Remember that upsetting event that happened last January and I wrote about it in my previous post saying that I would like to correct it. I had an opportunity to do so and guess what, I have done it! I did it. I can't reveal what exactly it was but I am really happy.

All I can say is that I screwed things up last Jan due to my laziness. I am not saying that I am not lazy anymore, but I worked a lil more this time, and made it. So, I have to thank God and my parents for all the support.

Anyways, that's all I have for now.
For those very few, special readers of my blog out there (if there are any!), have a great weekend!

I'm back!

Yes, I am. I am a little surprised that this is my first post in a long long time, almost a year now.
Given the amount of time I spend online daily, I should be posting everyday. Anyways, that should be one of my new year resolutions. To blog more often.

Happy new year,by the way. I know that it's a little too late, but it's the thought that counts :), rite?

Now, 2010 was an interesting year for me. Met a lotta new people, spent time experimenting on quite a few things, spent a lot of time in front of the TV and laptop and most importantly, didn't quite realize any of my resolutions for that year. So, in an attempt to sort of look back at what I had done last year, and learn from my mistakes, here are a few experiences that I went through.Hoping that I would learn from them. (I would most probably be very vague on the events, reason being not to embarrass myself)

1. Had a setback/upsetting event early on in January itself. It was an expected result of my laziness and 'selamba' attitude and hoping to correct it asap.

2.I got sick. Really sick. And, I recovered. But, getting really ill (not talking about something minor, like flu) made me realize who would be there for me no matter what. It opened my eyes and that was sort of humbling and encouraging. I also have a new found respect, I mean I have always respected nurses, but after this experience my respect for them has just heightened. It's truly amazing to see the amount of patience and tolerance they put out there to help strangers.
On a sort of a cooler note, I was "allowed" to rest for almost a month. What I mean by 'allowed' is that, I was able to just sleep the whole day or not do anything productive without being scolded. Now, that was very nice :)

3.I read "The Last Lecture". In fact, that was probably the one and only book that I read that whole year. Pathetic, I know. But, I was surprised by how much I liked it. I did expect myself to enjoy it but as I went on reading it, I ended up loving it. It's not fiction, but more of bits and pieces of the life of Randy Pausch, the professor who has past away. This book is more of the life lessons that he would like to pass on to his young children. And trust me, it's totally applicable for any one of us. For more on him and his book, check this out : "The Last Lecture".

So, that's just a few things from 2010 but I am hoping for a better, happier and more peaceful 2011 ahead for all of us. That's all for now, chao!

P.S : New year, so new layout! I love it, btw. :D
