Black Rose

"How do one, describe a rose? Not unlike those, who burns their love, but those who do, will find a rose, black with soot."

Playing the Glad Game

Hey !

We - that is - I had a lot of fun yesterday.

We gave out several roses to which quotes were attached and gave it out to people on the streets. It's really lovely to know that we would be making someone's dreary day into a rose-filled day. And why wouldn't they be happy? To receive a free fresh rose out on a street? I paid close attention to their faces when they received it and they were all satisfied, gleeful and happy faces (well the people I gave to anyway) and I was careful to give only those who wanted and who needed their days to be brighten up by a simple giving of a rose.

It was wonderful and generous of our school to have such an activity like this. I'm so glad we did a good thing - making someone else's day a good day, considering their tired faces when they rolled down the windows :p

Oh and I'm also happy that I'm able to play the Glad Game as well as Pollyanna. She. Is. Such. An. Inspiration.

After that, we trudged up to KFC to eat and rest while the rain fell in torrents around the area. I wasn't surprised; the sky was already badly bruised when we did the rose-giving.

Anyway it was a great day, what with us going to Periplus after that and I ended up not doing that particular thing I had been waiting for. *sigh*

Yesterday was plenty crazy too; Alay, Ida, Ina, Lovi and I mostly screamed and shouted in the car when we were trying to find a parking space in Malioboro. I don't get why people go there all the time. There's nothing in there. Seriously.


I've been having several minor mental breakdowns concerning everything that has been revolving around my life and the Glad Game helped put a stop to it. My friends and family helped too, and I owe them a lot. 

Last but not least, I am so glad to have such a life and such great and awesome parents and friends.

As Pollyanna would say, "I'm very, very VERY glad!"
