and so...

well
it's the 15th of Feb 09
like almost a whole year since i last posted a blog
no actually
only about 6 months
but THAT"S BESIDES THE POINT
so i'm writing this because Thien told me he reads them
and he pretty much asked for one T___T
so anyways
this has nothing to do with thien
i'm just writing it because i feel like it
and thien just motivated me to write it even more

SO
well a LOT has happened since my last post
then again, to be fair it HAS been quite a while
but anyways

so what's hapepned since then?
well a LOT
A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN
well iwas going to make a list
i even did the layout for a properly grammatically correct list
but then changed my mind
i think it's more fun when i rave on and on about stuff
i think people like it better when i do that
less systematic
and someimtes it's qutie humourous to see me so confused.

at the last post, WYD had ended
everyone went back to their lives
EXCPET
everyone had changed
in their own way or another, eveyrone had changed
and for the better, of course
after WYD
and eveyrone ahd come back
it seemed really different
to me
it was like
the people who HADN"T gone to WYD with us (like TU) were just...not as INCLUDED in our groups anymore
sure i still love them as i always ahve
but they seemed to be missing out on somehting MAJOR
because, of cousre, WYD was a freaking major event
for a while after WYD it was like this:
ppl who HAD gone to WYD (me thien andrew tuyen thao etcetc) vs. ppl who HADN"T gone to WYD (tu...ngan...tu...tu LOL)
it wasn't excalty rivalry
it was just that they wcoudn't exactly laugh at the things we laughed at
bceause they simply had not been there

so anyway
as i was saying about people coming back home very changed
and very different
FOR THE BETTER

at WYD..eveyrone learnt at least ONE thing new
about themselves, about each other, about God, about our religion, about LIFE
eveyonre who went to WYD learnt at LEAST one valuable lesson about life itself
btw, if you went toW YD and youre reading this and you're thinking that you DIDN'T learn any life lessons, well think harder
cause i know for certain taht eveyrone did, i mean for ALL that we went through
walking, trains...DAMN THOSE TRAINS AND ALL THE PPL, rebelling against the other groups (GRIN THAT WAS AWEOSME), staying up late, talking, and of course going to all of the WYD events
we went through a LOT over those...10 odd days

so when everyone came back
they were full of this new knowledge about themselves
and about life
and about each other
i mean, we lived with each other for like 10 DAYS! (from the 12th on the bus until the 23rd)
ok, so it was 11 days T__T
anyways
( i actually thought it was 9 but then i asked thien and he wa slike...it's 11 and he asked if i'm alright..LOL clearly judging by my terrible typing i'm NOT)
so of course we'd learnt about each otehr
and eveyrone's terrible habits
and somehow we got a LOT closer
after living together
sleepig side by side at randwick
and
of cousre mucking around
we learnt TONS
about each other

hence, at WYD, and after WYD
many frienships were formed
but then, quite a few relationships were tested
LOTS of relationships were tested
not only boy/girl relationships
but also friendships
eveyonre was tired all of the time but still happy so yo ugot to see their true colours when thry'e not hyped up with cordial or something
so at WYD
like i said, LOTS AND LOTS of friendships were formed
i met people from ALL OVER THE WORLD
from poland from italy fellow aussies
and i also made friensd with ppl from our community
some people id din't even know existed until that awesome 11 dayas we had
but of course mostly i stuck around my fellow TN-ians

so like i was saying
WYD= friendships made , friensdhips broken, relatoinships fired up, then broken down
and the aftermath of WYD
was that everyone was realising that they had found this part of them that they hadn't known had existed
so everyone was finally being as much of themselves as they could
so
lots of relationships were seemingly broken up
as part of the aftermath of WYD
some couples say taht it was gongi to happen anway
maybe WYD was just the catalyst for it
because after WYD quite a few couples broke up
those couples who had been very close before and during WYD
and they broke
because
well i think it wa smostly because evyeorne was realising their true potential after all

ok now i'm just going around in cirels
but yo uget the idea
i guess that's my comment on the aftermath of WYD

quite a few comments asctually
but
that's pretyt much all i ahve to say

WYD was a lesson
about each other, about ourselves, about God, our religion and LIFE
WYD was a big window opening, clearing the fog about our own LIVES
about LIFE itslfe
after WYD everythign seemed a LOT clearer
more things made sense
all i can say now is that
i'm glad WYD happened here in Austrtalia
i'm glad i got to go
and i'm going to the rest ofthem for as long as i can
