I have officially gone through all the Internet's rites of passage, from being on Hi5, MySpace, and Facebook, to owning a Yahoo, Google, and Hotmail account, to staying up late hours chatting with strangers in chat rooms, to actually meeting people that I've met online, to watching Youtube videos of a cat flushing a toilet and people dancing for hours, etc. Now it's BLOGGING time! Not sure how long I will be keeping one of these but it would be interesting to see. This year has been both the worst and best year of my life. 2008 is therefore the year of the extremes: either I would have been extremely happy and excited or extremely sad and depressed, never before seen in Mina's life! And at the end of the day, I have come to find out that I only have one friend that I can call my best friend. My mother always told me never to trust in human beings, as The Bible says, only trust in God whose words never change.  This brings me to my favorite quoted by Shakespeare: "Love all, trust a few, and do wrong to no one." Not sure if I quoted it properly. But the point is... as much as I try to give people a chance, they will eventually disappoint me. I'm sure I have disappointed many throughout my life but me being a human, therefore not being perfect, is not an excuse for making so many mistakes.
