Sing With Me.
I tear my heart open
I sold myself short
My weakness is
That I care too much
And my scars remind me
that the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel.
Scars – Paparoach
Whenever you hear this at the supermarket, H&M, on the radio, or if it is just perfectly sitting in your playlist – please — sing with me. It is in rememberance of our pain from people who rip our hearts out.
My emo-self is back.
Welcome back.

Play Hard — To Get.
“For me, my version of playing hard-to-get always works. Here’s how I do it: I always make sure that even if I am head-over-heels into a guy, I never let him know — even the slightest bit — that I am. If he calls me, I’ll wait at least three days before calling him back, and when I’m around him, I always act very nonchalant and make sure I talk to others as much as I talk to him. Lastly, I never spill my feelings until at least two weeks after he spills his. I think this leaves a guy always wanting more, and makes him feel like ‘getting’ me is a challenge. Guys like competition and to win, so it’s almost like a game!”
– Sarah, 29, systems analyst, Sacramento, CA
Guys like this? I think Ryan was trying to explain this to me the other day, and I just had the same look on my face that I had for my math teacher:
I will never understand this concept — ever.

Happy Birthday.
It’s my little brother’s 10th birthday today. Because it’s a Chinese family, a traditional Chinese family that is, emotions are hardly expressed.
I woke up this morning, and it was on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn’t say it. I looked at him and told him to stop stealing my Red Bulls instead. When he was about to step out the door for another day of school, I wanted to reach out and say it, but I didn’t. When I came back from school and he opened the door to greet me, I wanted to say it, again, but I didn’t say it.
All I wanted to say was “Happy Birthday Tim”
But I couldn’t even do it. There’s this rock inside my heart.
But I said it a million times on the inside…
Happy Birthday Tim. You’ll never go back to single digits again. Maybe when you grow a bit older, you can read this.

Welcome back.
And I will be singing with you.
I’ll only sing if you agree to play the guitar. Are you old enough to drink? Probably not, well, just so you know, I’ll be drinking while we sing.
RYC: Of course we have Red Bull in the States, what kind of backwood country do you think the US is? Besides, Red Bull doesn’t help me, if anything it’ll just make me crazy(ier)
I don’t think you’re old. How old is mad old? Also, it’s Friday, let’s celebrate. Unless of course, you have to wake up early tomorrow, then…sucks to be you.
haha cute. Your brother loves his big sister too, but then again, you’re not suppose to know that. BTW, per your request- I rewrote. and not I’m late to drive to New York. You should feel special.
i said happy birthday to your brother:)
i said happy birthday to your brother:)
LOL, I read the same MSN article as you. Some of the other tips are good though, haha.
yea, that hard to get thing is something ppl do to protect themselves…cause when you show the person how much you care, you’re baring yourself and getting hurt is so easy. so i guess that’s why sometimes i do it…not cause guys like the “competition” but because, you protect yourself from getting hurt or from giving too much and then getting disappointed in the end. so you say there’s a rock in your heart…but in truth, there isn’t, you are the most caring and giving person i’ve ever met. maybe *i’m the one with the rock in my heart.
gosh, really wanna talk to you and see you but…family probs =( maybe i’ll sneak over to your campus this week? or let’s meet up somewhere, yorkdale? hehe =) i’ll give you a call later, sorry couldn’t call back yesterday…i’ll call you tonight =)
talk to you later hun!
btw, give timothy a hug for me ok? and say happy birthday to him sheesh! hehe =P
when i find someone hot, i never look at him, and i definitely don’t talk to him too much when he’s around. i don’t mean to play hard to get, i’m just shy.
awww i have that type of family too, but it gets easier when all siblings grow up and become adults… the relationship dynamic between me and my brother is so much better now than it was when we were younger…
Not all guys like the playing hard to get… If there’s no reciprocity, I personally would just move on… Poor Tim… It’s only a “happy birthday…” it’s not like an “i love you… and you mean so much to me” speech…
