#12 It’s all but a shadow.

Paris, France

I have said it before, haven’t I? It is all but a shadow. I’m such a faux sometimes, like a crooked thief stealing and lying, getting what I want, doing what I like.

Anyway, today was pretty weird. I woke up feeling dizzy after unintentionally sleeping for 9 hours. The funny thing is, I clearly remember being whacked at the head with a badminton racquet in my dream. Seems weird that I should wake up feeling woozy afterwards.

I have decided to change the layout to make things look less maundy and black.

Have a good day, yo.

What am I supposed to see, Lord?

Learning to stop worshiping myself.

#9 Fatigue failure.

Fatigue failure a type of material failure. Mechanical components under cyclic loading, meaning constant periodic loading and unloading, most of the times fail from fatigue. A component may be under a low level of stress but if undergoes repetitious tension and compression, axial or torsional stresses, it is prone to breaking.

There is a graph that describes very well the relation of stress level and the number of cycles at which a metal beam breaks. It’s a negative exponential graph where the horizontal asymptote is known as the fatigue limit, which is the threshold stress below which the component is not supposed to fail. This means that at a certain level of applied stress, even if it is happening infinitely, the component will not break.

I find fatigue failure describes me very well. The constant periodic loading and unloading is driving me towards fatigue, hopefully not yet to failure. Material science is so logical and applicable to life. Oh the engineering me. This engineering education shapes me to think so rationally.

I was talking to a friend and he mentioned that if I start to say “I think..” and less of “I feel..”, I am becoming very very rational and I see that I am heading that way. I can’t help it really; my class is such a testosterone filled class. 5 girls in my class of 40, 1 girl in a lab of 10.

Hahahaha funny, but I like engineering.

The thing on my mind is..-Paris-

There is really only one thing I want to do in life.

#6 Only one’s good.

People will always disappoint me. That’s because I think everyone is me.

*smacks head*

#5 Slow down.

so busy huh. -Paris, France

I have this habit of getting busy in no time. One thing off the plate, I help myself to another serving. I need to learn to slow down.

It’s all about balancing. Charlotte’s right.

This is photo was taken in the heart of Paris downtown. Right opposite the National Gallery House, you see the grandness of Hausmann’s boulevards; straight, wide roads with very neat and well planned structures.

Enjoy the day, y’all.

#4 I’m me.

Sometimes, no matter how much you want to be a plain Jane, you’re never intended to be one.

Wake up each morning, and tell yourself that “You’re awesome.”

Because God made you.

#3 Back to nature.

back to nature. -Salisbury-

I just want to go back to my age. I’m tired of stretching my maturity beyond that of 19.
