it goes on.

There is a saying, "The pain you've suffered, you will get equal the amount in happiness"

Though I don't exactly believe that saying, I think the most remarkable quality in humans is the ability to have hope. That once you've hit rock bottom, there's no where to go but up. When life gives you lemons, you make something with lemons =P [insert more idioms about resilience and tenacity here]

When you're at your worst, that's when you give the opportunity to people close to you to step up and lend you a helping hand. You appreciate those that are good to you when they could've been bad/indifferent. You see those that choose to be with you when they could've just ask easily walked away.

For everyone who has ever helped me smile and laugh, no matter if there was a falling out in the end, I thank you. You have helped me get to where I am today. It's sad to lose friends, but sometimes I guess it can't be helped. Just know that no matter what, I'll be here when you need me too.

As times goes by...

I wish I were more eloquent. I never know what to say, or if I did have something to share, it'd come out in a big jumble that falls disturbingly short of what I was trying to express. I envy those who can say and describe things in a manner that expresses exactly what they're experiencing and precisely what they mean, painting a brilliant picture for their audience. After four years of mindnumbing business school, I think I've essentially sacrificed my ability to vividly communicate (making up new phrases or new context of words) in order to communicate "effectively". And in a sense, I feel like it has dulled my shine a bit; I feel almost boring...beige...bland. I hate this feeling.

Studying for the cpa exam is totally cramping my style. I honestly can't wait until it's behind me. I hate feeling so lackluster. I need to go skydiving or something. Who wants to jump off of something (with some safety harness) with me after my last exam?

the beauty of the past belongs to the past...

A lot can happen in a year. New Year's Eve is a day where we're supposed to take some time out from our hectic lives to reflect on the past year and look forward to the coming year. Usually, I make a list of resolutions, which end up lasting for about 3 weeks and then are forgotten. So I will only have one resolution this year and I hope that I can keep this one:

1. be happy.

at a shabu shabu place with fam -

me: there's a dumb waiter!
sis: nina, that's not nice!

sis: [looks behind her and sees chrome dumbwaiter] OH! HAHA I seriously thought you were pointing at our waiter.
me: [smacks forehead with open palm]
mom: i agree with gracie, who knows what a small elevator is called...

haha, my fam is so cute.

the calm before the storm....

I can never bring myself to prepare for finals. It's crunch-time but I'm still procrastinating. It's hard because I want to hang out with all my friends who are graduating now;  some of which I will probably never (or hardly ever) see ever again (*ahem* ibankers, people moving away, etc). There just isn't enough time. I just want time to freeze.

If i could have a super power, it would be to control time (like Adam Sandler's remote in the movie, "Click"). That way, every beautiful moment could be relived or extended, every sad moment could be erased or "fast-forwarded". But life isn't that convenient. You have to take the good with the bad.

Time is relative. How else do you explain how the last few minutes of class can take forever and how having fun with friends you love can be over in a blink of an eye?

So cherish the time you do have. At the end of the day, be able to say, "I have no regrets." If you can do that, that's the greatest feeling in the world.

And with that, study-time!
