| Everyone's been blogging about the past year and the new year recently so I decided that it's my turn to jump on the bandwagon!
Straight up. 2010 has been a crazy rollercoaster ride. The first half of the year was difficult as my mind was bothered by thoughts of previous issues. Nearing summer was one of my all time highs. When Fall season came, my mind was at a plateau stage where it felt dead and emotionless. Or... so I hoped it to be that way. And Christmas, like everyone said, didn't feel like Christmas this year.
I'm ending (and starting) my 2010/2011 year with a bang, bang, bang, bang. Four parties in a row - Dec 31st to Jan 3. Definitely looking forward to each and every one of them because I get to spend it with the people I love!
From my experiences this year, I've learned that there will always be someone to listen to you. No matter how much you wish time would pass faster so you could forget about past problems, it's not going to happen. The only thing that will help make you stronger is a good friend who is willing to listen and help you get back on track. Even though I don't show my appreciation in direct ways, I'm truly grateful for the ones who held out their hand for me when I was at my lowest and weakest points. Thank-you for that.
Best wishes to everyone for a great year to come! Goodbye and goodnight. | | |
| Our tree still isn't up (rofl) nor does our house have any sort of decoration to indicate that Christmas is here. Oh wait! We got a couple of Poinsettias sitting on top of our TV, does that count? Hm, where's the snow at? Just checked the weather network: Rain, rain, light rain, rain, rain. I guess rain could substitute for snow this year.
But really, Christmas isn't about how much you spend on gifts and decorations. It's not about having the best house on the block because you got a crazy deal on ten inflatable Christmas characters. It's about celebrating the coming of Christ!!! Something everyone should be excited about. If you're not, don't fret... I'm excited for you!!! Anyway, I hope everyone's enjoying their holidays so far. :) I can't wait to open my one present tonight that's under the imaginary tree (all of the gifts are stacked in a corner of our living room. haha!). | | |
| My life isn't as wonderful as you think it is.
Yes, I blog about school... but there's so much more than that.
I spend way too much time wondering and not enough time living.
My 2011 new year's resolution: SFAY.
I go get what I want, but don't think about what I really need.
The number of times I put myself down is really unhealthy and I would like to change that.
Sometimes I wish I didn't have Xanga, so you wouldn't be able to read it. | | |
| I hate the advertisements of "single women" all over Xanga =___=" I'm just trying to read my subscriptions, not finding a new lover! Grrr..
(Not that I'm attracted to single women... =P Ha.)
Anyway, Christmas is in 5 days!!!! Can you believe it?!??
Today I finally went Christmas shopping! And since the sales are so amazing, I ended up buying stuff for myself as well! >< Eeek! I really didn't want to, but I couldn't resist! My paycheque came last Friday, but it definitely wasn't enough for Christmas presents. Oh my my. Why did final exams have to be on the week before Christmas? I should've taken more time to work!
Oh well! And damn. So many things to do tomorrow for Steff's party.
- buy an ugly sweater
- buy stuffing, make stuffing
- pick outfit to wear? teal? purple?
- buy a gift for the exchange
Oh my gosh. Feeling the panic button go off!
Onto more brighter things, I spent the night talking to an old friend. We had a good time catching up. Don't know what is it about her, but we can spend an entire year without communicating with each other and then spend a whole night talking as if we were bestfriends. Ahh, that's love.
Anyway, off to work I go! I guess I must try to enjoy work as much as possible now because there will be no more work after January's over!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! | | |
| Eeeeeeeek. mySIS marks are going up, one by one!
So far, so good. :)
I know once I see my English mark, my heart is going to be torn... but I can be happy for a little while, right? This term was definitely one of the better ones. For the past three terms, I did not meet my expectations. I always wanted to do well in school, but I lacked the motivation and was discouraged to bring up my GPA (it started off bad and continued to drop even further). But now, I feel like there's hope. I can finally face my dad when he asks, "How are you doing in school?" I don't have to avoid that cringing question anymore. I was always embarrassed to share my marks with people. Mostly because I know that everyone has a better mark than me.
I'm just not used to having this much competition. I know I shouldn't even view life this way, but that's the way I am. Having good grades makes me happy. Yup, that's how I roll. Anyway, now that I'm slightly more comfortable with school and studying proactively... I'm really excited for what's to come for the future.
Sorry for another big ol' geeky post. Just wanted to spread the joy!
I am SOOOOOOOOOO happy right now. You don't even know it! >=) | | |
