Ok.. so today I had the least amount of sleep in Nepal so far. Stayed up pretty late watching TV (mainly channel V and Boston Public and whatnot w/ Tsering and Sonam.. hahaha).
Today we went out to town and man was it soooo packed. The king is giving blessings to whoever goes to see him for DaShain.. so basically half of Nepal was outside his palace. The lines extended all the way around the main roads.. and the police wouldn't let us into town cuz they thought we would cut in line or something. We ended up picking up some fast food Spicy Chicken Burgers at Wimpys. Then went over to Movenpicks and had some more ice cream ^_^.
After that we came home and tried to set up the computers in the monastery. I think we might be in trouble cuz I formatted them even though Kathy originally didn't want me to (i had to for one because of HD errors, so I figured might as well the other one). Well, what's done is done. Only thing to do is learn from mistakes and move on right? What's the use of worrying about an irreversable event? Anyhow.. I'm dead tired, as soon as I feel up to going home I'm going to crash until tomorrow =P
Just read Tenshi's blog, and looks like there's some questions I'm going to give my viewpoint on =P
Q: Do you want to have kids?
I don't really know. I think my parents handled me really really well in almost all regards of raising a kid. Thus I don't really view it in a negative connotation deep inside. Of course on the outside I see all these families with problems. Heck some people around here in Nepal have horrible family situations. Stubborn parents, stubborn kids, arguments galore, insecurity in the kids because of treatment from parents, etc... But if worse comes to worse, I'll just send my kid to my mom =) hahaha. Even though I'm always kind of distant with my mom and she probably has her own problems with my family, I have all the values she's tried to instill in me and I love her for that. I think I could do something similar with my kids, or at least have good guidance to do so. I think raising a kid to better the future is a great thing any human being can do. Maybe i'm just too idealistic =P
Q: What is happiness? Love?
I would have to say unselfish love is pure happiness. If one can love someone(s) without thinking about oneself all the time and how they have to keep holding on to their lover, they would be truly content. Short answer, but lots of meaning if you think about it.. too tired to write more about that now =p
I dunno what's wrong w/ me today. Maybe it's the lack of sleep but I've been pretty down all day. Semi-depressed almost.. but then again I have nothing to be depressed about.. haha! Could be the lack of training this week cuz of DaShain has gotten me into that lazy lethargic feeling of being a vegetable.. or maybe even the back of my mind is dreading how my exams will be graded.. yeah.. i think it's definitely time for some good sleep =P
Here's one of the sites that I've been d/ling music vids off of in Nepal hahah =P
