| What color is your parachute?
Mine is golden, ofcourse. Lately, I find myself a) unsettled, b) unfulfilled, c) finding myself. A little over a year ago, there was a guy who had asked me what my honest opinion of him was. I told him I thought he was searching for contentment. I think that answer caught him off guard. As a matter of fact, I'm quite sure of it. Judging from our conversation that night, he probably thought I'd sum him up with the adjective, depressed or unhappy, and he probably would have accepted that without objection. But I suspect that when I threw out contentment, a light bulb went off. He said I was absolutely correct in tone as if he were suddenly enlightened. I was pleased to have been able to help a friend realize that he wasn't really unhappy, but just not quite content - I do believe happiness and contentment are not one in the same. I felt even more gratification from knowing that my friend didn't have to spend another day in the dark, but could actually focus on finding a path to his inner peace. Now, a little over a year later, I find myself in the same situation as my friend. How did I get so lost again? Anyways, as my New Year's Resolution, I propose to do the things that make me the happiest: 1. Volunteering, 2. Reading, 3. Building my net worth (more like re-building it), 4. Spending time outdoors, 5. Hanging out w/ friends, 6. Traveling | | |
| If anyone still xangas... lolI feel so down. Overwhelmed. Almost depressed.  I'm really struggling to not let it affect me in any way, although, I'm positive it has.
Solution: Join Habitat for Humanity!
I'm afraid to take that leap. I don't know anyone in the network, but I'm sure it'll be great once the ice is broken and I'm actively participating. I imagine it'll be similar to the feeling that people get when they don't feel like going to go to the gym, but then that positive attitude and sense of accomplishment creeps in once they complete the work out. *I'm also thinking about getting a gym membership for the first time in my life, but that'll have to be another story for another time.*
My reason for picking habitat for humanity: I wanted to give back to the community, and I thought the skills that I acquired from renovating my own house would greatly benefit Habitat for Humanity.
Also, this is with a little inspiration from Jihye. I want to help people learn to read. There's a literacy program at libraries that I too, would like to get involved with. Jihye reads to elementary students every so often, and I just think the world of her for doing that.
Now I have to hold myself accountable and follow through! Hopefully, soon enough, I'll be too busy to feel bad for myself.

| Neglect. Estrangement. Might As Well Be Abandonment!Umm, yeah. It might be obvious that I've neglected my xanga, myspace, and facebook (albeit not as much as the aforementioned two). Here's the reason why:
Being the hypochondriac that I am, there's a disease/condition for everything. This time, I have self-diagnosed myself with what I like to call the Cave Syndrome. I guess I've holed myself up for the better part of the winter, but with reason. Maybe not good reason, but with reasonable reasons. And those reasons are:
