Here's your favourite autumn girl. I'm putting my hands in my pockets and I think, "Why don't most people enjoy autumn? They go for spring. I don't really adore spring so much - everything is just so green."

Ok, so maybe I don't have much say in the matter given that I've never experienced autumn, or any of the other changes in season for that matter, since Singapore is stuck somewhere between spring and summer. From all the movies or pictures I've seen, I've always imagined this dirty lane, a concrete pavement with brown earth and leaves of gold, red, yellow, orange and brown scattered all over. The trees are either deep auburn red and gold or bare. There's always a gentle cold wind blowing, stirring the leaves. It really is a wonderful and peaceful scene.

No wonder they always take advantage of this kind of scenes - peace - before something tragic happens; aliens landing on earth etc. the world is at it's end etc. etc.

Take advantage of peace while there is tranquility.

You should NEVER feel bored! Always take advantage of life! I went for Church of the Holy Spirit's Youth Conference '08 and eventhough I did not stay till the end, I still feel what we're supposed to do. Bottom line: Live life to the fullest and help others so that they too may live lives they love.

Some ways to spend the holidays:

1. Get out of the house and into the streets! Breathe in fresh air for goodness sake, not the air-con in your room 24/7!
2. Go to the SPCA. I got a glimpse of a book today; The Diary of a Medical Inuitive. It's about a women who could feel when a person was sick and could diagnose him or her almost immediately because of their energy fields. She says when you feel miserable, your energy fields are at its lowest so you're more susceptible to get a disease. One way to boost your energy? Love a pet.
3. Wrap your books. Don't leave it to the last moment.
4. Pick up a musical instrument! Make it your goal for the month. I shall learn the basics of a guitar by this month etc. etc. Have patience; you'll be making music out of initial cat screeches soon.
5. Read a book. "My Best Friend's Girl" is good. So is "Ways To Live Forever".
6. Go to church. Don't neglect your faith!

ETC. ETC.

So have a great December, k? I fully expect happy faces next month at school :)
