What's New: Stresses and Strains of Life

1. My friend is now a DJ for this Asian FM radio station. You can watch his first show here: FM93.9 (it's an hour long)

2. This is a funny video I found trending among my peers in engineering: How It Feels to be an Engineer (a short < 5min video)

3. This is a very scary video that my friend shared of something traumatic that happened. Do not watch this unless you are prepared to be shaken. Dog Owners Beware  I almost cried watching this.

4. Yesterday was a beautiful day. It actually felt like spring was here. Today was chillier, but I think it might be because of all the tall buildings that block out the warmth of the sunlight on my way home from work. =( I was reminded again that it can be a beautiful day, but it doesn't hide the fact that we live in an imperfect world.

5. Pidgin - Since Facebook Chat for Desktop app has been discontinued, my sister discovered an open source program that lets you chat with all your Facebook/other AIM contacts all in one place: http://www.pidgin.im/

6. I can't see my past final exam. So I have no idea what I did wrong/need to work on. My exam is on Monday and as each day goes by I feel more and more hopeless and less and less prepared....

7. On the bright side, I managed to resolve (for now, it seems anyway) a problem I've been having with a coworker at work which was really stressing me out. Also, my boss is back from vacation and he's the best. I have also been working on my own project which is super exciting.

8. Yesterday my sister and I went to a coffee shop near our home. This nice young gentleman saw her struggling to bring our drinks/cake to our table and he helped her out and was real nice about it. =)

9. Lately there have been many losses experienced by my community. With everything happening with me and with those around me, I've been feeling pretty worn out and I found myself (selfishly) thinking that I can't do this anymore and wanting to crumble. If I could feel God's arms around me I think it would make me better. But I guess since we are sinful and I can't see Him, I can only trust that He has control over my life. If I could, I would sing this song: Worn - Tenth Avenue North

10. Today was the first day I started walking home from work. I decided not to buy a bus pass this month to help myself get more exercise --> become healthier --> lose the beer belly. It was chilly but nice. I was thinking maybe I'll roller blade in the small streets instead, but then again it might not be such a good idea as I really suck at roller blading. Maybe I'll just practice before actually going to work in case something happens and I don't make it.

Welp, that's all I got for now. Back to my studies...~
