Someone, something or some idea.

Dear Readers,

I just finished my second exam, Principles of Banking and Finance, and before I say ANYTHING…..

IRR = LDR + (HDR-LDR) x (Positive NPV/ (Positive NPV) – (Negative NPV)

Good. Done.

That damn equation always gets to me, for the past THREE years – the day before any finance/accounting related exam I find myself always searching high and low for this formula. So I am recording it now.

Needless to say, IRR (internal rate of return) did not come up AT ALL. Which was really frustrating because I went in the exam room hoping to score 80+, and i left knowing that at best I got 70.
Boo.

Anyhoo, afterwards I scheduled for a self-endulging studio session, only to cancel it in favour for a sit down chat with Jeab. We decided that I can take photos next week, when I’m another KG lighter, and I’m going to up the ante, and only take studio photos when I reach my Dr.Phil “Realistic WEIGHT” of 57kgs.

I felt a bit sad while I was talking to Jeab, talking about work, talking about how I live in a bubble, and talking about my lack of a social (esp. love) life. And somewhere in between I really began to miss someone. Someone or something or some idea. I’ll let you do the guessing.

And it is entirely ridiculous to miss things, when I never really had those things, but my heart feels a tiny pinch of pain.

More than just a pinch actually,
Stacy

Reasons Seasons and Lifetimes

But until then, here is an article that has helped me shape the way I think of things.

For all my lifetimes, you know who you are, and I love you for who you are, I love you for being a constant in my life.

A Reason A Season and A Lifetime
© by Brain A. “Drew” Chalker.

People always come into you life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend to you, and they are. They are there for a reason, you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, Sometimes they just walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, the season eventually ends.

Lifetime, relationships teach you a lifetime of lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a slid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
