Life is great! But how do you measure what's great and what's not? How do we measure the good, bad, and great? Everyone standards are different. But is there a universal guideline as to which we measure things? I'm not talking about metric or customary measurements in math. I'm talking about the measurements we make in life.
Ever wonder why some people would think it's a perfect day when there's no cloud in sight. Or how about why it's a gloomy day when it's cloudy? Some people might think the opposite. A clear day might mean too much sun for some people and they tend to stay away from the light. A cloudy day might mean rain. Don't get me wrong, I sometimes LOVE the rain! But most people would hate the rain for getting them drenched and whatnot.
I don't know why but all of a sudden, it occurred to me that the only universal language (well that I know of) that everyone seems to understand or agree on is "YES" and "NO" with the head shaking. Have you ever seen someone trying to say "Yes" with their head shaking side to side or saying "No" with their head bobbing up and down? I never seen that unless of course you're trying to make an illogical point.
Is there a universal language? Is there one where everyone will understand without ever having to learn it?
But anyways, this was on my mind for the past few days. I figured I should just write all this down. And now that's out of my system, I feel very relieved and something lessen my load. It just bothers me that I have to get it out of my system.
There should be more but I don't know what it is. I'll probably find out in the future and write it down just like this.
Have a good day! :)

Just realized....
hmmm looks like i haven't even blogged for a year....usually it's like a few posts a year...looking back at 2013 made me think....
What have I done this past year? Anything worth appreciating? Anything that I was proud of? Anything that I might have been happy or excited about?
The answers to those questions is simple: nothing.
Ever since the start of this new job, I've been thinking alot and reading some interesting articles. I realized that I'm not doing enough. Enough for me to be content about my self. I just wish that lazy bone in me doesn't take over. There are many things out there for me to do and explore. I wasted precious time just doing what I want. I should be doing something about this but I don't have that kind of willpower.
Things I should be doing:
1) CLEANing my room :) (I don't get why can't I have my room the way it is. I mean I know where everything is)
2) THROW away old clothes. (usually i would just recycle them or donate them or reuse the fabric for other mending projects, but do I really even do any of the mending that is needed?)
3) SAVE any spare change I have. (I have a bad urge to spend any money lying around in my bag. Shopaholic? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? I don't know)
4) DONATE to any charity of my choice. (well usually I donate to certain organizations. But nowadays, I donate to everything that I think deserves it! ^_^)
but will I ever do any of those things I should be doing? 70% of me says NO, while that 30% of me says maybe/yes. The more I think about it the more and more I become lazy and in the end not do anything.

UNESCO World Teachers’ Day 2012
First of all, Happy World Teacher's Day to all teachers. I, myself am a teacher for an after-school academy and Saturday math teacher as well. I understand the hectic and stressful times as a teacher. I just want to say Thank You to all my teachers of the present, past and future. Cause I'm back in school going for my second degree. I appreciate the kindness of the teachers when I miss class cause of sudden happenings.
Many students today should say thank you to their teachers. They should behave better than before and show that they respect them. Here's more information on World Teacher's Day.
World Teachers’ Day, held annually on October 5th since 1994 - when it was created by UNESCO - celebrates teachers worldwide. Its aim is to mobilize support for teachers and to ensure that the needs of future generations will continue to be met by teachers.

Too busy to care...
From that title, you can tell I probably missed something important and had just received the news. Well seriously, school just started and I'm already way too busy to care. What I'm talking about is CNN's breaking news title, "U.S. Senate passes bill to fund federal government for 6 months, putting off a shutdown. Bill now goes to president."
Okay, okay so I was out of the loop for a while. I wouldn't even have known if my sister's iPhone didn't 'ping' a message on the screen. I'm currently charging her phone for her so that's why it interested me in the first 'ping' sounded.
Is our government really in bad shape? I know the economy is still bad but I was hoping that it will steadily become better as time goes by.
Because of the economy, I went back to school. I'm currently studying to get my Master's degree hopefully by 2014. I would like a full-time steady job too but so far, all my applications came back to being rejected. Oh wells, I guess that my part-time will have to do. I do however, hope to get a raise soon if possible.
I'm supposed to be asleep right now so i can get up early tomorrow to go to work but i decided to check e-mails and check the blogs. I'm glad other people blog every so often so i can read about their lives and dreams. Unlike me, who only blogs whenever a fast train of thought hits me and I want to get it out before my mind goes blank.
Done! Finished with all that I had to say :)
(seriously, i was just bored) ha ha ^_^

Somethings aren't meant to be....
Okay so far, I have only completed one thing on my new years resolution list.
1) Get a new job! <- this is a must! must get one so i can achieve the rest of the things i want
2)Get a smartphone! <- hopefully I can get one before April (YES! I finally got a smart phone! ^_^)
3) Get iPad 1 or 2
4) Get my own personal blender (blue oster)
5) Get my Olympus (3000, 6000, or 8000) tough in blue
6) Get a new double-insulated ski jacket (a North Face or Columbia one)
Hopefully I can finish the rest of the goals by the end of the year! ^_^
Anyways, I went back to school this semester. I'm currently going for my second undergrad degree in Computer Science. I'm going to change that title once i have a few more comp sci classes under my belt to getting my Master in Comp Sci. At first, it seems ridiculous for me to go back to school, but as I attended class, I felt that my goals in life was too simple.
I mean my long-fetch goals are something that might gradually happen in the next few years. But I'm not young anymore. I thought I would always become a mother at the age of 30 or so but this seems very far now. As I think back to the days in high school, where there was no worries, very carefree, and only needed to get good grades in school. I miss those days. Going back to school made me realize why I had insist on finishing college fast. I didn't like the fact of going to class and sit there and listen to the professors talk for a hour or more.
Now as I attend class, I realized I had wasted time. I should have just finished school as early as possible and found a steady job afterwards. But my laziness got in the way and it led me to where I am now. I hope that I can just finish this degree up fast! I really hate going into classes which I don't have interested in. Of course Im not talking about comp sci. Im talking more about the required math classes that comes with it. I mean, they had to make me take calc 2 when they can figure out that i havent touch calc1 since 7 years ago. How am I supposed to go through calc 2 without even knowing calc 1 again.
If I can have a wish that can come true this instant, I really would wish that I can have a full-time job instead. I can still take classes at night or online but seriously, this thing about going back to school has made me realized how free I was when I graduated and had no job.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I recently got a call from a company asking if I was available to start full-time immediately from Mon-Fri 9am - 5pm or 8am - 4pm. I was very happy for that few minutes. I asked if I can start after May, but they needed someone immediately. I was disappointed. I mean, am I supposed to take the job and quit my classes when there's only like a month left of school? I paid my tuition for school and I don't want to waste the money. So my question to myself was, should I have even gone back to school? or just get a part-time until I find a full-time? I really was tempted to take the job that was offered. I even asked them if they had a summer job available. They said they will let me know if they had anything. :sigh:
Life is like this. Sometimes it comes at the right time and sometimes it comes at the worse times. I really hope I can finish what I started.
Writing this all out really lessen the stress I have been having. I also realized that I write this blog only 4-5 times a year. Haha I even reread what I wrote on past posts and feel that I really do use this as a stress-reliever. I think this is one thing thats good about this blog. There's no pressure in what you write and it's always here. :)

Happy New Year! ^_^
Happy New Year Everyone!
Well, my birthday this year was a blast! My sisters and friends went to D&B's to celebrate it with me and I felt so happy!!! :)
I didn't get the things I wanted for my birthday but I did make a big step towards having a complete set of angry birds! ^_^ haha I'm only missing a few now...that big red one (not the small red) which can destroy many blocks, the eagle like one, and I think there's one more I dun remember.
Anyways, my new years resolutions have been adding up since I was listing things down. (of course it includes shopping and buying things too!)
1) Get a new job! <- this is a must! must get one so i can achieve the rest of the things i want
2) Get a smartphone! <- hopefully I can get one before April
3) Get iPad 1 or 2
4) Get my own personal blender (blue oster)
5) Get my Olympus (3000, 6000, or 8000) tough in blue
6) Get a new double-insulated ski jacket
now for the long-fetch goals
1) Find a place for me and my sisters
2) Get a car
3) Find enough money for my parents
4) Travel the world
5) Experience bungee-jumping, para-gliding, and skydiving
Just looking at these goals make me feel like a loser. I dun even know when I'll ever be able to accomplish these things....
Lets all hope for the best in the coming new year! :)
