be proud of.

Enough for now. I have a pharmacology test tomorrow, and I need to study. Will be back when I'm free again. :)
