~WELCOME 2010~

It's been one hell of a year full of ups as well as down. Overall, after pondering the whole week on what should my resolutions should be for next year, i've decided to not have ANY at all. Why, do you ask? It's so simple.

I've always made sure, in the past, to have a to-do list. First few days were fine... come the seventh day, i forgot all about it. Sigh... I know... Not a very model citizen. So... to ensure i'll never repeat this sort of broken promises to myself, I've decided to just abandon all thoughts on having one. Might as well i don't have a list than feeling guilty every end of the year. It's really tiring, mind you! :P

Thus, for my peace of mind, let's not have any resolutions. Let's just go with the flow and see what happen from there on. By doing so, at least you won't feel guilty by the end of 2010!

Happy New Year 2010 to everyone. May all you wishes come true! (Mine included!) :D

~LIFE'S TOO SHORT ~

Read bout Brittany Murphy on the news. She's gone at such an early age. Such a lost since she has so much potential in her. My prayers will always be with you, Brittany. May you rest in peace.

~ STUCK ~

Am stuck with my proposal now... huahuahua... Too many ideas in my head and a very BIG problem translating it in writing. But then again, it's just me being procrastinating until the last minute. Should ban this word from my life's vocabulary. At least it'll do me so much good in this life.

I'm thinking a lot these days. Life, family, friends, etc... One thing for sure, am much more alert on people who says one thing but did another thing. Am so wary of these type of individuals that if possible, can i delete them permanently? :P

Oh... mood swings are a no no for me as well... Sigh... unfortunately, am also having the tendency of being guilty of this offense. Maybe if i just be someone who just keep quite and be the wallpaper, i'll probably be happy. But then again, knowing myself, i don't think that's such a good idea at all... Dang... scrape that.

Hmm... How to be someone who is not the above lists but still remains true to yourself? Sighhh... 2010... I'll be transforming myself like a transformer. Question is, which transformer cartoon should i be? Optimus Prime or Bumble bee? woahhh... Better stop this craziness... :P

~ KARI KAPITAN... YUM YUM... ~

I'm having the itch of cooking my own food these days instead of eating out. After a while, am really tired of "kedai" food. Browsing through some recipes and found something that i've always wanted to try. Will keep posted if I sync or swim... huahuahua... :)

p/s ~ contrary to what many peeps assume, I do KNOW how to cook... And PROUD of it... :P

~EXAM... OH... EXAM~

After a long... long.... LONG.... time of not having to see this, today, on the 29 November 2009, I've came face to face with this dreaded word. Oh... How i do NOT miss this at all, not in a million years, and for sure not forever.

As one of my lecturers said... "Anda menuju ke arah kebinasaan. Sepa yang mo berhenti???" :P

But, since I've set my mind on it, there's no turning back. Even though I'm obviously kicking and screaming on the top of my lung, screaming "What's going on?" And I say heyyyyy.... (Hehe... advertisement skijap)

Right... Back to this story. I've been pretty busy this second half of the year. A lot has happened. Some were best not to be remembered at all but mostly, I've been blessed. Among the many blessings given to me is continuing my studies. It is true what they say that you have to constantly challenge yourself to the max. No point in living if you are just staying in your comfort zones. You need to evolve especially in terms of your mind. Static minds bring static lifestyle = why are you sooooo boring??? (Sorry guys... pondering to myself... AGAIN)

My mind's full of ideas, as usual. However, somehow... I've noticed that it's not the same way I've been thinking before. I'm much careful with what I am trying to say to people, my ideas must be based on facts, etc... Grrrr... I'm officially heading to this ---> PHD (Permanent Head Damage!!).

So, tomorrow's going to be the last day of November before we know it, it's Christmas! Yay!!! So looking forward to it. Just want to chill out and relax and not think of anything, especially that word above. Huh!

Right... Now where's my other books??? Need to "read till I drop" for another paper is coming soon and I haven't started a thing! Sighhh... Another long night to go. Wish me luck!

4.57 am

I am sooooo sleepy and yet I have not finish even an inch of this assignment.... Sighhh... As usual, my last minute mentality is to be blamed. I soooo don't want to do this again. EVER! Sighhh....

~ CHOICES ~

Sometimes in life, you have to make lots of choices. Some are easier as A, B, C. Say example, choosing whether you want that chocolate cake or that cheese cake. Yup... I know. Both are hazardous for your health (not to mention your waistline) but they're both so yummy! In case you're wondering, I'll have that choco cake anytime, puhlezzz... :P

Unfortunately, most choices that you have to make or made are like life and death. These are the choices that at times will determine the path or course of your life.

Am now at that crossroad of making the right choices for myself. Should i take this so- called golden road? Or should i take this path that not many are willing to make?

Either way, with the state of my mind, everything kinda suck at the moment. Not enough sleep and not enough food could do very beautiful wonders to your psych. However, not enough food too could also be good for your body. :P

So, what will i do next? God knows what I will decide but i hope whatever my next step is, it'll be the path that i am sure of. A path that i'll decide on my own.

*************************************************************************************

P/s - These few entries have been more on the melancholy emotions that am experiencing at the moment. I am at a period of time where so many choices are presented to me on a golden platter. I do hope that i'll be able to weather this phase in my life. So, bear with me till i am sane and well again. But then again, maybe it'll take few more theraphy sessions through my blog. Huaaaa...

EMOTIONAL IMBALANCE

Suffice to say, i am emotionally wreck now. Why do i feel so down all of a sudden? Feels like crying the whole time. Sepa juga lah yang mo pb nie? Mati lah juga.

***************************************************************************************

LOST IN TRANSLATION

If someone told you that life is just a piece of cake, make it chocolate cake, they might be right. But then again, it might just be crap.

Life sucks at the moment. Just couldn't stand it any longer. I just wish i could just run away, far far away from reality.

Some might say i think too much and they might be true. I think too much and i feel too much it hurts so bad.

Please... Just let me be... Be free from this sick mind of mine.

*************************************************************************************

Frame of mind at the moment: Enda keruan tapi masih stabil.

*************************************************************************************

~ NO MORE LAST MINUTE MANTRA~

SELF- MANIFESTATION OF A
"NEARLY THERE" GAL

Tonight seems to be idea-making day. This post is just a reminder to "moi" to start planning my work and not wait till it's too late.

I would like to quote a professor of mine, who gave a lecture on time management.

"IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL".

That, my friends, are way too scary for even a procrastinator like me.

***************************************************************************************

~A NEW BEGINNING, A NEW START~

After all the tragedies this few months, there is actually a silver lining on the horizon. So much sadness and pain but alas, the outcome is so worth it.

I would never have guess that after all this time, my life path would be something so different from my imagination. There are things that I've wished I've handled it differently, but come to think of it, nope... would never trade these experiences at all.

I am more mature in my way of thinking. Not old, mind you, but more at peace with my way of thinking. How funny it is to be writing like this when before, I could not even comprehend this form of expression.

Well, suffice to say, embrace your life with a smile. There are times when it'll sucks but if it doesn't kill you, it'll only make you stronger.

*************************************************************************************

THE LOST OF LOVED ONES

May his soul rest in peace.

KOTOBIAN TADAU TAGAZO DO KAAMATAN

It's the month again when we Sabahan celebrate our age old tradition. Thus, to all my Sabahan friends, wishing you guys all the best during this festive season.

Plus, to my other half (dad's side), wishing you Happy Gawai Dayak or "Gayu guru gemai nyamai" to all Sarawakians.

Happy partying! :D

***************************************************************************************

~When 24 hours is not enough... ~

When 24 hours is not enough for you, what will you do? Will you sacrifice your sleeping time? Hmm.. Kalo suda tido pun less than 8 hours (tido pun around 1 am ++), what else should i sacrifice? My tv time? Hardly have the time pun mo tengok tv. It's so sad indeed tapi kan demi negara, kana juga sacrifice nie.

How bout makan time? Alamak... As it is, kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang tia makan lah sampai bisuk... huhu... Tapi tatap juga tia kurus-kurus nie... Aiiii... Ini lah bah yang enda best nie!

What else to sacrifice? Hmmm... Mandi time???? Euwww... No way! That one is not negotiable at all! Enda kan lah enda mandi kan? Enda berus gigi? Enda kan lah sebab talampau busy teda time at all mo pigi do your personal hygiene. Imagine malam tu ada date tapi sebab talampau kunu mo sacrifice your own personal kebersihan, you tia mandi at all. Skali kuar your date pingsan! Alalala... Apa enda pingsan... Bau punya kick! Gigi full of gold medal... Need i say more? :P

Makanya... If you only have 24 hours tu, use it wisely. Kalo suda kana kasi kerja tu, buat capat-capat. Jan last minute jak kerja tu. Mimang kompom kana sacrifice your personal time. Nahhh... Sepa yang kana? Paham-paham jak lah kalo suda kana sejibik! Hehehe...

*************************************************************************************

~Moral of the story~

Cuba kunu try tia mandi satu minggu? Tengok kalo kick atau enda... Hehehehehe...

*************************************************************************************

~Monday~

So it's a Monday
And me feel like me on a Sunday
But never ever forget it's the first day
Of the ever forgotten slave day...

Yay yay yay...

Tomorrow's a Tuesday
But it's now still on a Monday
Though it's five more minutes to the next day
I still have to be on this day...

Yay yay yay.....

*************************************************************************************

~MORAL OF THE STORY~

Go to sleep lah... Hehehe... :P

*************************************************************************************

~ Pssttt... Another Obsession... ~

So i have another obsession that's keep playing on my head, which in the end will kill my beauty sleep unless I finish it. The new Indonesion sinetron (Soap opera drama! :D ) called "DEWI".

Ohhhh... Me soooo likey likey it when I accidentally saw it on my visit to JB. Somehow, I do envy them cos they have nice food and even better choice of tv programmes since they can receive tv channels from Singapore and also Indonesia. Not really a big fan of soap operas but this is one nice sinetron, eventhough i saw only one episode... Sighh... (Who bah that 'samseng' guy that likes Dewi???? Me soooo wanna know nie... Driving me nuts! Huhu)

So... back to my trusty all time favourite & multifuctions tv substitute ---> YOUTUBE!

Ohhhh... The wonders of modern technologies... :D

*************************************************************************************

p/s - In case you don't find me for a few weeks, I'll be in front of my laptop! See you next month!


*************************************************************************************

~ WORK AKA HOLIDAY... ~

I can't wait to go to JB this Sunday. Never been there and really looking forward to it especially after the audit and everything. Now, still thinking what to pack. Hantam sajalah labu... :D


***************************************************************************************

~ Working on a Sunday???? ~

Working on a Sunday is soooo not cool but begini lah nie kalo suda kerja sama urang. So, what do you do when you work on a Sunday other than working your butt off???? Apalagi... Ikut lah senarai wajib di bawah tuk... Hehe...

My list of Working on a Sunday that doesn't involve working at all:

1) Pertama tama, musik kana pasang lah sebab takut tu mata pandai tutup palan2... huhu...

2) Kupi & biskut wajib ada sebab once suda start kerja tu, pandai malas tu bajalan. Kalo suda start bajalan, mimang susah mo start kerja balik.

3) Bah... musik suda on & momom pun ada, apalagi FB dulu lah...

4) Suda habis round FB makanya, lapor diri dulu sini... Hehehe...

5) Lapas tu, buli lah start buat karaja.

6) 5 minutes later... jeng jeng jeng... ulangi rutin dari 1 sampai 6 sampai rasa2 tia larat lagi mo stay sini opis... Hahaha...

~ Moral of the Story~

Sepa suruh lambat2 lagi kasi habis karaja... Nahhhh... tengok... Kana datang on a Sunday morning... kotoh... padan muka sendiri... :P

*************************************************************************************

~ Emotions ~

Ones emotions could play truant to ones health, if you don't deal with it properly. This is what I've concluded from reading a blog from one of my favorite bloggers, Ms Daphne Iking. In her article, she basically stated that if you don't deal with your emotions, be it good or bad, then it will affect your entire mind, body and soul.

Personally, I agree 100% with her statement. Personal experiences have taught me to show a more cool exterior to the whole world. A little bit show of sadness is a total no no to me. I believed that sadness equals to failure, which is hard for me to admit openly that I was wrong although I've acknowledged it deep down in my heart.

How do you deal with being sad, happy, etc when you feel that you're constantly being judge by the whole world? How could you move on when part of you has been hurt so bad by the people you've trusted? How? How?

For the past few years (or maybe forever), these questions have been part of my makeup in being the person of what I am today. I've shoved every emotions I could feel deep down inside me that it has now become such a neurosis in my mind.

I portrayed myself as being happy go lucky with no care in this world. Come night fall, I've turned into a person so out of touch with this world that I could not figure out why I was feeling disoriented with myself.

I've realized it is now taking a huge toll in my relationships, past and present.

One ex bf constantly trying to established emotional connection with me but was always left really disappointed cos I couldn't expressed my emotions to him. And I still do that till today. I'm like an ice queen. I really don't know how to express genuine emotions to others and I will always get defensive over questions regarding feelings.

True. Burying your emotions will take its toll sooner or later. I am a fine example what it can do to you.

Thus, I am writing here today about this topic, not because I am asking for anyone's help nor do I want anyone's sympathy. I believe, that by writing about this topic and me as the subject, will help me to deal with this disease. It might take a day, a week, a month or forever for me to be free to express my feelings once again but I am here to fight for it. When that day arrives, I want to be able to shout with joy and to say that Yes! I've made it... FINALLY.

*************************************************************************************

~The writer in me ~

I have this sudden urge to write my thoughts and feelings this very morning. Something in my mind has been nagging me to write about this issue.

Contrary to what some people believe, I do NOT write because it's the in thing or because I saw you writing and therefore, I also want to write. You might think that I'm following in the trend because it's glamorous and so on.

Well... Hello there people... I am writing here not because i think I'm the Queen Mother or some fancy smancy smarty people. I write because i love expressing my 2 cents opinions. It might not be informative but what the hell, I am here because i want to!

I never claimed that i luvvvvv writing neither do i want to be some professional writers. I just write because i've been writing diaries since like ages. Now, it's just a change of pastures. Instead of books, i am using electronic methods to commemorate the advancement of our 21st century modernisation of life.

Sighhh... Sometimes people just like to make assumptions. Life is full of @#$%^&**

*************************************************************************************

English ohhh Engrisss...

Below is based on true story yang amat menyayat hati sampai air mata pun tia buli kuar sebab talampau tia buli mo describe bout the feelings... Huhu...

*************************************************************************************
Situation: sms yang tia dikenali
H/phone: Sepa lagi kalo bukan urang yg buat nie crita...

*************************************************************************************

~Moral of the story~

I'm not sure lah if this is an early april fool present or what but instead of laughing, i want to cry sebab engrisss dia sangat menyayat hati. I feel i've failed the society in general sebab buliiii kah ada orang hantar sms bm pun buli salah? Kalo ingrisss tu ok lagi tapi nie bahasa kita sendiri bah. Sedihnyaaaaaa... huhuuuuu...

~ 2009 : DEBT DIET FOR A BETTER ME ~

Woke up by reality and must say that I've been neglecting my finances for far too long. Thus, this year i am declaring the debt diet for a better me ~ Aleanajoan's Style! :)

It's even worst now, what's with our economic situation and all. I might just give up and give me some retail therapy but then again, that might even make it worst.

So here how it goes:

This is a declaration to myself that i will make sure to pay all my debts (credit card especially) on time and i will not stop until I've finished every single cents i owe to them. Might sound harsh, yes i know... Might even sound depraving me of my pleasures of shopping but a woman has to do what a woman must do... Huhu... I only hope i can pull this through and not be tempted to put my hands on those lovely goodies of pleasure! Huhu...

So goodbye shoes, goodbye handbags, goodBYE MAKEUP and HELLO woman of the nature 2009! (Sia mo tinggal di hutan suda nie... huhu...). This is the NEW ME...

*************************************************************************************

~ Moral of the story ~

Kalo shopping tu kan, ingat ingat lah urang susah yang tinggal di afrika (mama sia yg bilang tu tau). Bagus lagi kamurang kasi derma tu handbag, kasut, &%#@* etc sama durang sebab teda juga kamurang guna tu tau. Mummy nampak masi lagi ampai ampai sana lantai nie... Ataupun, kasi mummy lagi bagus... (kuang kuang kuang)

~ Adengan di atas telah dicut sebab tia sanggup dingar lagi tu leteran. Huhu... ~

*************************************************************************************

When you really don't know what to do...

This week has been a very free week. Went to work but did not do a thing! Such an unproductive time (bagus tia payah kerja... hehe... sorry bos!). Hasilnya = Inilah gambar-gambar boring di opis.

Gambar 1 (Time: 8 am) -
Muka masih kiut & ceria. Headphone test 1. Hehe...



Gambar 2 (Time: 8.05am) -
Muka hampir menunjukkan ciri2 bosan sebab aircon talampau sejuk.



Time: 8.06am!!!!
Hasilnya = Muka bosan tahap cipan! :P

Moral of the story ~

Make sure you work yourself to death or else you'll turn into funny-faces-clown of the town! :P

*************************************************************************************

Musing of a confused person...

Felt torn between wanting something or breaking something. Alas, sia rasa bagus makan kfc lah. Kenyang lagi and perut pun enda sakit. Huhu...

Moral of the story :

Next time, just go slow for whatever that you've decided you want in this world. Plus, be careful of what you wish for. You'll never know that it might not even be good for you at all. :D

***************************************************************************************

What does your birthday say about you?

***************************************************************************

After the fever, comes the cough... urrghhh...

I'm feeling much better now. The fever's gone but now comes the agonizing throat singing. Sighh... It's really not cool at all to be getting sick. Being sick brings you to a place where your state of mind plays havoc to your emotions. I really am trying to be positive but it's really hard. Even this morning, i woke up early and felt so down, i cried myself back to sleep.

Thoughts about past moments made me reflects on my past actions. There are some things that i would like to undo and there are some that i would like to forget. It's true that your past actions will haunt you back and karma has a way of sneaking in its revenge when you least expected it. Alas, i am only human and we human do make mistakes. My only comfort is that all the mistakes that i made before has made me into a better and probably a wiser person too. I might wish now to go back to my past and change everything but come to think about it, I'll probably done the same thing all over again.

So cheer up girl... Everyday is a brand new day with brand new experience to be embrace. You might feel down now but that's what chocolate is for, to comfort your mind, body and soul. :D

*************************************************************************************

p/s - the state of mind of this author at the moment is so depressing due to lack of food. It is advisable for everyone to always never to forget to take their breakfast every morning to prevent from ever being in a total mess... :P

Moral of the story -
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get! (si Forest Gump yg bilang, which i think is a very wise words...)

*************************************************************************************

Sick + Enjoy = More pain...

I've learned one thing that there are things that you can't mixed together no matter what. When you are sick tapi ada hati want to karaoke jadinya ka.rau.o.k?

So the moral of the story here kids, kalo suda sakit, makanya buat cara orang sakit. Like my mum said, jangan lah talampau mo enjoy tu girl. Tambah sakit tu nanti. And she's right! :P


***************************************************************************************

Free...

I just want to be free of this constant mind boggling virus in my mind. I want freedom...


*****************************************************************************

Down Memoray Lane...

Feeling sick brings a lot of feelings to the surface, especially unwanted ones. Down memory lane and suddenly i'm thinking of memories that are best left unsaid. I wish i didn't find out and i wish i didn't seek it. Now it's only empty feelings on an empty stomach. :D

Time to eat!

p/s - People who said that it's easier to let go of a person must be nuts! It's really hard for the person who've been let go as well as the person who let that person go. Nothing is easy in this world. Time will heal but the memories will always remain. I hope that person is happy and i hope i will find in my heart the peace that i'm looking for.

***************************************************************************************

High fever is soooo not cool...

Had a bad fever yesterday. It was really bad i thought my nose might bleed. This morning went to see doc and got some medicine.

Now i'm feeling like a brand new person (yg belum mandi sabab my mum said don't mandi kalo sakit... eeeuwww... gonna shower first!).

:D

***************************************************************************************

Straight to the point, pleaseee...

I wonder why some men kan don't say straight to the point what's on their mind? Sometimes my mind just boggle with these kind of craziness... So lain kali, for men out there, just say you want to take the woman out instead of giving multiple choice questions from a to z.

Sighhhh... Just one of the moods on saturday rainy nite. Tido lagi bagus... :D

***************************************************************************************

Lamentation of...

Life can be so unfair at times. You might be the catalyst to the event that might happen and when it did, you're left behind in the ditch. Sighh... I wish that i didn't pursue it cos the possibilities were 1 in a million. Now, since it did happen, the ungratefulness of it left me feeling empty, again! I should have known but i'm too nice. :P

So, let it be. Life can be full of shits...

p/s - I might just turn into an ungrateful one, just for the hell of it! :D

***************************************************************************************

Thinking of you...

Feeling a bit down for a few days now. Missing someone is really not good. Huhu...

************************************************************************

6 Years...

Today is our 6th years anniversary working in this institution. Lot's of things happened. Some are bad but most are good. I hope that me and Jojo will work our butts to the max and try to make a difference in this world. We only live once so let's live life to the fullest!

*************************************************************************************

Thursday is Shophaholic Day!

Hari ini hari malas saya. Saya rasa hari-hari saya selalu malas. Saya malas mo buat kerja. Kerja saya pun malas sama saya. Saya rasa saya malas sebab saya lambat tido. Jadi skarang saya pun mengantuk tapi kalo saya tido nanti boss saya marah sama saya. Oleh itu, saya pikir bagus saya pegi shopping! Horayyyy!!!

Ini lah pengalaman saya yang paling menarik hari ini. Thank you! Hehehe

This piece of **** is courtesy to my dysfunctional mind at the mo. No one was harm during the process of making it. :P

Third times a charm

2008 brought many adventures along the way. One particular momentous adventures was me climbing the Mount Kinabalu, of course... :D I've climbed this mountain twice before when i was younger. Well... since i am still young (:p), I've decided that it will be very meaningful for me to climb it for the third time on the year that I've turned the big 3 + 0... Hahaha... Overall, it's been one hell of adventure and i've decided to never again attempt it in the future (Can't walk straight for nearly two weeks! Yikes!). It was fun, don't get me wrong but it's time for me to find new adventures to toy with. Below are pictures taken during the 2008 action adventure by not so adventurous lady... hehe...

1st pit stop: Pekan Nabalu - the souvenirs' haven



Another reason for stopping - Emergency! :P



Breakfast is a must!




View to kill for...



Smiles for the camera - with our wonderful guide

Will be back with part 2. More pictures on my mission to conquer Mount Kinabalu.


************************************************************************************

Tuesday is the new Monday...

Seriously, this week is quite tough especially in the morning. Unlike my other friends, i find it hard to wake up early in the morning and be as chirpy as a gay bird. Hell... the birds outside are much more happier that i feel like shooting them! (Sorry mother nature... I do really love animals but not 'that' early in the morning).

Anyway, finished official duties for the day and now it's time for some quality blogging. Hehe...

***************************************************************************************

Fashion & Beauty Products Galore!

I've decided to build a shrine to one of my all time favourite subjects... Fashion & Beauty Products. Wohooo... I've always been a girly girl by heart even though i once behaved in such a tomboyish manner. Hehe...

So from time to time, I will be the unofficial amateur guide in the pursuit of every woman's dream (and especially mine!) in order to discover the ultimate beauty product, for the good of all mankind (more precisely, my good... :D)

****************************************************************************************

Me Birthday...

I know this is kind of late but what the heck, it's my blog anyway. For my viewing pleasure (vain, i know), these are pictures taken from my recent birthday bash. It's rather small but I'm just plain happy I've celebrated it with my great girlfriends. To Suzzie @ Jojo, Pammy and Esther @ Amoi, thanks for making it a really memorable day for me. You guys are the best!

My birthday bubur chacha... makes me want to cha cha cha... :P



Food will always be a girl's best friend
(Notice the over flowing of food. We really need another table! :P)

p/s ---> Suzi's not here in the pics cos she's the one who took these peeps above. Hehe... Sori lah jo... :D

New Year, New Me!

It seems that I've been making a habit of writing once a year in this blog. Hahaha... I'm laughing at my own craziness. ;D

Actually, I've been very, very busy with my life in 2008 that i really don't have the time and strength to write in my own blog. Sigh! I know, i know... I'm guilty as hell but at least it's a brand new year with brand new resolutions to complete. :P (In my case, i make sure i only have less than 10 resolutions each year - based on personal experience and plain sheer laziness! :D)

2008... Oh how a year past me by just like that. Lot's of personal events occurred in my life. Friends come and go, boyfriends come and go, age comes and goes... Yikes! This one particular matter really can't be helped so might as well accept the facts of life.

One thing I've learned from 2008 is that i am much more stronger than I've ever been. I've always been intimidated by people, events, decisions, etc. I guess it's all the process of growing up and i am one now. I've woken up from my deep slumber to become someone that I'm proud of. I know what i want in life, i believe in myself and i will not let myself be dictate by anyone but me. Gosh! I'm full of positive energy!

So, goodbye 2008 (sorry, a month too late) and hello 2009!
