Meeting new people

For the past few days, I've met some very awesome people. It's been awhile that I didn't talk to people like them. UCO rocks!

Why make plans?

Time passed, things changed.

I'm not sure if my dream of going to China would come true next year summer. Different people has different perception towards many things. So far, I may have many options of doing many things or how am I gonna lead my future life. But which one is best for me. No one have the answer for this.

I'm used to a person who have planning for everything before I actually do it. You may call me a perfectionist who would like things to go the way I demand. My organizer is always with me wherever I go. I dislike when the time I have no idea what I'm gonna do for tomorrow.

In social circumstances, people have conversation with people. The most common question would be "hey, how are you?", "What you gonna do later?". Many people would say "I don't know what I'm gonna do later?". Well, you don't even know you gonna have dinner later? or you'll be staying at home and watch movie?

Saying "Don't know" would not be my preference words.

Yes, it is hard to predict what is gonna happen tomorrow. But plannings are greatly important in our daily life. Without proper planning, your life might be a little bit mess up or disorganized - overwhelmed schedule, unclear vision. These would cause people unnecessary worries of how life is gonna be tomorrow. In contrary, too much planning may cause you frustration because things do not go the way you expected.

So, why make plans?

Let's goes with the flow.

The frustration of not getting what I want in life leading me to stop making plans for my future. I had enough of those frustration and I should learn to be more relaxing since I'm still a student.

However, you might be a little bit late catching up with the pace of the industrious world if you always slack at home and do nothing - waiting your friends to call you, asking you out for a movie, going out for a party. The motivation of having a initiative personality plays a huge role in the society. We should have the initiation to think what can we do after we graduate, what's my annual salary so that what kind of life style I can have, how much extra money I can have for traveling, nice cars, houses, jewelry and unnecessary stuffs - materialistic freak!
Well, that's nowadays life!

Perfectionism makes my life perfectionistly ordinary!

Washington DC is somehow a very nice and memorable place to visit for ONLY tourists. People who live there hate walking around DC and even driving to DC. Because there are not many packing spaces and the traffic is terribly horrible especially during rush hours. My uncle and my aunt brought me to DC and unfortunately they've got a fine ticket which costs $100. Ouchh! Because we didn't know that we can't park there anymore after 4pm.

My uncle and I have something in common. Probably I've got this from him. We both like taking photos, not just taking photo of us but beautiful scenes. I like taking photo from different angle and see how does this building look differently from a several different angles. Just like life, people may somehow find they way out of troubles by seeing things from a different angle. Photos are the same. The original building may not looking good, but if you know how to snap it by the side. It looks fantastically gorgeous on my camera. Dang it, I need to get a SLR Canon. =P No money right now.

Walking alone again in DC was great. I don't have to create conversation with my uncle and aunt since I'm not together with them. All I have to do was just follow my heart and do what I like. Sometimes, I'll do stupid thing if I'm alone all by myself. Such as, making a circle inside the museum and I have no idea why did I do that. I worried what if someone notice what I've done. Loitering?!

I enjoyed walking and walking by myself because I can observe what people do in those kind of tourism places. I saw parents talking to their children and explaining why were they walking around Lincoln Memorial under the HOT sun. There were also parents yelling and screaming at their children, lecturing, arguing, staring at their children. I saw couples hugging and kissing in the middle of White House. I saw so-called professional photographer taking good angle of photos - that's why I always approach them for helping me to take photos. I saw people jogging, running, playing baseball and cycling. I saw people slacking on the bench and talking to whoever pass by them. I saw people with Tuxedo walking around with their working laptop bags. I saw people from numerous of countries - 85% dark chocolate, 75% dark chocolate, 55% chocolate, half & half dark and milk chocolate and very milk chocolate. The melting pot of everything.

I really enjoy seeing all these diversity. I enjoy listening to different people speaking different accent of English.

Isn't fascinating?

The only thing I hate traveling by myself is I don't have a friend to take photo with me. =(

Tremendous Travel TIPS***

receipts and any other momentos which you love to keep.

People, you gonna check with the hotel rates approximately once in every 2 days
because hotel rates can be changes anytime. When you know the rate has been
reduced,you may cancel the first time and make a new reservation.

~ Write HOME!
Do inculcate a habit of getting postcards wherever you travel. Your friends and
family would love to know where the heck are you while you are having tons of fun
and they are still stuck at their same old/dull place. =)

What should I do?

Well, well, well~~
Should I go NYC during Thanksgiving? or should I go Washington DC in August? Actually I'll be quite certain if of going all these places if I dont have to go travel next year in summer. I might have miss going to all these places if I'm going before I graduate because I'm not sure if I'm staying in the States.

There are a plenty of options for MBA right now. Difficult to decide.

Sorry to life

Sorry for many things !

Life is always unpredictable. Sometimes its hard to believe what are you seeing right now. You can never know what is right and what is wrong, not probably until you deal with something that beyond your expectation. No one knows how long it takes to heal a broken heart but a smile will always do. A cheerful personality would cure it all too! Be positive and always looking forward.

Only look back when you need to learn from it, not digging out the unnecessary stuffs. It will only make you more and more depress.

MJ 1958 - 2009

"The biggest shinning star in the universe is not shinny anymore. This is the saddest news."

The above statement was what I read on the New York Times when I woke up this morning. Micheal Jackson died in the age of 50. Indeed, this is a very shocking news to me. But I don't think he is not shinny anymore. No matter where he goes, his music, his passion, his talent and his voice would be still staying around with us. Because people cherish him and adore him. Micheal was a legend to the pop music world. His music was loved by people all around the world between the age range of 8 to 80.

Although I'm not a huge fan of Micheal Jackson, I do understand that all the things he has done managed to give countless of inspiration and encouragement for those who have a passion of music. Somehow he is not only a performer, but he is a uniter of black and white races' music. Because of him, the distance between black and white began to trim down.

Beat it! He is a LEGEND!
