Gen-Y

I was doing research for my assignment, and realize how Gen-Yer I am.

Firstly, to qualify under the category of Gen Y, one has to be born between 1977 to 1994, which obviously I am.

I grew up in a two-income household, with divorce the norm in many homes. We are used to computers at home and in school, are Internet-savvy and are more socially aware of different cultures and ethnic diversity.

We have grown with AIDS, drug and alcohol abuse, violence and economic uncertainty. We are exposed to many significant global social changes like Gulf War and terrorism.

We are characterised by a storng sense of independence and autonomy. We are assertive, slef-reliant, emotionally and intellectually expressive.

We respond to good advertising messages..

Style, freedom, brand concious, status, abortion, trend, surround us.

I am Gen-Y

The imperfect in life

Juz Wednesday night while chatting with my gf over cranberry juice and rootbeer (we are good girls! We meant it when we say we want to cut down on Mr. A), she was sharing this with me that the other day she was chatting with one of our friends about her sucky love life and that she had been taking crap from men.

This friend of ours shared this with her...

"You know, you are blessed with a close knit family, great friends, good career, great looks and body, sometimes God needs to take away an imperfect thing in your life juz so to make it perfect which in this case would probably be your love life..."

*touched!*

you see, we have always been so engrossed in ourselves that we failed to see the bigger picture.

Day in day out, we KPKB on every single thing. You want this, you want that, you complain this, you complain that, you wish for this, you wish for that, sigh~ you probably dun even know what you truely want.

When was the last time you took a moment, give thanks and simply embrace the joy of it????
