Final stretch

At the beginning of the year, I longed for the end of the year. During that time, I didn't feel like I had any close friends, confidants, or just a social circle in general--in other words, I felt like a loner. But now, one month till the end of the year, my life has been enriched in so many ways that I can not even begin to count. A support circle of friends and co workers that I never thought possible, a wonderful job that will hopefully lead to more wonderful things in an economy that isn't doing too well, a sister that I can tell ANYTHING to, a brother that I can torture to my fancy, and parents that are supportive in my decisions--not to mention the cute CHB that works next door. Words such as "thankful," "grateful," can not even begin to measure my gratitude and the satiation that I feel.

Thanks. I hope this feeling will continue to last for a while

Guilty Pleasures

A few things that I have done recently have brought me a good amount of pleasure. However, occasionally when I look back and think a little about my actions, I feel slightly guilty. I am currently trying to convince myself that these acts were justified and all is well. Hehe. Lucky me indeed. *grins*

There is a fact that I have slowly come to accept and be okay with lately, and that is: I don't have to trust everyone who claims that they are my friend. I use to trust really easily, but then in result, I also get hurt really easily, and especially when such or said things include money, and the friendship doesn't necessarily turn out well, then its a double whammy. I don't really know why and where I am going with this current strain of thought, but thought it'd be nice to throw it out there--kind of like the pensive in the HP books. Hopefully after I throw this in that darn pensive, I won't have to think about it for a while.

ANYWAYS, year 2008, seems already to be living up to its potential of being a really good year. Though occasionally there are a few downs here and there and its only the 14th day, but hopefully these small setbacks will soon be negligible. This is said due to the fact that midterms haven't yet happened nor finals, so I can still poke fun about them. Anyways, back to reality and maybe next time my string of thoughts will be more coherent.
