I have to admit that I am not a Monday-person. I hate Mondays. Who wouldn’t? For some, it’s the start of the work week (well, at least, for those who are employed). For others, it’s not an ordinary day. They are bloody forced to get out of bed early to go to school. All of [...]

My cellphone is made in China. My laptop is made in China. My lamp, shoes, MP3 player, and even my underwear are made in China. There’s even a saying that “God created the world.

I never thought that work is as awful as going to a 7 AM class.
Back when I was in senior year in college, I used to reschedule all of my subjects that landed on 7 or 8 in the morning. Before, I would sleep late at night and wake up at around 9 or [...]
