Were these words ever spoken to you? Every time I talk to my friends about my personal problems when I was younger, they always tell me those words. “I can relate” That short sentence had always given me comfort when I opened up to them. It’s an assurance that my friends were also experiencing the things I was going through. “My mom got furious about my grades in Algebra. She’s cutting the DSL, can’t go online for a week” “Hey man, I can relate. I flunked in English. My dad confiscated my PS2. Can’t play my Final Fantasy 10 ” I have more grown up problems now but whenever I heard someone who went through the same things I did, I felt comforted. It creates an atmosphere of openness and I would always tell them what I felt and the same goes for them. We would talk about the same problems and we will help each other out. It was practicing accountability. When you’re trying to quit at something like drinking alcohol, you’ll need an accountability partner who’s going thr...
Oh thanks for asking. You might’ve gotten worried about me because I haven’t written about anything for almost a year now. No need to worry, I’m still alive. Actually I’ve been wonderful. Lot’s have happened in my life for the past year. Let me give you an update. 1. I'm now engaged. Oh yes! You know the girl that I write about in most of my blogs? I’m now engaged to her.

My wife and I spend most of our date nights eating out, we love it, we get to enjoy great food and have quality conversations at the same time. Recently, we went to an all you can eat restaurant where majority of their menu is deep-fried. We were excited and couldn't wait for our food to arrive. The deep -fried options were our favorite and the crispy chicken was repeatedly ordered. We ate as much as we wanted until we got full. For a moment, we were happy and satisfied but when all the cholesterol kicked in, we felt sick. Feeling guilty from what we ate, we regretted everything and learned our lesson. There is a huge gap from being full and being completely satisfied. When we are hungry and choose to eat potato chips, we become full and our appetite for real food is gone.
