This is what I'm going to do. Everyday, every morning, I'll try to start the day with counting my blessings. Here's the funny things that happened in the past 12 hours. Remember what Paulo Coelho said that When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it?
Last night, there was a snapped moment that made me realize that I need to stop and take a break. I want to be happy and refocus on three goals, Passion, Love, and Health. I didn't know where to start, I just knew that it needed to start at the moment I had enough of all those miseries. So, there I was, sitting alone, working on my assignment while full of disappointment because of yeah a dude. No need to explain it much further. The point is when I started to give a damn about changing my life, focusing on my goals, and adjusting my vibe I feel like the universe started to give a damn about me too.
I do love surfing on internet, especially in social media. I was surfing from blog to blog, from video to video on youtube, and from photo to photo on instagram. In the last 12 hours here are the words and messages that keep coming to me: Live your dream, follow your passion, and perseverance.
How come from watching Glee's video I ended up watching "Live Your Dream"?
How do I know when I opened my instagram's timeline there's an Austin Carlile's photo on top of others with caption that talk about perseverance? He's a rock vocalist with a lot of tattoos, neither a preacher nor a motivator.
Even this morning when I decided to spend 15 minutes reading bible references from our daily bread, the topic is about don't lose a heart to do a good deed and to keep running the race. It reminded me that a man reaps what he sows.
Coincidence? Nah, I don't think so.
So, here I am. Start counting my blessings, changing my perspective, and doing good deed to myself and others. The first blessing I want to count is, since I'm a procrastinator at its finest, with a lot of proud I announce all of you that I succeed in finishing my assignment a day before the deadline! I used to start working on it less than 3 or 4 hours before deadline.
Oh God, I think I need to have a drink to celebrate it.

Advice(s)
The most funny thing from advice is you ask one but then don't completely agree with it. You keep making some excuses to prove to yourself that all you did, and all you're going to do, are the best things for you. Well you do it in your head actually while nodding your head and saying thank you to the person you asked for advice(s). You means me in here.
One day, I decided to work out all those advices. One by one, step by step, little by little, and it's hard as hell. I started to try those shoes, not only asking for some advices, but really work those out. There's always a time that I want to give up and back to my little messed up comfort zone. I'm good at giving advice but still an amateur to carry them out. Those advices did, and I hope will always do, give nice effect on me. They're actually didn't, or maybe haven't, change the situation the way I want, but slowly change my perspective. That's all we want to have, right? A new perspective, an inner peace. Peace that comes from your mind and your heart. Well, you can't change the wind but always can change the sail.
Actually this thought keep coming into my mind after remembered the last chat that I did with one of my friend. She's in the position like I was. I've been through that, well actually in a battle to completely through that. I was in her position, not completely same shoes because context does matter, but my shoes and her shoes are quite alike. I tried to give her an advice, well I think some advices, so she doesn't have to ended up like me. She's exactly look like me when received those advices. She asked for it but I think she didn't take it well. She just want to have a yes,more yes(es), and many yes(es), a conformity, for everything that she did and she will do. Well, my thought haven't proved yet. I cross my fingers that my thought will not be proven.
Lesson learned. For me.
