Pumpkin muffins taste funny.
They do. Mine tastes like, uh, paper that's been soaked in nutmeg and cinnamon. Yeah. So it basically tastes like wet cinn-meg cardboard. Oh yeah. Nevertheless, this is the only meal I will be having for the day so... *eats*
Ew.
---------------Whenever I tell stories like the one I am about to tell you, I feel that the reaction I will get from people is "That's rich coming from someone who doesn't believe in God." And I can't really blame anyone for thinking that since I do happen to display a certain amount of aetheism. But what I have come to understand, and this I do not bother to explain to other people, is that there is something bigger out there. I don't know what or who it is. I just know that nothing is ever in my control.
I woke up late today, *tsk tsk* super late that I didn't even get to make myself a cup of coffee. As a result, I was dozing off on the train to school. Now, there's a certain plane of consciousness where you are neither asleep nor awake, where your mind continues to work but your body does not, and I guess I went into that a while ago. But as far as I was concerned, I "knew" I was awake.
Apparently, I wasn't awake because I felt a hand shake me awake. I opened my eyes and saw this Indian girl. I would have missed my stop (well, not really, since my stop is the last one. But then I would have ended up in the place where trains go after they reach the last stop and I have no intention of finding out where that is. Haha.). But divine providence, my dears! Divine providence.
Go ahead, start telling me that I have no right to talk about divine providence. All I know is that there is something or someone out there that will always be looking out for me. And I am thankful.

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
