Full Moon


I would always like the feeling of just staring at the sky at night. It is so peaceful and relaxing. But then, I did not consider seeing a full moon as something special until I met a special friend of mine. He mentioned once that he also like looking at the sky while marveling at the full moon's beauty. Ever since he told me about it and after seeing a full moon with him, I would remember him and remind him once in a while that the moon is at its best, full and shining brightly across the dark sky. It is like a lightened path that lures you to follow it.

Last night, a full moon shone in the dim sky. It has always been said that when you wish upon a star, that wish will come true. But hours ago, I decided to try something peculiarly new, I'll wish upon a full moon. So I made a wish while giving it a nice long stare, long enough to convince Someone above to grant my wish. I walked down the road some more while thinking about my wish. I continued wishing, hoping and praying. A few moments later, it did come true, right there in front of me. It was one of those moments where you just want the time to stop. It is a delightful scene from your favorite film that you would want to take pleasure in watching it, no matter how many times you press the rewind and play buttons. Feeling surprised, I held back not knowing what to do next. I began to move farther away. Sadly though, my wish did not completely come true. It occurred to me that I was so caught up with wishing that I forgot to do something important. I forgot to do my part. I realized that a full moon perhaps may trigger a wish to come true (or at least, I believe so) or He may give you the chance to fulfill it because things will not merely unfold before your eyes. It's still up to you whether or not you would really make it come true, to make something really happen. Wishes won't come true unless you believe in them and act upon them.

So the next time you see a full moon, make a wish (good things, okay?) and make it happen! I will also keep that in mind!

Restart

Restart blog? Yes.

I missed the excitement when I first started this blog. I only had three short entries then for three consecutive days. I deleted the last two entries because I'm not satisfied with my writing. I just can't help but feel disappointed thinking that it takes some time before I write a new entry again.

Finally, I'm restarting this blog again. I'll hopefully be able to write new entries regularly from now on. For some weird reason, I can't avoid but make drafts of everything I write. Perhaps because I would really want to continue writing and improve in this aspect. I had always believed that I somehow had the talent to write (hihi). Also, writing a lot of papers in college (from reaction papers to reflection papers to my very own screenplay) made me used to writing about possibly any topic that I know of. I'm very particular about every word I write that I always, always had to have drafts. Now, I have started doing it again. I always like it when I review drafts because I also like editing them further. Like how the saying goes, there's always room for improvement. I really believe that having a blog is helpful for me because I get to learn more and improve on my writing. I'm now feeling obliged to write after realizing these things. I just want to write, write and write. I can now honestly say that it's very gratifying for me to write once again.

So again, welcome back.

At the beginning of the film
Alfie, the character Alfie, has this booklet of words and their meanings to help him widen his vocabulary. He tries to understand a word's definition every single day and uses it in a sentence. I'm just wondering where can I get something like that?

Welcome!


After a very long time, I gave in to another element of vanity, haha! I finally have a blog! After many hours of editing its simple appearance and asking help from almost everyone around me, I already have the time to write. So here I am, just waiting to celebrate my 21st birthday with my dear family. I can't believe it! I'm turning 21! Welcome to the adult world where you get to have more worries about your own life. On the other hand, I can't imagine myself acting so maturely since I'm still the same perky, innocent Tin. haha! I have so many things to learn about life and fine, about love. Am I bitter or what?! And honestly, I'm really happy to have a blog where I can share my own brilliant thoughts, experiences, reflections and just be able to express myself better. Hello moonlitemauve.blogspot.com!
