Just-talking-out-loud

After such a long absent, I'm back. I've moved, unpacked, and organized a ton of papers. I think it's safe to say that I'm ready for a new term. Yesterday was the moving day here on campus. There were cars and people everywhere. You could feel the energy. It was fun to watch people trying to find their way around the campus. As I was walking by the bookstore on campus, I saw new freshmen with their parents waiting in the line to get their student ID. I thought of these students when they started the elementary school. The first day of school, they were accompanied by their parents. Now, 18 years later, they are coming to university and again they are with their parents. I thought that might be a good thing for parents to realize that no matter how old your kids are they always need you.

This is what I wrote when I was leaving Ottawa. Because I was very busy I did't have the time to edit it and post it. Since I really like to have here on my blog, I decided to post it now. I am saying good bye to the Rideua Canal which was my favourite spot in Ottawa. It was the most visited site by me. I biked, jugged, and took long walks there. I am saying goodbye to the Ottawa River, Ottawa Public Library, Tunney’s, ByWard Market, South Bank, Glibe, and Willington St. I am saying goodbye to the Parliament Hill where you can see the ocean from!! I am saying goodbye to all my noisy and disrespectful neighbours. Finally I am saying goodbye to the two best roommates I have ever had. I cherish all the laughter, shopping, and good times I had with them. Farewell Ottawa , it was an interesting summer.

By living with others, you get to know yourself better. I am who I am and I don't want to change some stuff about myself. I like myself for those qualities that some people think they can never find in others.

This is a cute animation by Louis Clichy and about love, life, and all its ups and downs. It reminded me of “You are not prefect; nor the person you are in love with. All it matters is that whether you are prefect for each other”. From Good Will Hunting A quoi ca sert, l’amour ? On raconte toujours Des histoires insensées A quoi ca sert d’aimer ? L’amour ne s’explique pas ! C’est une chose comme ca ! Qui vient on ne sait d’où Et vous prend tout à coup. Moi, j’ai entendu dire Que l’amour fait souffrir, Que l’amour fait pleurer, A quoi ca sert d’aimer ? L’amour, ca sert à quoi ? A nous donner d’la joie Avec des larmes aux yeux… C’est triste et merveilleux ! Pourtant on dit souvent Que l’amour est décevant Qu’il y a un sur deux Qui n’est jamais heureux… Meme quand on l’a perdu L’amour qu’on a connu Vous laisse un gout de miel - L’amour c’est éternel ! Tout ca c’est très joli, Mais quand tout est fini Il ne vous reste rien Qu’un immense chagrin… Tout ce qui maintenant Te semble déchirant ...
