There are ups and downs in every single one of our life. If the life is going steady and stable forever, that's not as interesting as it should be even if it looks great from another person's point of view. My life has been like a roller coaster. There were miserable "DOWNs", as well as heavenly "UPs". I found out today at work that my life for the next half year would be extremely challenging. On my way home, i was devastated at the fact it would go that way for 6 months. That seemed so long. Now, I have come to the place where I decided to consider it as one of the challenges. I don't practice Catholicism anymore and I don't think I still belive in the Bible. But this pharse is something I could relate to right now. Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13You see, life is too short to be mortified for long time. It's not that I am going to die tomorrow. (Well, I might. who knows. If I do, oh well. :-)) I will try to enjoy this difficult phase of my life. I am looking forward to the outcome of this. On a different note, I watched the last week's episode of Lost. Misty eyes at the end.... How sissy of me. But I am glad it got better as I was kind of irritated for the last couple of episodes... I wish Anna Lucia could have killed herself... oh well. :-) Anyway, you have a fantabulous week! Ta-ta-.

I think I know where you're coming from here. Hope this 6-month thing is only a minor episode compared to the reward you'll be getting for your perseverence!

It's so trite, but "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
The good thing about this challenge is that you KNOW it is a challenge and that it won't be easy to pass this stage in your life. It's a good time to get in tune with your inner self. Listen to your body and your brain--try to take breaks when they tell you that you're over doing it.
Be good to yourself--maybe you can divide your challenge into smaller chunks and reward yourself in a fantabulously indulgent way every time you have broken one of the smaller chunks into tiny grains of sand.
Oh, and about those evil but beautiful shoes--have you thought of taking them to a shoe repair place and having them stretched? That's what I did when I bought a pair of penny loafers that were definitely the wrong size and it helped A LOT!!!!!

Oh! I could soooo relate to this. As you know, I am faced with a rather similar situation at the moment. And so I am sending you some Madonna wisdom to ponder on. ^_^
"There's only so much you can learn in one place. The more that you wait, the more time that you waste... All work and no fighting I'll find a place on my own
It sways and it swings and it bends until you make it your own... Are you ready to jump? Get ready to jump, Don't ever look back oh baby..."
All the best to you, Shigeki! You'll be just fine. ;-)

Hi Lifebook,
Yes, it's life indeed. Well, I wish I were able to live as a flash designer but I am not capable of being that professionaly. The extreme challenging thingy is something I have to do at work. It doesn't interest you so I didn't make it specific. :-) have a wonderful day!
Hi Will,
Thank you, sweetie. :-) Yay, six more months and I will be free. You know, at your age, partying hard would be an option but I have become old.... >_
Hi Brian,
You do? :-) I don't even know what you meant there. Did I tell you my brain was draining from my ears? hahaha. I am not sure if I get rewarded after I am done with all this but I am very hopeful as I have a big plan coming up! Sweet Dreams (I am sure you are asleep already. )
Hi GaijinGirl,
There is this guy who keeps complaining every single task he has to do at work and I don't want to be that. I am sure it's stressful but it's so much waste of time if you think it's a waste. So I considered it as a good challenge. :-) I am thinking of stretching my shoes but I am not sure.... I should've bought JM Weston's shoes as they are completely order made... Have a fantabulous day!
Hi Mark,
That's very sweet of you. Gay cliche singer's wisdom. :-) I am not really depressed or anything but I was kinda stunned all of the sudden. I feel much better now even though I nearly fell asleep during the meeting an hour ago. :-) You have a splendid afternoon!
