Hey folks,
I've been tackling my essay and gosh, it seems like it's damn tough to churn out words for this coz it's tough and it is an argumentative essay. I'd pray for creative juices to enter my brain so that I can create a better introduction and continue with a better style of writing.
I'm writing about public relations and advertising, and it makes me think of brands and brands as a set of meanings and identities. Then, i started thinking of Sherry as a brand and what Sherry means. I feel that nowadays, I'm quite distracted by things around me, unlike in the past, whereby i could totally remain oblivious to things around me.
The solution to this is to focus on my studies, to keep work matters very low profiled till they have ended and to avoid talking too much. I'm very afraid that this distraction might cause me to lose my focus on what is important to me, and what are my priorities. I've been warned before and I would commit myself to put my studies as my top priority. I don't wanna be in a situation whereby I am immersed so deeply into something that I find it hard to get out of it.
The Sherry that you know now is the same diligent Sherry you knew years ago ( yeap. except for her life in jc) and the same Sherry who is unconventional and has her own set of rules and values. She is also the same Sherry who has passion in what she does and takes pride in what she does.
So no, She never did change at all. And people who have been through with her through thick and thin would always be precious to her. You are so wrong when you think that i spend my whole life partying away and doing nonsensical stuff. I work hard 1/2 the time, and the other 1/2 are spent on my projects and assignments and studying for my exams. Due to the nature of my job, i would constantly have to do some marketing and self-promotion and people may mistake that as doing nonsense. And of course you can't portray yourself as tired, drained,depressed and lifeless when you are branding yourself as a brand. A brand is a set of values and people would be more inclined to develop a liking towards a brand that is positive, energetic, fun-loving and carefree.
To Eliminate things that distract her she shall do. And this would be for her own good and for her future.
And i seriously love people who are real. I met some in uni and I learnt that yes, it's true that sometimes we all need to do some PR to get by, and my straight-forwardness had gotten me into trouble many times, but sometimes it does get a bit tiring to be ''politically-correct'' all the time..
Maybe that's why i always shun myself away from social situations coz i get tired of saying things
that don't really matter at all at the end of the day. I feel most at peace when I'm alone or with my very close group of girlfrenz. Just two days ago, I had dinner and chilled out with my lovely cousins and my family members and i genuinely enjoyed the dinner and chill-out session. It feels so warm and so genuine. I need to spend more time with my family members as well as they are very important to me. Hopefully i can rest well after i'm done with my essay.
And i agree with a friend about why bother about people who bitch about me.
I came to this point whereby I simply take everything as a joke.
I believe some people who obviously do not like me, bother to scrutinize my life and dig details about what's happening in my life in order to generate more news to talk about. I've learnt to be less trusting, to be more street-smart and to be more astute. Everything is a learning experience.
Dear God, please help me through life and let me find purpose and meaning in it.
Thank you God.
-Sherry-
