Anny's World

Free Time

It is so true that you don’t really appreciate something until you don’t have it…the past 3 years, I was devoid of free time but now that I have back, I have been enjoying it a lot.

A Moment A Lifetime

anny — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:34:46 +0000

A single moment can have an affect on a lifetime. I know when that moment was for me. From that moment on, I have not been the same. I wish that moment never occurred but since it did, I wonder, when will that next moment occur that will change me again for a lifetime and enable me to forget the previous moment.

Anny’s World Is Back

anny — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:56:16 +0000

After a 3 year hiatus, Anny’s World is back. I’m sure there probably won’t be anyone reading these entries but I made a commitment to myself that I would start blogging again.

Summary of the last 3 years: I won’t lie. I love being in school, but the last 3 years were extremely rough. Balancing work and school was a challenge. The constant worry of needing to get out of work at a certain time so that I can make it to class on time or make it home to finish a homework or study for a test was to say the least exhausting. I never knew how valuable free time was until I didn’t have it anymore. Despite the stress though, I did enjoy the learning and the friends that I gained from the experience. It reaffirms my desire to eventually go back to school again and pursue another higher degree, however, I will have to see about that. If I do go back, I do not want to do the work part at the same time unless the work part involves my being a research assistant at the school.

On to post-graduate life…I see that my last post contained “The List”. I know that the first item on there won’t be happening this year, however, I am going to complete what is on the list and more…

The Older I Get…And Back In The Days

anny — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 05:43:31 +0000

It seems like the older I get, the less social I have become. Back in the days, it was very easy for me to approach anyone and everyone and carry on a conversation like no other. Now, I just don’t feel like socializing as much, maybe because I’m exhausted all the time from school and work. Being around people does energize me tho. I remember the days in the Bay Area how I loved going anywhere and always running into people I knew or when someone calls me for something and I know who to turn to for the answer if I didn’t have the answer or recruiting volunteers to help me at any of the non-profit events that I attended. These days, what energizes me most is a good night’s rest. I’m hoping that when school ends, I can go back to organizing functions, keeping better contact with people, and volunteering again.

It seems like the older I get, the less I care about trying to control everything. This is a good thing. Back in the days, I always had to have control. But I think with age, you just have to learn to let go.

And this is an obvious one…the older I get, the more my memory has been deteriorating. Any of my friends can vouch that I have the memory of an elephant. But now, I have more stuff to retain and thus things have been escaping.

Balancing Act

anny — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 07:09:42 +0000

This is one of my favorite pictures of d.a.l. I actually have it as my wallpaper from work and it always brings a smile to my face. She balances herself on the pillow with such ease.

I wish I can be as skillful as her in balancing my life. I always think that I am Wonder Woman or Super Woman and can do it all, but I realize that I am spreading myself thin…

Always a Bridesmaid, Never a Bride

Art of Procratination

I am beginning to accept the fact that the more free time I have, the more I procrastinate…so…

I have like 100+ pages of reading to do for my combined 3 classes for this coming week.

I have a quiz/midterm on Info Management this coming Tuesday.

I have homework for Statistics and Managerial Perspectives due on Thursday.

I have midterm for Statistics and Managerial Perspectives this coming Saturday.

And guess what I did this past weekend…watch a bunch of movies, play video games, and on Sunday, I watched Cowboys beat the Lions, Patriots beat the Steelers, and Colts beat the Ravens…yip, that was my whole day…

Good thing after this Saturday, I have 4 weeks off from school!! Yippeeeee! I can’t wait!!!

In other news…I can’t wait until May next year…
