It’s quite upsetting. On the otherhand, it’s good thing that only one rope was affected.

Typically, these things happen when the ship is experiencing financial hardships. However, that doesn’t apply to today’s businesses. Some just get rid or shift people around based on numbers. It all comes down to $$$.

Not that I’m completely celebrating, but I immediately sighed in relief when I was told that my group was excused from jury duty. I don’t really mind serving. It’s just that the area is a bit sketchy. With all the protests, mugging, and drive-bys, you can’t really help but feel hesitant about going. I’m sure they’ll find me again. But in the meantime, I’ll enjoy my treat.

As today marks the beginning of a new year, I once again return to blogging.

We know that blogging can be a form of therapy. It helps you get through tougher times, and helps you recall the good. I’m hoping that my entries will help me look back at how I’ve lived my life and make way to self-improvement. Perhaps I would not need to hibernate again.

Forgive me for posting entries about things that may be nonsensical to you, or things that may seem too familiar to you. The thoughts and opinions expressed here are mainly about me. They may also change from time to time. I believe that to be a wonderful consequence of having an open mind. Hence, the entries in this blog are intended to provide me a snapshot and reflection of various times in my life. My personal space.

So, yes, I’m back.

P.S.
Mean-spirited comments and negativity: not welcome here.
