“Everything in life is connected somehow. You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.”

Be Happy Where You Are

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. These obstacles are life. There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

alright, that's about it.

below are some sweets I received for Xmas:

01. Coach Wristlet: hehe from the sweet couple, my bosses. I always love the two of them because they are really nice people. They are very flexible and really accommodate to my busy school schedule :')

02. Philips ear-piece: gift exchange received from the Ohanas. my ear piece broke down and this came in handy. still not used to in-ear plugs though haha. nice color!!

03. Market book: got this for gift exchange from lewis :) since I didn't have a planner and decided not to waste any $ on a new scheduler. I drew the calendar up myself inside. my 2012 planner!

04: S100: came in a surpriseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. love this so much, not as much as i love the person :p anyway, managed to sell away my old cam! yippee.

05: Don't sweat the small stuff by Richard Carlson: this is not a gift. I picked it up from from the book shelf at my 2nd workplace, belongs to my sup. It's an interesting book, really reminds me to live in a calmer and less stressful way, and be able to let go of our problems.

"Look for the extraordinary in the ordinary"
The truth is, we see in life what we want to see. if you search for ugliness you'll find plenty of it. If you want to find fault with other people, your career, or the world in general, you'll certainly be able to do so. But the opposite is also true. If you look for the extraordinary in the ordinary, you can train yourself to see it. it's all a matter of intention.

There's so much to be grateful for, so much to be in awe about. Life is precious. Put your attention on this fact and little, ordinary things will take on a whole new meaning.

There are so many more inspirations rules/essay inside, will share some of my favorites again!

Happy New Year! May 2012 be a blessed and great year for you! :)
