How is 2011?

In less than 45 minutes, 2011 comes to an end. Honestly, I can't wait for 2012 to come. 2011 isn't that good. I mean in the 1st half, it was peaceful. The 2nd half was a non-stop mess. Just too much unhappy events. It seems like a never ending tunnel. I really tried very hard to be positive by asking myself "how bad can it get when it's already this bad?". You wouldn't believe how many times I said that to myself. It no longer works because things does not look bright at all. I just hope all problems gets solved when I get up in the morning. Wish 2012 will be a year filled with happiness and love. If not, at least not as bitter as 2011. May all of you have a happy new year!

Quote of the day: An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

School

In the pass couple of weeks, I've really been questioning myself if I made the right choice to advance my education to the next level. It seems that school is turning my depressed life into a more miserable one. Sometimes I wonder if it's really worth my time and money. At first, I thought while I am going for it, I would feel the accomplishment behind every course. However, this accomplishment have been shrink to a point that I can no longer foresee. The more I think about it, the more I am overwhelm. With all the drama going on and off, I am more depress and stress. At this very moment, I really don't know if I can finish school or not. On a financial side of it, it is wise to continue to the end. On an emotional side of it, I am really loosing my motivation to continue on. Will I be able to maintain my momentum and continue to the end? Am I wasting my money and time? Only time will tell.

Qote of the day: The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.

Gifts

No matter who you are, you have given at least 1 gift to someone. It's either a gift for the holiday and/or a special event. I am a firm believer of this gift principle: It's the actual usefulness, creativity, thoughts behind the gift that matters the most. A gift shouldn't be judge by its monetary value. However, it seems that most people nowdays judge gifts solely by their price tag. I can't stress enough on how pity those people are. For me, a gift does not need to be expensive at all. As long as the thoughts, usefulness, and/or creativity behind the gift itself is meaningful. When you go look for a gift in this holiday season, think about my gift principle before making your purchase!

Quote of the day: Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends.

Am I bad luck?

I usually don't believe in luck. I am not a superstitious person. However, the events happened in the past two weeks have make me questioning myself on bad luck. I was caught on an elevator door at work two weeks ago, which injured my right shoulder. I finally recover from that last week. Then, I got hit by a messenger bike on the way to work yersterday. I fell to the ground at impact point causing left leg and arm injuries. The changes on both events are very slim in my city. Am I bad luck? I hope not.

Quote of the day: Nothing happens by chance, my friend...No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long.
