Quiet Moments
The regret I have most over the last 5 years, spearheaded by age eighteen and nineteen, is how often my arrogance and self-righteousness, caused me to hurt people. I often acted impetuously, hurting people by speaking carelessly or not thinking. I ruined several opportunities by alienating employers who were preferring me a hand up, by acting like a cocksure punk who was smarter than them, often revealing my age and inexperience. I wish I had possessed the wisdom and maturity to recognize those opportunities for what they were, and the sensitivity to see how my words and actions hurt my friends. I wish I had the sense to just shut my mouth.

Clock Talk
If I suddenly found I only had two weeks to live, I might regret the hours I've spent playing video games, chatting online, or vegging on the couch. So much of my time is spent idling, not improving myself or enjoying myself. I'd regret not writing more, not training more, not cooking more and not tasting more. I'd only have those regrets if I was dying, so I might not change things to make up for them immediately. If I were, though, I might sell all my possessions and fly to Europe, and eat at the cafes and restaurants of all those Mercer chefs I've only read about, die with a full stomach and a clear conscience. If you're dying, there's no reason to feel guilty about the pastries.

Cozy Afternoons on the Sofa
How would you like to spend a lazy afternoon? Most people would love to go out, go to malls or linger at some nearby coffee shop. Others also prefer to stay home, just enjoying the laidback ambiance. Indeed, this is another terrific way to spend a boring afternoon just getting seated on a sofa outdoor and marveling at nature’s beauty. This is a relaxing way to spend the day. You can comfortably sleep on an outdoor sofa or couch. This is just perfect for you and for the entire family. You can check for different designs at the nearest local home depot.

Coming back to haunt me?
If I had the chance to confront someone from my past it would be my grandmother. She passed away a while ago, and she was important to me and my family. She was so wise, smart and funny. There were so many stories she had, I do not think she got a chance to tell them all. There is a lot to be said about learning from other people and my grandmother is a great example. She was a great cook too. I could definitely use some of her cooking skills. She was so wise, and would be a great source of advice for anything I life.

Chill on an Outdoor Sofa
At times, the weather won’t seem just to cooperate. There are those days which are really humid. When the weather is getting unbearably hot, there are several ways on how you can keep yourself cool. You can stay inside and turn on the air conditioner or you can stay outdoors and enjoy the crisp air. It is better if you prefer the natural way of keeping yourself cool. You can stay outside, preferably under a shade of a tree and seated on an outdoor sofa. Do not also forget to grab a good book and spend the entire afternoon outside.

Better Marks
Since I get a chance to study again I know I wont misuse it since I got very low marks due to my illness and since I missed a lot of classes. I would like to get married before two years to my husband and I would like to have our first baby by now and would like to watch him grow. I would like to change this because I believe I have just a few days left in life. I always dreamed of my wedding and life after marriage so I wish I could get a taste of falling in love with someone and just being head over heels for my fiancé.

Baby Boy
If I had only two weeks to live, I would regret that I could never make my husband happy with a baby boy as he wished. I would regret that I couldn’t grow old with him. That I couldn’t watch our baby take his first step, hear his first words, and watch him grow up. I would regret leaving my husband all alone here and to take care of things. We’re praying and trying for our second child after we lost our baby Sam. Unfortunately I am not pregnant yet so I cant do anything about this matter. I would like to spend these two weeks with my husband. I want to cook him all the food he loves and I want to make him and keep him happy until I leave. I will want him to know that even though I’m not physically near him I’ll always be in his heart as his wife and lover and I will always love him.

Planning For My New Room
Everyone in the family is so excited for our new house. My mom was able to close a big deal for their company so she decided that it is time for us to transfer in a new house. She assigned each of us to plan for our room interior and design. I am so excited for this. I am starting to draw the plan for my room. I specifically want to have large bathroom with stylish bath vanity cabinets and a great bath tub too. I also want to have girly room so I decided to use wallpapers instead of paint. I know for sure that this is going to be great.

A Fulfilled Life
I definitely consider my life a fulfilled one.  At 18 I am a full time student on my way to an engineering degree, am part of an awesome online community, and have a loving girlfriend.  I’m not sure what else I could even want at this point, I have my whole life ahead of me.  Some of my plans though, are to own a house with a machine shop in the garage, a greenhouse on the roof, and a fish pond in the front yard with a waterfall.  I consider myself the best kind of person, a geeky engineering major who isn’t afraid to be himself.  If everyone could just be like that then I would truly be living in paradise.

Much Needed Vacation
I graduated two years ago and immediately after graduation I applied for a job. Luckily I got in. I have been working in the local magazine for a while now. My lifestyle has changed since then.  I mean, it is really time consuming to work in a media business – you have to meet deadlines, chase after different personalities that you need to interview for your feature and also attend various events. Because of all these, I haven’t had the time to take vacation but last month, my boss gave me one week time to take vacation. I decided to just spend it at home. I have to fix so many things like buy new furniture, bathroom vanity sets and other things for home. This is going to be a vacation I will spend to beautify my house.
