To laugh, means, to laugh at myself.<\/p>\n<p>Laugh at myself, for being so stupid, to upgrade a small room to a big one, and believing that everyone who agreed to be there, will be there.<\/p>\n<p>Laugh at myself, for believing in others.<\/p>\n<p>Laugh at myself, big time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PISSED OFF<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pissed off, perhaps because things happen at the last minute. To be pissed off, means, to be pissed off with myself.<\/p>\n<p>Pissed off with myself, for not confirming with them in the afternoon. Those changes of minds came at the last moment.<\/p>\n<p>Pissed off with myself, for being so nice to actually try to organize such things, and this was what I get in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Pissed off with myself, big time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sad, perhaps because things did not turn out the way I wanted them to be.

Imagine, how will you like it, if you got to pay for 12 people, even when you only got 8? Let&#8217;s leave out the 9th person, as he came down as fast as he could, even though he had been busy.<\/p>\n<p>If you are paying for 12, even when there&#8217;s 8, automatically, something will come to the mind.<\/p>\n<p>Just fucking cancel it.<\/p>\n<p>Consequences? Lots. I may just have earned myself an entry into a blacklist. It&#8217;s bad for people who actually turned up.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just not fair.<\/p>\n<p>But then, since when things have been fair to me?<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>I am tired. But who cares.<\/p>\n<p>Let me just put everything behind me. Make it a lesson learnt. Strange, but I have learnt this lesson long ago.
