Bursting Ariel's Bubble


So this is a very abstract post. A couple of weird things that have been on my mind.
So I was thinking what if Prince Eric (from the Little Mermaid) didn't actually like Ariel. Maybe he felt bad for her. Maybe he felt bad for the girl who was crazy about him and went to unbelievable lengths (leg transplants.. anyone?) so she could be with him. What if he was too nice to let her down and burst her bubble? So he's just playing along silently.
And what if there was a merman in the sea who is just as crazy about Ariel as she's abut Eric? What if this merman never got a chance because Ariel is too blind to see anyone besides Eric? Whoa. Mindblown. :|
And obviously Ariel needs an explanation. Maybe Eric should prove his love to her somehow. Idk.
BTW I like Ariel. But I found whole plot of The Little Mermaid completely crazy. You don't give up everything you have for someone you SAW a minute ago. Its just something you shouldn't do. I don't know. Maybe Ariel deserves better. :3

Doctors that make you feel good.


Almost a week ago, an Economics teacher said something that has been stuck in my head for a while now. While explaining the concept of utility (or it could have been something else) she casually said:
"You know, some doctors make you feel good even before they treat you. Just by the way they talk they can make you feel better."

And I thought. THAT IS SOO TRUE. I've been to quite a few doctors myself in the past couple of months and one thing that always assured me is the way the doctor talks to me. One smile can make me feel more relaxed and calm. Although in my normal happy mood I am very calm and carefree, when something bad happens, I suddenly become Worry Woman.

I worry about everything. Every little thing, and the worst part is that nothing can stop me from going nuts over small things. Some people may call me crazy but I always believe that anything is possible. Although that mentality is usually a good one that's gonna lead you to success, in my case, it is a disaster. Because I always arrive at the worst possible scenario and start worrying about it. Maybe that came from the "keep your expectations low and you wont be disappointed" principle. I find it ironic that all these wise self-help quotes have the opposite effect on me. Maybe I have trouble interpreting things. *Sigh*

Anyway, lately, I have been a bit of a hypercondriac. I always fear that I might be sick. I can't sleep at night because I think I'm sick. I can't eat because I think I'm sick. I can't have a good time because I think I'm sick and its taking over my life. The truth is, I just worry too much and Google doesn't help much.
I have this really bad habit of looking up my symptoms on Google. And I almost always have cancer or I might be pregnant or something like that. The more I worry about what Google says, the crazier I become. Its always best to rely on Dr. The-Guy-In-The-Hospital rather than Dr. Google.

As for the doctor in the hospital, I visited him today and I feel a lot better. I showed him the stuff I was going bananas over and he just laughed and gave some medicine, asked me to do some tests and had me inject some stuff into my body. And honestly, I feel so much more relaxed right now. I mean he knows better than me about these things. So yeah I've decided to trust him.

If there's anything I've learned though, it is that:
1. Overthinking can only make things worse.
2. If you wanna be a doctor, be a nice one. And always smile at people. It can make a huge difference. And     never ever ever be mad at them. Ever.
3. There's always hope.

What's old, new and coming up next.

I know I haven't blogged in a loong time and I thought I would never blog again for some reason. But here I am blogging away!
So what am I up to these days? For starters, I'm back in school studying for my A levels. So far school has been good. I have a class full of girls and one boy and that's kind of fun. Its always fun making fun of him for being the only boy. We have been telling him that we would turn him into a girl by the end of these two years. We may be joking or we may be dead serious about that. :3
Well there has been a lot going on in my head for the past few weeks and I really really needed to let myself go and enjoy life again. So I am definitely gonna be blogging a lot and I think I'm gonna go back to my favourite hobby back in the days. PAINTING! YAYY!
I used to paint a lot as a child and it has always been my way of expressing how I feel. I'm not very verbal about my feelings because honestly hate to involve people in my problems. And as for painting, I shall quote my sister:

"The best thing about painting is you can say whatever you want in everyone's face and no one will have a clue about what you just said."


When I paint I don't really like to stick to just colour pencils and paints. Sometimes I like to stain the paper with flowers or leaves or mud or even my make up. There's just something so liberating about that. And I was love experimenting with natural dyes. I once collected a lot of leaves and flowers and weird little berries from my backyard and tried to paint with them. And it did turn out quite good I'd say. Haha. See, I'm already excited about it. Anyway, I think I've said enough. Hopefully the next time you see me post, you'll see some artwork. Adios. Oh and that's one thing I've tried in the past couple of months. Learning Spanish. I quit halfway through. But I can say Adios so I'm happy.
