Summer 2009

When life is so overwhelming, we intend to find ourselves without goals nor hopes. Being full-time student with five days of work is just exhausting. The weekend is spent at work, and that is how summer 2009 is going. Days are passing to study for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). After a busy day at work or school, I find myself extremely tired to do any activities for fun. The summer is flying by without any fun. Everything sounds boring and sick, but the reality of being student and employee forces us to do the best we can to manage between both. However, there is no such break for the one's self, but a wish for better years.

I heard that love was the greatest value in love, but I couldn't believe it till I fall in it. It gives the greatest strength to succeed and live happy. It was never such a thing for me till I found the heart that can meet my soul. It is the passionate desire for another person. Love is the experience of life, and when you go through it, you find all the goals and wishes. I have been wishing the love for everyone. It eliminates all the selfishness,rudeness, and hate. The dream of my life came with a great soul, in which I can spend a lifetime on loving.
