So the holiday has officially begun. I could definitely use the next whole week to relax and reflect. Beside, i will start working on the content of my newsletter and the plan for my company's intranet. Sounds boring huh, but it needs to be done. Also prepare for myself as well as the activity plan for the 11 months left of 2009.
Watching America's Next Top Model right now. Borrowed these DVDs from e Nghia since last year and I'm nowhere in the middle of it. Ox also gave me a bunch of movies to live horizontally with, through the holiday. Tyra is really successful with this show. It has been copied to 120 countries, kinda like American Idol. Tedious at the beginning with so many models but it gets better after a while.
i found out an amazing thing today. My leq@uci.edu email still works :) how nice huh... i can use it i guess. I like it so much (short and simple) but thought it was disabled 3 months after graduation... Such small surprise makes me happy.. In the end, happiness is really about having the unexpected.. Is happiness about having the cherry, not the cake?
I've been questioning my career/life path lately (even though I'm so busy, it still comes up at the end of the day). I've found so much happiness in my work; however, at the same time, it's the unseen torture of the job that leaves me vulnerable. I have grown to realize how self-destructive I really am, and how I let blurred all the positive side of everything. When doing anything, the more I try, the more stressed and negative I've become no matter how good the result is. I don't seriously view myself as a failure all the time, but most of the time, I'm too critical to really enjoy... things to their fullest. With the new OX year upon me, I've updated my new-year resolutions to become more positive and realize life's biggest pleasures:
1. Eat slower
2. Be honorable. Know when to walk away. Know not to take less than I deserve.
3. Be careful when making promises with friends so I can keep them
4. Take a short-term course whatever it is that helps me go forward with my career (tentative: brand manager)
5. Shop less, save more
6. Take up on any sport or dancing again. Exercise often so i can stay strong and healthy.
7. Avoid making "the face" to my Ox LL & my family
8. Arrange entertainment items for parents, such as their 25th wedding anniversary party in December
9. Go to Thailand with Mom
10. Remember birthdays and send flowers /gifts / cards
