Oh wow, another year has ended. I swear that time goes by so fast that before you realize it you are once again about to be a year older and hoping for a better upcoming year. Sometimes when you look back there are things that you regret, but you should not dwell on the past rather learn from it, right? Many people probably have a list of resolutions that they want to achieve, while I have nothing, except to take everything slow. This is the year that I should start thinking more of how to take care of myself than to worry about satisfying other people’s expectation of me. I want to enjoy the things I like doing such as finish all my video games, draw all the illustrations I like, crochet myself a couple of hats and scarves and finally learn to accept my body and improve it. I am not going to stress myself and put a distinctive deadline on the things I want to achieve, instead, like I said earlier, I want to take everything slow. People always tell me what to do and how to do them. Trust me, I am thankful for the helpful advices but at the same time I feel like I have failed by not doing it the way they wanted me to. But all that really matters right now is how I perceive it and how it will better my life. I should admit to myself that I can not satisfy everybody because human beings are known for never being satisfied with anything, anyways. We always crave for more.

Here is a funny story - I was working on my retail job when I had this customer who was quite old. She approached me with a smile and asked me with a very tiny voice, Do you guys have any duvets? I was so preoccupied with fixing the shelfs that I turned to her and said, Mam, I am very sorry but we do not sell toupees(sounds like duvets) here. She turned all red and looked at me with angry eyes. I said I needed a duvet not a toupee, direct me to a person who actually understands english. I was like, I am very sorry for the misunderstanding but here are our duvets if you still need someone else to help you I would gladly look for someone. Deng, come on it is a honest mistake dont prosecute me for it. =)
