today...not much updates about me, except i have a huge exam on friday, which i am not ready for. i didn't study yet!
i went to this dinner at friends house, though i didn't feel like going, but i did anyways. i am tired and i just want to sleep.
but i would like to share some photos that i took in past 2 weeks. purpose!? hoping would be a inspiration for you to sit back, relax and enjoy your "mE" time [:

a new morning [:

updates on life in this new year of 2012!
this new year has changed me in new ways! i feel peaceful. i am enjoying the quietness of life. i feel calm and positive. is it the new year, or my perspective towards life is changing? either way, i am trying to appreciate the life i have, and life is appreciating me for showing it respect. i know there will be days i will hate the whole world, me and everything. i will be pissed off and negative. we all go thru those days, more or less, often or rarely.
still, life is pretty. and we lear and teach our selves to get up, pull together and get going. i hope you do the same.
hold yourself tight with love when feel like giving up on life, sorrows and negativity.
i am enjoying the winter, grasping all the sun that comes through my little window... enjoying my 1 more week off from work, trying to finish my short term winter semester class. and i hope to enjoy along with you(who ever you are viewing and reading my blog), my family, friends, and neighbors. uploading a photo of me and my sunny window of this new year. will be back soon with this DIY coaster that i made to share with you guys :]

... and an evening window photo as well!
