Test and love

I did reasonably well in the test considering the time I spent on studying. For a few minutes in the beginning of the test, I was so nervous and couldn't concentrate, partly because of the clock alarm. Time was passing and I couldn't help staring at the clock instead of the test on the screen. I forced myself back to the tests and the following went ok. I am so glad that it's over now! Time to celebrate!

Feeling so relaxed and rewarding, I can now freely do my other favorite things after work without feeling guilty about not studying. Exercising, watching my favorite movies and sitcoms, reading, and daydreaming feel so special and precious to me after I stopped doing them for a while.

I recently learned that a friend of mine has been doing pretty well since I met her a couple of years ago. We are not friends actually, just happen to share the same friend. I do like her personality and feel so glad for her now. Back then, she was so upset and desperate and had a hard time getting herself back together from a sad love story. I was so sympathetic and angry with the guy who hurt her so deeply.

Like other sad love stories, the guy broke up with her after they've been dating and engaged. She loved him so much that she wanted nothing but leaving this world. I was so shocked and am still shocked by what the guy said to her and to his friends "I don't love her any more; I cannot spend my life with someone I don't love; Whether she commits suicide or not has nothing to do with me". If there is nothing wrong with the break-up itself and the first two sentences, the last one draws a line between a human being and a devil. I am still a little emotional when I think about this today. People, when you hurt a person like that with no mercy, are you thinking that you yourself some day will have daughters who need love, care, and dignity from others? From the girl's perspective, if the guy cares nothing about you, there is nothing you can do but live a better life for yourself and the people who you love and love you too.

These types of things are always easier to say than to do. I am just lucky enough not having met anyone that bad. I am so glad to see that she recovered, got a graduate degree, got married, and found a job. Everybody can live well without anybody; what we need is just a little healing time......

Internet: virtual and real

John helped me set up this blog today; and I finally became an official blogger as so many others have been for a long time. Internet has shaped our lives in so many ways that we almost cannot live without it in our daily lives. Although the internet plays a positive role in most cases, we need to use it wisely and avoid getting addictive and wandering on the internet aimlessly. The reason is simple; besides this wonderful virtual world on the internet, we have a real life to live in the real world. I'll be offline for a week to prepare for an important test. Good luck!
