10 Things I Will NOT Apologize For.

1. I will not apologize for all my "drama". when i was younger, i needed drama commensurate to my hormonal level. Now, Im older, and I'd like to believe Im wiser and not easily influenced by my hormones anymore...... i need it coz i wouldnt be Me without all my drama!haha.
That's me, i cry a lot and i laugh a lot. I laugh at simple things. i cry at simple things. Take it or leave it.

2.I will not apologize for answering the phone when my bestfriend Joyce calls. Unless Im working or Im in a theater, i will answer her call. regardless of who Im with. Do not argue with me or act irritated coz I will not trade 18 years of good, quality friendship to please mere acquaintances.

3. I will not apologize for taking brief naps during the day. I know how my body works and I need to recharge every few hours coz Im always hyperactive.At work and at play.

4.I will not apologize for pampering myself and indulging in some luxuries every now and then. I work hard. I deserve it.

5.I will not apologize for not replying immediately to some emails unless it's a life and death situation kind of email. I am a very busy person.

6.I will not apologize for apologizing too much most of the time. hahaha. I have been living in Japan for 7 years now. That's part of the culture i have adapted.

7.I will not apologize for not being tech-savvy. I have good friends who spoil me and will do the work for me anytime. Do not take it against me that I have weaknesses. And technology is definitely one of them!

8.I will not apologize for making someone wait if they come to my place without calling.

9.I will not apologize for not answering the phone or the door when Im sleeping.

10.I will not apologize if i dont have presents for everyone after a trip. i have learned that It's much better to give to gracious people than people who wouldnt even consider the time, effort and energy it took you to bring that thing,no matter how small. Any backpacker knows how tough it is to try to squeeze your stuff in a 120L backpack!Hahaha!
