like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

the anti-social me

alright. it's been a month i study here in Itenas and everything goes pretty well i can say. since the first week and i was pretty stressed out for having no friends, now i've had pretty many of them - not so many, tho.

but, there's just one thing i find it hard to let go: the anti-social me. not a real anti-social, may be individualist is a better word to describe. i don't know why i feel like an anti-social. i spend most of my days alone. i work alone in my table while others chat and joke around. i go home alone while others hang out somewhere. i stay in my own room by myself while others gather and laugh a lot in the other room.

may be i'm too much an individualist? but i'm not that individualist. i hang out much with my friends back then in high school. or is it me that can't adapt and go along well with my new friends? may be.
