Accomplishment

In: inspiration

12 Feb 2010

Open my eyes, I turn myself over
Blink, I realize that today is still Friday
Look around and I saw my luggage around the corner
Thought that today is my flight day
The sky is still dark
Not even a dog bark
Turn on the wireless modem
And, turn on the comp
Read friends’ blogs
Could not deny of being jealous
For them who find [...]

Lately, I was so stressed, I didn’t know what made me stress  and I was quite desperate to find out what made me stress.
