Rules for living well

But before I go off for 3 days, here's smth for both you and I to ponder over:

Rules for living well
1. Choose quality over quantity with everything - food, friends, stuff etc.
2. Take the time to figure out who you really are, what you like and dislike, what you need and don't.
3. Live within your means.
4. Cultivate a passion- nurture it.
5. Eat real food 80% of the time- stay away from processed food, but allow to indulge because what's life without that 20%?
6. As hard as it is, acknowledge and work on whatever keeps you from living the life of your dreams.
7. Refuse to play small or dim your light in order to make others comfortable.
8. Listen to your body.
9. Spend part of every day in silence, even if it's ten minutes.
10. Create- whether it is a card, a song, a plant or a story/poem
11. Tell people you love them often.
12. Make mistakes- then learn.
13. Be true to yourself at all costs.
14. Love self- you are not a number on the scale, or a couple of discouraging comments; you are who you think you are!

Adapted, and added on from here.

By the way, it's Thanksgiving season over in the US- what are you thankful for?

-confetti!!!-





Um, is it obvious enough already?

I'VE PASSED 50K!! :D:D:D:D:D

In other words,
I've. WON. NANOWRIMO!!

Hm? I'm overexcited? Really? Nah, I don't think so :P

And this for fun:
My first word is 'Sandrine'.
50,000th word is 'who'.

Current word count: 50,055 words

Take a look! >>>

(Click image to make clearer)
Nice purple bar, eh? :D

I think this is my earliest nano win yet! :D
I really pushed myself over the 50k mark today. I think writing 5500+ words today proves that point. The best part is, my entire story's done (:
Maybe I'll actually get to editing this one, unlike the past two years' (oops), because I'm liking my stories better and better year after year. I actually think I flew through this one. I came up with a few thousand a day pretty easily after that minor drought there in the first week. It's like I flew through the words!

I'm so happy, can you tell? :D
I'm probably gonna get myself something as a reward, I mean, you know, besides another entire completed novel (and this time it's probably better than the last two too!).

And youth camp's in 2 days!!!
Even more reason to get excited (:

Allow me to do this for one last time before I get off your back and stop bragging about my nano win:
YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, really, I'm sane ;)
And yes, so maybe I'm a nerd for writing so many words for my third time, but hey, I've probably written more words than you in your entire life so shush.

:)

waves which overcome

I find tht I am a whole lot more efficient when I tell the world (uh well.. almost.. since this is the internet..) what I'm gonna do today.
Right. So:

-2 Chinese jianbaos (picked the articles already, and have made some points)
-Nanowrimo, maybe another 3k? (outline for the entire thing done)

Need to fill up on the days when we're gone for youth camp and have no access to writing.. May have writing withdrawals, heh :D

-

Yesterday I spent the ENTIRE afternoon trying to fix the Chinese tongnian thing on the computer, drawing using paint and writing and copying and pasting and dealing with documents which hang on me and print out wrongly and being really. really. frustrated.
I literally sat in the chair for so many hours straight I thought I was gonna become bloop.
But it was fun looking at old photos ^^
At least it's almost done now. Gonna have to look thru it again before I print it out and hope it comes out alright. I tell you I had better get a good grade for it.. Crazy amount of work I put in it.

:D

Star on the horizon

Right. So on my agenda today is:
-Write as much as possible (bcos I slacked off again yesterday heh)
-Do Chinese homework, maybe 1/3 part
-Bake (..?)

Now for pics!

-
This is the Honey Oat bread baked on Monday night:
Yummy.

This pic was taken the morning after baking (half gone)






-

Here's what I did on Tuesday:
Homemade Pizza :D
Not to toot my own horn, but 'twas very good.



Dough was just 1.5 cups flour + 1 tsp yeast + 0.5 cup warm water + 0.5 tsp salt + lotsa kneading + letting it rise (1h+).



If you can't see from here, what's on the dough is:
-Reduced pasta tomato sauce
-Cut-up prawns
-Mushrooms
-Onions
-Tomato
-(Lots and lots and lots of) Cheese
(:



-

And this is.. Chem assignment .____.



-



And this is how my hair looks today because I decided this morning that I wanted to be an elvish princess. What am I, 3-years-old?!
Apparently so, heh :d

-

Anywayyy don't the pics look good? It's the pretty new camera (:
Finally a post with lotsa pics which are NOT blur thanks to my phone camera. Hurrah!

The hols have been nice and quiet so far and I quite like it. Now I've spent far too long here and I'm off to write maybe 1k before lunch time!

"If you knew you could not fail, what would you do?" -Ohsheglows
-

EDITTTT:
I just saw the crazy amount of maths homework they sent us in the email ._.
As an answer to the quote above: I would start on maths now.
Meh.
