Felt the incoming birthday blues, so I decided to just hope for a surprise, but not be too concerned with it. went to school on my birthday to do what i love. jam. met friends and they greeted me. the next few days. met up with yanna and justin (supposed to be with pauline too) gave them the tea i bought from xiamen :) and ate at Yaku (yanna's suggestion) pretty good! fair price! Realize that when it's your birthday give yourself a week to do what you like (schedule meet with friends, buy yourself something nice, enjoy the little things you like). Your birthday doesn't have to be extra special. If anything special happens, then even better!

Renewing my goals -Deep practice, spaced practice (practice again when a little forgetting sets in, best way to retain!) SLOW IT DOWN AND CHUNK IT. LIKE CHUNKY PEANUT BUTTER MMM -DO WELL IN YOUR JOB. REMEMBER THE VISION -EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO EXERCISE! NO EXCUSES -REMEMBER YOUR OWN VISION. A MODERATELY BIG HOUSE, BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED, NO CLUTTER, A BEAUTIFUL LOVING WIFE, MAKING A POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE SOCIETY. STAYING TRUE TO YOURSELF. COMBINING THE CREATIVE AND THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF BUSINESS. -CHALLENGE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. AS IN CHALLENGE THEM. CRITICIZE LIKE YOU CRITICIZE YOURSELF BEFORE, BUT THIS TIME TO YOUR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS. THEY HAVE FAKE WEIGHTS. -PRAY, NEVER LOSE HOPE. KEEP ON KEEPING ON

MY FUTURE WILL BE JOYFUL. FILLED WITH LOVE. LOVE FROM FAMILY, FROM FRIENDS, FROM GOD.MY HOUSE WILL BE AMAZING. IT'S A KIND OF HOUSE THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO STAY IN, BUT YOU MUST WORK BECAUSE YOUR WORK IS EVEN MORE EXCITING, MORE RELEVANT. IT'S MAKING A CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF OTHER PEOPLE. MY FUTURE WILL BE HEALTHY. I AM EXERCISING MOST OF THE TIME. MY FUTURE WILL BE FILLED WITH MUSIC. FROM SINGING TO PLAYING GUITAR TO PRODUCING. MY WIFE WILL BE LOVELY. SHE WILL STAY COMMITTED, AND WILL BE UNDERSTANDING OF MY FLAWS AND WEAKNESSES. AND I WILL BE THE SAME TO HER. SHE AND I WILL MAKE OUR KIDS GROW UP TO BE SMART,CONFIDENT, AND MOST OF ALL WITH VALUES. THIS IS MY VISION OF MY FUTURE. I KNOW GOD WILL GUIDE ME. I AM SCARED, BUT I'M EXCITED FOR WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS. THIS IS THE VISION I CREATED. BUT ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE ONE WHO CREATED ME.
