Well, I have chosen to be happy about it.<\/p>\n<p>What happens when all odds are against you?  Or rather, when it <em>seems<\/em> like all odds are against you?  I guess you have to become even!  I am on the phone with m bestfriend, Sola right now, and I am sharing an intimate detail of my life with her, and as always, she is making me feel better.  She has just reminded me that when God closes one door, he opens another.  That much is true.  The only problem is that I can&#8217;t seem to find this alleged new door; okay, maybe I should not call the door &#8220;alleged&#8221;&#8230;as this might anger God&#8230;. or don&#8217;t you think so?<\/p>\n<p>Some days, like today, I wonder what love has to do with anything; I&#8217;m talking about romantic love, by the way.  I know what love does; all it does it blind you from seeing things logically; it makes you a damn fool, and I do not now, nor ever wanna be anyone&#8217;s fool.  Seriously speaking, what the hell does love have to do with anything?  Nothing!<\/p>\n<p>Before I start sounding like a bitter old hag (which I am not!), I would like 2 change the subject: can you believe that I did not write my book all through this weekend?  That&#8217;s a damn shame, ain&#8217;t it?  Well, I would definitely do some writing today&#8230;. right after I finish my Literature assigment&#8230; and my Chemistry too&#8230; and watching <em>Girlfriends<\/em>&#8230; and watching <em>Sex And The City<\/em>&#8230; and&#8230;.. oh hell!  Chances are, I might not be able 2 write today, but let&#8217;s hope for the best sha.  Until then&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Chao Baby!
