Wow, 25% raise effective in march!!   Then a promotion in title and another raise in 6 months...crazy.  You gotta love the investment industry!!  I was almost about to lose my drive but I think my manager just increased my motivation to pass the cfa level 2 now, hahaha. 

Another good news...i have pretty much decided i am going to be moving out after my exam in june.  There is just no reason to stay at home anymore.  I am pretty excited since i LOVE decorating, so can't wait to decorate my new room hahaha. 

CFA level 2...here I come...I willingly give up my life to you.  I think.

Promotion + phat bonus = a very happy kelly at work. 

Once again, timing is everything.  Maybe I just don't pay enough attention...

I think that about sums it up. 

Here is your single's love horoscope
for Thursday, October 18:

A past romantic resentment is keeping your from moving onto something great. Don't let toxic emotional garbage hinder your love-seeking efforts. Move on already and throw this stuff in the trash. You're no good to anyone until you do.

Wow.  Well, I don't think I resent anymore.  I just haven't forgiven yet.  Haha, is that the same thing?  Nah, I don't think so ...=P 

On a happier note:

"Rolling around on the edge of a cliff under the moon, who knows where we'll fall..."  Nice. 

This past week I bumped into someone that I've dreaded bumping into for the past year.  I've been VERYcareful to not let our paths cross.  From past experience our paths seem to cross pretty frequently and at the most unexpected places (ie: the dumbarton bridge??  i mean seriously).  So you can see why I've been extra alert to try not to run into him.  EVERY place is fair game with this guy.  Anyhow, I've been pretty successful for the past half year...until now. 

I guess he's right, alot of things have changed but somethings just never change.  Things were exactly the way they were before.  Our friendship didn't seem to be fazed by our troubled past.  And that is what kills me inside.  I was so sure that I would feel differently about him.  Or that he would act differently towards me.  Or that we would be on different wavelengths now.  Just something to change...so I can let him go.  But now I remember exactly what I've lost.  A friend who I loved.  

Anyways, I'm done trying to control my own fate.  No matter how hard I try I simply cannot control this particularly person/situation in my life.  Everything is the opposite of what I want anyways.  Apparently, someone else has bigger plans for me.  I guess if it was meant to be, God will just have to throw him in my path more often...or not....either way just let me rest in peace already.
