| "Thank you so much for your kindness"- TGH Patient
I had lots of nice memorable moments volunteering at Toronto General Hospital. The staff there are nice and the team there is phenomenal. Doctors actually step themselves down to talk to you instead of drowning in their own cockiness. The Information Desk proves harder than the job really is. Dealing with all those visitors and patients can be a real pain in the ass sometimes and I kid you not. As a volunteer, we take people to their destinations and provide help if necessary. And that's exactly what I've been doing. I remember one day being extremely exhausted and experiencing family problems yet again, an old man came up to me and asked for directions. As usual, I give the usual warm smile, "Hi, How can I help you?" Unaware of how impressed the old man was, "My, You're really happy to serve me today", and gave me a big smile. I was definietly a bit stunned and didn't realize the impression I gave off but it no doubt made me feel good inside. Knowing that regardless of how shitty things are going, I'm still able to happily serve people from the bottom of my heart. Just today, a woman came up to ask for directions also and seemed a bit agitated at first. With some patience I was able to bring a smile to her face. She had some trouble remember the location so she often came back to ask them again. To make sure she actually got to the right place I took her there and dropped her off there. I headed back to the information desk and continued my job. Not having realized how thankful the woman patient was, she came back and to find me at the desk. "It's me again!" Smiling, I asked her, "Hi, how can I help you this time?" "Nothing, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciated it." A little shocked, it was hard to find something to reply to what she just said so I just said it wasn't a problem at all. It's nice to know that something that is effortlessly done by someone can be so greatly appreciated by another. | | |
| 只想爱你 -杨丞琳- 我终于还是说了一句我爱你
还记得那个微凉夜里天空正飘着小雨
心跳的声音像舞动奇迹
你看着我说千万不要爱上你
因为你只会让我伤心别傻了快点喊停
你那么冷静忽远又忽近
我知道我对你来说也许太年轻
我想我猜我问我终于了解
原来为爱流的眼泪也是种甜蜜滋味
只想爱你当我和你走在一起就已经决定
不看不听不问也不会放弃
是你让我了解自己可以为爱那么坚定
只想爱你好想每天睁开眼睛就能看到你
我知道我偶尔有一点任性
不管你做任何决定究竟爱我还是逃避
sorry
我还是不会放弃爱你
sorry
我还是不会放弃
我还是不会放弃爱你

| i remember when he yelled at us because we had done something wrong again. he told us to leave and never to come back again. we were in tears begging him to let us stay, that we would be good. as our form of punishment, he told us to kneel outside on the porch and hold on to our ears. we reluctantly stepped out the front door. it was bitter cold outside so we huddled as close as we could. he quickly shut the door, went out from the side door and got into the car. he started the engine and we watched him drove away. he asked me whether he was going to come back home. i didn't have an answer. tired because it was late at night, we decided to stop kneeling. wearing only thin pj's, we huddled closer and cried together while taking turns in comforting each other. ten minutes passed and we had already given hope of coming back. trying to make the best out of the situation, we tried to sleep despite the biting cold. i never felt so abandoned in my life. this time, i felt like that again except without anyone beside me on the steps. just me to help comfort myself. just me wiping my own tears with my sleeves. | | |
| My desk is an absolute mess and I can even barely get to my keyboard. Stayed up last night to finish the "museum of all things good" and didn't bother to at least make my desk look decent. My mom always says anyone would mistaken my brother's desk for mine because of the neatness. Now that the museum is over, I can slave over the other pile of work that is awaiting for me to do. Two more months and we'll all be out of the school once more. Playing piano has become less frequent because of the lack of sleep. Ran and knocked my heater just yesterday in the morning. Extremely tired and didn't even notice it which caused a nice big bruise on my shins. Ow. Tomorrow morning is volunteering orientation. Woohoo, I can sleep in then head down there. Looking forward to the summer but seems like a busy one too. Time to fill out another volunteer application form. Joy. | | |
