May 16, 2006

My blog is full of so many negative posts. It’s so depressive to read. Didn’t realize until now that I’m such a passivemistic person. OK OK..enough is enough. After getting all these off my chest… my new resolutions

1) Write more about the funny things/say that kids have done
2) Write more about food!! Have to bear with my no so nice cooking (ooh.. not again…so low self confidence, always trying hard to blend in with the others)
3) Think of the sunny side of things.
