a bear hug

sometimes, all we want and all we need is someone to show us compassion.

a pulitzer prize-winning photographer who is now a professor at san jose state helped stopped an attempted burglary at a bank by putting the suspect in a bear hug.

"when he (the professor) bear-hugged that would-be robber, he didn't struggle. in fact, he went limp, stood still, and waited for the police to arrive." (when the police came, the professor had been hugging the robber for 10 minutes with nobody else around them).

glee

one of my new favorite shows, "glee," has finally returned after a four month hiatus. yay :)

i like shows and movies and etc. mainly because it's entertaining and enjoyable, but sometimes, it's because i want to temporarily escape the real world. today, when i started the new episode of "glee," i was hoping to fall into a magical realm where i could forget who i was. but dang. i saw myself in one of the characters and was reminded of my life and the situation that i've fallen into. it's kind of crazy how i can relate almost the exact same way to this fictional character. the timing of the show's return was impeccably perfect. i don't know if this is a good or a bad thing, but it did kind of freak me out.

i know that the show and the characters aren't real. but i really hope the character that i can relate to will have a happy ending. as for me, i know that God will provide me with His right ending and i'll be joyful with it no matter what.

anyhoo. here is a picture of one of my favorites in "glee." emma pillsbury (hehe, i really like her name ^_^). she's so cute, feminine, and very lady-like. she's also very naive, innocent, and has a kind heart. i love the way she dresses, and her germaphobic quirk makes me love her even more :)

help

my mind feels so cluttered and dirty. why can't i just focus on ONE thing? i feel like my mind is a storage room filled with bajillion manila folders that were suppose to be filed and locked away. but i guess a tornado struck my brain and now, all those once neatly organized folders are scattered and opened, and there are piles and piles of paper everywhere! argh.

less than 3 weeks left. and i have soo much to learn. in this mess of a tornado, i'm trying not to let other things distract me. i just gotta clear my mind, shove all those papers away, spend my days with mr. becker (the name of the cpa review course) and let God take control! mhmm! *nods*

dear God, i need help.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. -- Isaiah 41:10

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. -- Philippians 4:13
