Winter End

Last Saturday I went along with a group of friends from BU on the IVSA/NUVSA ski trip to Mt. Sunapee in New Hamsphire. I was snowboarding, well learning how to at least. After so many wipeouts, I have yet to carve or stop properly, which I guess is more incentive to look forward to another trip sometime in the near future. It was also snowing that day, which while added to some nice scenary, made some things more difficult.

Next week is Spring Break, no plans yet.  It’ll probably be more job hunting and practice more on programming.  At the moment I can’t get my photo gallery to work properly.

Struggle

Isn’t it perplexing that often our purpose in life lies directly where we struggle the most?

In reality, it was nothing more than a fleeting dream…

Winter Break

My reluctance to post sooner in the New Year was due to the lack of the words of wisdom I had wished to express. If you saw through this, yes I was lazy.

New Years weekend was enjoyable. My friends and I didn’t exactly watch the ball drop as planned. The weather wasn’t as cold as I thought it’d be, but the rain and some hail made waiting and walking around troublesome. It was kind of funny waiting in some line with the periods of rushing, pushing, shoving and then finding out that we weren’t in an ideal spot to actually see the ball. My only gripe is that there wasn’t enough time to really further explore the city. Still the time spent there was memorable, hanging out and joking with my friends. There was definitely a lot of food consumed that weekend.

The last three days, I spent the majority of my time reading Dan Brown’s Angels & Demon. Great book, I think I like it slightly more than DaVinci Code. Although from having read Brown’s previous books Digital Fortress and DaVinci Code, I could see the patterns of his plot. In addition to reading the novel, I also filled the time reading Marvel’s House of M comics. I guess I didn’t spend as much time with playing video games or watching all those movies I had as planned. I guess I’m more interested in reading, not because I’m a bookworm (I don’t read as often), but I like to excercise my imagination further.

The last week of break is coming and I don’t think I have anything out of the norm planned, probably brush up on some engineering work and continue with the job hunting.

It would have been much more interesting if I was able to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

2005

“I tried to be perfect, but nothing was worth it. I don’t believe it makes me real.” – Sum 41

2005 is coming to a close. This year, like many others has its share of stories to be told. My year actually has some stories of its own. As everything unfolded, I learned more about myself this year and like I’ve stated before my outlook on my life has changed for the better. I sort of know what I want now, the issue is just going after it. I still don’t know the direction I’m heading in though, but for now I’ll just wander.

There’s a single thought in my mind that’s been looming over for the past week and continues now, although it doesn’t really trouble me much. It’s my regret that I wasn’t able to confront it as the year draws to a close. I’ll find my resolve soon.

For those who have commented about the emptiness of my facial expressions and tones, I ensure you that I’ve made some progress this year. Believe it or not, I am smiling on the inside, still working on the outside. I just haven’t stared at my reflection long enough to notice. Yeah, I’m not afraid of making fun of myself.

I have my New Years resolution set in my mind, something that I’ll make every attempt to hold true in my heart and mind. I’m heading with a group of friends to see the ball drop in Times Square, NY to celebrate the New Year.

Here’s to 2006, let’s make it more interesting!
