Be grateful.

Instead of always hoping for more, thinking that you're disadvantaged, you'll find yourself a lot happier if you're willing to take the time to appreciate and be grateful with what you already have. Today while waiting for my mom after the audit presentation i saw this girl standing by the other pillar, and she was on crutches. not sure why but it didn't look like any leg injury, so i'm guessing it's something she has to live with :( when her car was here, she slowly made her way towards it, down the step and into the car after the driver pushed the door open for her. sigh. i wonder to myself how she would feel. how to not feel sad when her friends can all run and hop around; how to cope with the weird stares she might get; how to not feel bad for troubling people who care for her; how to still stay strong and not give up on her dreams. and then i figured, maybe all it takes is just to be appreciative of what we have. when you think you're lacking something, you're always also having something extra on the other hand...which you might have overlooked.

done with two assignments for the semester, four more to go! and i have to say i really enjoyed the process of both the assignments. doesn't really matter that we don't turn out to be the best, we've really tried our best. thank you to all the lovely group members who made the whole thing so much less stressful for me. all the positive energy you gave really means something to everyone in the group.

don't think i'll even remember that i'm actually on a sem break if i don't remind myself so x)
