I was down for 4 days, and my projects are all piling up! The bugs have a nefarious plan to infect all busy people at the same time! If only we can have some additional anti-virus to help the anti-virus already built in the body.... Veron, you won’t believe it, but I only just came through a really bad cold too!

I mean when we met just a month and a bit ago, you came across as a fun-loving, bright-eyed, enthusiastic person, who was looking forward to the future and all it had to offer. That said, I can totally relate to what you're going through - everyone burns out now and then. You just need to take some time out, think about what's best for you, then get back to making yourself happiest. I look forward to seeing the usual Veron back...hang let me rephrase that... I look forward to seeing a new, improved, more focused, and ultimately happier Veron back real soon! :) Noel Heya Veron,

I don't know if I should say this but I think that your situation arises partially because you are a square peg in a round hole (or a round peg in a square hole?). I always thought you would do better in an environment that is creative, free flowing and with lots of spontaneity and room for experimentation. My first impression was that it isn't really you but heck who am I to judge right? Other than drinks (I drink red every night), some exercise may help too. Hmmm….

The more I procrastinate, the more the work pile up. It is not that I don't have things to do, it is like I have a thousand things to do but I simply had no desire to even make a dent in all the things I need to do. That's when I decided that I need a break, to re-evaluate what is important and how my life is going to be. I'll be flying off for a solo break soon for a week. If a trip abroad is not feasible, for me a long bus trip to the airport with my ipod blaring my fav music sometimes will do the trick. And take a look at this website. Usually when I saw so much love around, I simply cheered up. http://www.stomp.com.sg/lovein/loveproject.html Hang in there, you are not alone. This is exactly what I feel this year.

Capricorn always aim big and ambitious, and start up big. But very soon, as Capricorn become more mature and smarter, capricorn will start to climb the hill one at a time, meaning breaking everything into small task and persistently overcome the small task. Most capricorn find success when they adopted this way of working, and only very few astrological sign is able to accomplish anything big like Capricorn because Capricorn is known to overcome all adversity, have astonishing persistence and patience. All other signs probably give all half-way through. Veron, the reason is because you are capricorn. Capricorn always aim big and ambitious, and start up big.

Yet falling down is how I learn my lessons. This thing is out of bounds and that brings me pain. The paradox then begins, when I learn what is painful and avoids it; when I redo what is tantamount to success. In that repetition of cycles, I lose what I treasure most and Faith departs from me.
