I talked to Kip, Alex, and Peggy!! Like...we actually talked.
I retook my photo with Kip like...5 times?!??!?! I kept on telling him how much I love his lyrics, and I really meant it. I just needed him to know how talented he is! AND HE SAID THANK YOU SO MANY TIMES WITH THAT ULTRA SEXY VOICE THAT CAN MADE ME FALL ON MY KNEES LIKE GELATIN.
Alex wished me luck for my mock test next week!!!
And Peggy, she said, "I saw you! You remember a lot of the lyrics! You were singing in front right."

LOVING POBPAH EVEN MORE. BYEBYE. CAN'T STAND THIS HYPER ATTACK.
Come back soon, please. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hyperthymesia

So, I just discovered that really cool word today in IT class, when Callista was going through Tumblr or something. And why is it so cool again?

'Cause I've always known that I have this weird way of remembering. I remember every single detail of the major things that happen in my life, and I always visualize my life as a timeline - meaning to say, I remember things in chronological order, and most of the time, I remember dates unconsciously. But I never thought tat there actually is a word for such characteristics, I thought it's just...I dunno...something.

So, yeah, this new vocabulary is very enlightening for me, 'cause I just figured out another thing about myself and I now have a new word to describe myself! Language really is a way of knowing. :D

But then again, who am I to say that I'm hyperthymestic. First of all, I'm only self-diagnosing. And second, even if a third party or psychologist tells me that, how is it gonna be so reliable? Nonetheless, I think I'll just go with my self-diagnosis. I think I have mild hyperthymesia.

P.S. Hyperthymesia is not a disease; it is a symptom. Read here for more information.

IB Learner Profile

 

IB learners strive to be:

1. Inquirers
2. Knowledgeable
3. Thinkers
4. Communicators
5. Principled
6. Open-minded
7. Caring
8. Risk-takers
9. Balanced
10. Reflective

I love this video. I love the IB Learner Profile, it pretty much sums up the main qualities that everyone should have. Moreover, I've always thought that shallow-mindedness is the major barrier of world peace; and IB is the first education system I know that really focuses on shaping open minds. I'm a proud IB student. :)

P.S. I'll save my thank you for May 21!

Knowledge leads you to greater knowledge,
and takes you to an even higher understanding of knowledge.

I know my presence is such a disturbance to the picture, but hey, Will says I might as well be an exclamation point!
So I think it's pretty cool to be an inverted exclamation point, actually.
That isn't too bad, is it? B-D

Hello people, I am an inverted exclamation point.
P.S. In a way, it looks like "I LOVE (Felisa). LOL :p

"I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious."

Albert Einstein

~*~*~

Is there anything that describes me more than this saying of Einstein? Oh, did I ever tell you how I feel 'enlightened' everytime I feel myself becoming more self-conscious? Please don't think I'm overreacting, because I'm not - no, actually, it's alright with me if you prefer to think so. I'm just a person who...well, appreciate the little things in life. People see this as weird sometimes, maybe because I can seem too obsessive at times. But by the by, back to the topic! I'm so happy I found this quote! These words are just so right. It's not that I didn't notice the existence of the wild curiosity inside me, but it's just that...well, it's funny how a few words from a third party can make a thought or statement sharper and truer, isn't it?

Oh, and nothing compares to having the same thought with the genius with the tongue. 

Yeah, nothing. B-)

You always have your own opinion on things. Most of them are even so twisted that I just can't understand. Well, I guess this is just one of the reasons why I like you.

For a moment, I really thought it was victory,
until I carelessly ruined it for myself.
