Carpe Diem

 

Its been 12 months, 365 days, and 8760 hours since my last post (tardiness issue). Once again its Christmas Day. Happy Holidays! I just wanted to share my new book that I bought today on my way home. Its a little yellow book called CARPE DIEM. Make the most of Life. So it says..

To combat my everyday boredom while waiting for my carpool, I'm planning to read this yellow handy book everyday. Its a small hard bound book with quotations from famous people to uplift your mood and to arouse your optimism. " One quote a day can keep your bad day away!"

CARPE DIEM- the enjoyment of the pleasures of the moment without concern for the future 
( Merriam-Webster)

Finally, YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, so make the most of it! Every single day (post-work) that I stand in the highway watching the cars passed by on me, I always thought life is really fast and one day was gone. We aged, we had good times, bad days, super bad days, uber good days and still a day passed by. I realized from this Christmas that I will only live 100 years ( more or less) and I need to enjoy it fully. Life will always be hard and full of obstacles but those hardships will be just the spices of our life. We need to experience different stuffs so we can be fully happy and aware of what life really is. We will always have a hundreds and thousands of good times and bad times and we should always be thankful, appreciative, and tough for every moment. Merry Christmas Everyone! Cheers!
