Things really are different when you're happier. You look different, you sound different (well ok...that's pretty much obvious)...and even the way you chat seems way more chirpy (apparently). I never did realize that until coming back home over the summer and having close friends saying how I seem much happier with my life now. I have to say they couldn't be more RIGHT!
Last semester was a total chaos for me. Not only was I depressed most weekends, but half of my mind was always occupied with worries that I could have done very much without. Back then getting up and putting up a happy demeanor was simply exhausting...and once everything just fell apart I went from tired to seriously almost nearing nervous breakdown (or maybe I did). The slightest thing made me cry, which of course surprised those closest to me and just made them worry especially since they weren't somewhere nearby. Well whatever it is...I'm just glad that episode is over and good riddance to it.
I guess this semester have got to be the best. For once, I actually decided to take things slow and easy without a stick up my arse. Yeah...there were times when all those tests and deadlines were killing me, but nothing huge or crazy. I'm glad I had all those people around me this semester to actually keep all the cheer - both new and old. As for those who mean a lot to me in ISU...well no names need to be mentioned. You guys know who you are =)
And...that slight dip in my grade...TOTALLY WORTH IT! (I know it sounds crazy coming from me...even for me)

Happiness!
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
I'm exhausted! The only reason I'm actually blogging is because I can't get my butt out of bed. Work was pretty interesting today. Went on field for the first time, since Terry thinks that it's time I learned something other than sit at the office and make calls the whole day. Mom thought that meant I was going into some jungle, forgetting the fact that this daughter of hers is unfortunately not the outdoor, jungle trekking, mud loving kind of person. I've had enough of that growing up and going on those office-family outings.
Anyway back to what I was saying...
Meeting up with potential clients really is interesting. I only wished that I've already had the time to buy myself new pair of shoes. My heels practically killed me. Every time I managed to sit down, I was just so relieved that my poor feet had time to rest. Plus walking down the stairs and uneven roads/sidewalks is a real challenge. Anyway, I had to deal talking to one of the most unfriendliest people ever. Enough to make me not ever wanting to work in the sales department involving this kind of industry.
No...no...no...I still love my major. I'm still not going to consider changing it. I just wished that I got the chance to practice French over the summer. I guess I should start practicing with Andrew K. If only I had the time to go for French classes here. I just feel that soon I'm gonna end up staying at the office til late.
*Urgh* I had better get my lazy butt out of bed. Need to get started with work. Deadline...deadline...

Saturday Is Not For Work
So it's a Saturday and here I am sitting at my desk in the office. Mosquito bitten, over dressed (I didn't know Saturday meant we could wear t-shirts and bermuda pants) and not even 9am I'm already looking forward to 1pm when I get off work and head home for an afternoon of shopping and later a 'righteous' nap (ZiTing, 2009)
I really can't wait to hang out with a new bunch of people Jo introduced to me last night. If it's going to be anything like last night, then I'm definitely sure that it's forecasting to be an absolutely awesome Saturday night. That, coupled with the probability of meeting the ever so hyper Ms Phoon is enough for me to cancel going back to Edna's for the weekend and just meet up for lunch/dinner sometime tomorrow. Hahaha...
Yesterday evening was simply what I needed after a long week. I'm glad we ditched the idea of Angels and Demons and just hung out at TGIF almost the whole evening. I can't remember the last time I've had so much fun hanging out with a really funny mixed crowd. All those tales and funny antics was really just the best dosage to help me kick off my weekend and look forward to tonight. Thanks to Camille, I'm definitely going to Zouk just to see how he can transform from RAWR! to Purrrrrr....
Well that's a whole day planned and it's 9am so it's time to start work - a whole pile of handbook contract.

The Small Things...
It's not the big gestures I crave,
