s.o.s

can somebody PLEASE help me to slow down the time? geez it's just way too fast now. i just checked my calendar 'n it's already the 21st of march!!!! SHIT! feels like new year's eve is just yesterday.. and now?? damn it! i haven't done jack! somebody helpppp.... you know what? when i was small, my mom used to wish to have 36 hours in a day. everytime she said that i was just rolling my eyes and thought 'oh hell no! 1 minute is torture already... 1 day? 36 hours? i'm in hell!'... now?? i'm not wishing to have only 36 hours in a day... I NEED 48 HOURS!!!! argghhh...

mom, i'm sorry! i guess that's why you dumped me out to the land of nowhere-stillwater, OK, huh??? to hang out w/ those pigs 'n cows and the cowboyz... :D hey, it's not that i'm against OKie town, ok?? i had some of my best and worst time there. i met most of my best and craziest friends, wayyy too nosy people, had a car, knew the words 'love' and learnt all the necessary cuss words for the 1st time, started to figure out who i was, what i wanted, met more and more brown nosers and backstabbers, etc. there... it's just that stillwater, OK, painfully shattered all the images in my head about living in the US. born and raised in the capital city of 1 of the most populated country in the world that's always crowded, busy, humid and polluted (just imagine NYC times 50), i guess i was spoiled. the second i arrived in OK for the 1st time, i thought 'Jesus Christ! this must be a mistake! HUGE mistake!' but i guess not. i trapped there for a longgg time 'til finally i escaped to savannah, GA. ha ha ha... YUP! another southern city... but at least, and belive me on this 1, savannah is wayyyy much better than stillwater. try imagine this: in OK, for as long as i lived there, i'd never seen any bus or train. i saw a taxi or 2, but that might be once a year. other than that? NOTHING! no becak... no bajaj... no ojek... (you have no idea what i'm talking about? well, those are different types of transportation back home :)) only trucks and trucks and trucks and cows and horses. 1 1/2 hour drive from oklahoma city airport to stillwater felt as if you badly wanna pee, but the line is still extremely long. forever!!! as far as your eyes can see, everything was just flat....

what a memory...
but guess what... stillwater might be a tiny town surrounded by cows, horse and pig farms, and smelled like pig poops at nite... BUT the city is 'bigger' than san francisco ;) and the credit goes to every single person i've met there... it's definitely in the past now. looking back, i honestly feel grateful to get a chance to live there. the whole experience always keeps me grounded and reminds me to enjoy the city wherever i live in now... 'cuz trust me, from all the places i've ever lived, none of 'em can beat stillwater... and thank God for that! he he he...

now back to reality...
somebody... PLEASE STOP THE CLOCK!!!!

begin difficult things while they are easy.
do great things when they are small.
the difficult and great things must have once been small...
