blah blah blah

I've been very, very busy lately, which is mainly why I haven't updated this blog for a while. It's just that things get so crazy at work sometimes. Our manager required us to work 12 hours a day this week. Though I wouldn't agree to such an arrangement under normal circumstances, I also realize that this is our last week for the project that we've been working our asses off for. I'm really proud of the work that I've put into this project and though I don't expect to be given a Nobel prize for it, I think we deserve a bit of recognition. I'm also very happy due to the fact that this project would certainly look good in my resume. hehe.

Work aside, my life is pretty good. I realize that I find joy in the simplest things in life. Last Sunday, my boyfriend and I went to the gym. We spent a good 2 hours just making "landi". It was fun. ^_^ I know that he would not admit that it was nice, I know that he had as much fun as I did. Ü This brings me to the question, what really makes a person happy? I've been reading The Zahir by Paulo Coelho, which was mainly about freedom and happiness. Now that I ask myself if what makes me happy, I think it's just being with the people you love, whom you know love you back. Well, about freedom, I honestly have never felt that I was being supressed of my freedom. I've always felt free to do things I wanna do. Though I consult a lot of people before making any major decision, it's still my decision to make. And at the end of the day, I still have the final say.

Stress. What I hate most is how people underestimate me. Yes, I am a bit on the introverted side, but you know what? I have my moments. And though I don't speak out my thoughts (yeah, yeah I know it's something I should work on), it doesn't mean that I'm an airhead. Hey, I graduated with a degree in Economics. And though I didn't exactly graduate Cum Laude, I still made it. I passed my comprehensive exams in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Economic Development and International Economics. Not to mention our thesis. Academics is not everything, I know. But because of my education, I am a lot of things. What can you say about yourself?
