Rain Down

Hello there, Stranger!
Welcome to my humble little blog.

The name's Tammie, but friends call me Tam (not 'thumb').

Who am I, you ask?
I'm not that smart top-scorer girl in your class.
I'm not that pretty lass you always see on the streets either.
I am passionate, stubborn and emotional.
My absolute most favorite thing to do is hanging out with people I care & love.
My passion burns for Jesus & photography.
I wish to travel more and see more.

This blog was created so I get to jot down my feelings.
Happenings in life.
That is, if I'm not too lazy to update ;)

Guy-o-phobia

My friend, + ?, told me today, 'once you get a boyfriend, you'll know love is not all about enjoyment'

I agree with him.

I mean, I know relationships can get very messy and VERY complicated.

that's why I'm still not in a relationship yet.

I don't want to risk getting my heart broken over a jerk.

Well actually,the truth is, I have this fear of guys. boys-o-phobia?

ever since a bad experience years ago.

No! I was never harassed or assaulted.

Well, not in a I-can-sue-you-and-kick-you-to-prison-so-you'd-never-see-the-sunlight-ever-again kind anyway.

At 12, I was too young to know what love is. How would I know that it would be something sweet and lovely? He made me hate love.

I hated that guy. He was a stalker (stalking is considered a sort of harassment, isn't it?).

He made me hate going to school everyday. He made me prayed that no other guy would go after me. and dang, my prayers got answered. argh.

Anyway, I'm fine now. It all happened years ago, and I've grown up a lot since then.

I'm not as phobic of boys now.

Just scared of super scary guys who stalks people.

To be honest, I kind of like it that I was never in a serious relationship before.

It saves me a lot of unnecessary heartache and feelings for guys who are not worth my time.

BUT, I'm still waiting for The One to come along XP

Oh by the way, I CAN'T WAIT to go watch Ghosts of the Girlfriends Past. *hint hint*

English or Mandarin? :)

I was so bored today in class, I started passing note to my friend.

Conversation was as followed (that is if u can read what we wrote,lol):

she was talking so much with another friend, so I wrote to her:

--> 'talk more la,your dad & mum will be so disappointed in you'

--> 'you are weird today. and I'm very glad you choose to use Chinese. Also, I saw you were playing with a dictionary computer,so you're the same!'

--> 'Which part of me is weird??' *you read the rest of the english part.lol.*

--> 'You are a bad person. HaHa.'

Okay, so I am that bored. but I guess that's better then sleeping in class right?

or reading magazines. or talking about guys.

Speaking of guys, I kinda met a new guy that day.

Made me think a lot about him. Probably cause he started to talk to me first.

not only that, he spoke to me in English.

that proves he was listening to me, and realized I only choose to sing the english songs.

He could have just spoken to me in Mandarin, but he didn't!

I'm impressed. I'll keep him in thoughts. I hope he'll turn out ok..

I mean most of the guys I choose to talk about all turn out to be jerks.

Hoping i'll be able to talk to him next week too....

Quote of the day

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt

Man, I just love this quote. It's so comforting. A great reminder to myself everyday.

Translation:

You do not have to feel like you are a piece of junk just because others make you think so(subconsciously or not). No one has the right to make you feel that way but yourself.

That's just how I see the quote.

Get a life... please?

I opened the news paper today and guess what was on the entertainment page?

'Fan frenzy at Hannah Montana premiere as Miley Cyrus flashes her legs in a VERY short dress'

I LOL'd at the title. I mean, seriously, are we that short of things to publish?

Sure, it's the entertainment section, but what's with reporting about what she wore?

And the picture of her is going to do wonders in cutting down teenage anorexia cases in our country. Not to mention improve self-esteem of teen girls across the country.

With all due respect to all the Miley fans out there, I'm not attacking your idol. I'm just sick of all the unnecessary reports on celebrities on the media.

Seriously, I am not interested in what dress she wore and which part of her she wanted to show off. So why is it on the news? I've glanced through the article and there wasn't anything basically, except reporting the she steeped out of her limo and gave autographs,oh that's reallyinteresting.

Somebody save me.

Sometimes I just wished we could learn that celebrities are too, Homo sapiens. Like us. Just a little enhanced, by make up,designer labels and stylists.

Why can't we ever leave them alone?

We criticizes young celebrities for their bad behaviors, but are continuously seeking news about them.

I mean, Hello?We are encouraging them to want our attention.

Or am I the only one who realized this?

and we wonder what on earth made Britney Spears shaved her head and walked barefoot.

I don't need to know how many times a week Jessica Alba goes to the gym.

Or how much Paris Hilton spent in 2 hours of shopping.

Or what Kate Moss wore to a lunch date with friends.

Get a life.

We all need one.

One that doesn't include barging in other's, celebrities especially.

Baby Girl is 1 year older~

It's her birthday~!

I can't believe my wee little sista is already 7 years old.

A part of the selfish me don't want her to get older.

I don't want to see her growing more and more like an adult.

or behaving more and more like one.

I don't want her to face the hurts that she is going to face as she grows up.

I can't bare to see her fall down and stand up all by herself.

Honestly, I don't know if I'm being over protective or just plain paranoid.

I've always wanted a smaller sibling. and since my bro was born way before I learn that boys are stupid and damn irritating (no offense, but it's true!), Kevin doesn't really count.

So the next time I begged my mum for a little girl. And guess what? I got what I wanted. Lol.

Talk about being spoiled.

Another part of me wanted to see Rachel transform into a lovely lady.

I can't imagine how she would look like.

I wanted to see her in her prom dress.

I wish to be able to share secrets with her.

And give her advice on boys.

So far, she's been such a great gal. and an amazing sister.

Though she does have her fair share of annoying me.

I still love her. And I can't are the idea that one day she might be taken away from me, no matter how annoying or a sour puss she is now. Sometimes I feel like I would die for her.

So, this is for you, my adorable,lovable,cute-to-death,sometimes-I-just-wish-you-can-shut-up sister!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,RACHEL!

XOXO Cheers!

Maiden Post (my first post--wee~)

So Jocelyn finally succeeded in getting me to blog here.

she was asking 'ming ai,why don't u blog anymore?'

me: 'lazy lar..plus,there's nothing much to blog about anymore.My life is dead boring.'

Jocelyn: "blog la..u can blog about anything.'

Okay, so that's not exactly what she said, but our conversation is something like that.

Every time I commented about her blog, we'd find ourselves going back to the same topic :)

My Top 3 reasons Why I Choose to Blog Again

and this time on blogger.com :

3. I needed something for me to vent out,rant about. I dunno what's happening to me recently, but it seems like I'm sitting on an emotional roller coster. and it's making me throw up. I'm growing sick, green in face. Pass the paper bag. Gimme a break. In this case, blogging can be my pain killer. Something to keep me sane by pouring out all my thoughts and feelings. I hope it'll work. :)

2. Peer pressure. Jocelyn. Yin. Shan lyn.

and the no. 1 reason why I wanted to blog again?

1. Apparently, bloggers can earn extra income just by blogging. Need I say more? XP
