You Can't Always Get What You Want (Really?)
There are certain points in your life when you really want to achieve something for your own sake. It could be something related to your academic life, career, love life or even for self-actualization purposes; there are times when you feel that you need to make an accomplishment in order to add value to yourself. When you really want something so bad, in some ways you’ll make extra effort...

Talking Today (And The Dream That's Been...
About six years ago, I used to be a very narrow-minded person; I didn’t open myself to various options life offered me. If I wanted A, then I’ve got to have A. No matter how big it would cost me, or no matter how bad A was for me. Or no matter how good the other choices like B, C and D that came over, I would work my ass off to get A in the palm of my hand. I was born a hard-worker, so...

So true, it reminds me of what my boss said to me. He was graduated with GPA of 2,1 but now is Procurement Manager in the local EPC company.

I’ll be loving you forever and ever,...
I am about to report you that this week (to be precise: today) I’ve purchased: 2 high-heels shoes, one tube of lipgloss, one stack of lipstick, a set of eye shadows, and a pretty blouse for my cousin’s wedding. In addition, I’m also making 2 dresses in a tailor.
Yes, never thought this thing could have happened to someone so boyish like me, didn’t you? Guess if Whitney...
On a scene of Up In The Air (2009)
Natalie Keener: Sometimes it feels like, no matter how much success I have, it's not gonna matter until I find the right guy. I could have made it work. He really fit the bill, you know. White collar, 6'1, college grad, loves dogs, likes funny movies, brown hair, kind eyes, works in finance but is outdoorsy. I always imagined he'd have a single syllable name like Matt or John or Dave. In a perfect world, he drives a 4 runner and the only thing he loves more than me is his golden lab. And a nice smile. What about you?
Alex Goran: You know, honestly by the time you're 34, all the physical requirements just go out the window. You secretly pray that he'll be taller than you, not an asshole; would be nice. Just someone who enjoys my company, comes from a good family. You don't think about that when you're younger. Someone who wants kids, likes kids. Healthy enough to play with his kids. Please let him earn more money than I do. You might not understand that now but believe me, you will one day otherwise that's a recipe for disaster. And hopefully, some hair on his head. I mean, that's not even a deal breaker these days. A nice smile. Yea, a nice smile just might do it.
Natalie Keener: Wow. That was depressing.
For The Love of God,
why can’t I write?
Am I not as good as I expected to be? Or does this have anything to do with my laziness? Because it is clearly not a writer’s block; writer’s block DOES NOT cling to somebody for approximately 2 weeks, goddammit.
If I am not good enough, okay; I can accept that. From now on I won’t be looking for the writing-editing job openings on the site and possibly...
