In 2009, my Macroeconomics lecturer told us, in her culture, there's a saying:
If a woman is unhappy, first she can change her hairstyle. If she is still unhappy, she changes her apartment. Lastly, she changes her boyfriend.
Well this year, I've done all of the above. I had to cut M lose this February because since I moved back to Asia, I started to realise how appalling he treated me although he said he wanted to give long distance a shot. We had started growing into different people with different values since we started working, and we had already fallen apart last year. Since the breakup, I've been very much happier (like that Medina song that went 'I have no time for you to hurt my feelings'). Afterall, if a woman changes all of the mentioned things, theoretically she should be ecstatic.

But I've decided to come back here because I finally figured out what I should be doing here. I will use this blog for more personal posts, whereas Tumblr is for my work.

Values for this year has 3 Ps:
1. Patience - An unexpected affair came up recently, and it is training my patience to climb a steep spirally stairway.
2. Posture - I keep forgetting to work on.
3. Passion - I've been lucky to be able to pursue all of my passions this year, but my mojo for drawing has gone down since last month. I can't really focus on spitting something good out. So I'm challenging myself to bring my sketchbook to work this week, and sketch at least one person, with minimum 2 variations.

- I haven't been reading as much as I used to.
- I was figuring out how to use which blog for what, especially since I've started focusing my efforts on my Tumblr page.
