Problems

Just recently, my parents set up an ultimatum. They said that the internet/modem will automatically be turned off at 12.00am sharp. And they say that it's because of my brother and his downward spiral in exam results.

I think they had an argument, because tomorrow is my brother's school's open day, and his results are't exactly that good. Before I would kepo and go ask what's wrong, trying to solve the issue and make everyone happy. But now I try to stay out of it unless asked to step in and give advice or something similar. Sometimes you just can't make everyone happy. And once someone is in a bad mood, all hell breaks loose if you push his/her buttons. That's what happens in my family, although most of the time, the issue gets resolved after a while.

Probably that's the nature of Librans: wanting to please everyone and make everybody happy. But one has to realise that that's not possible all the time. Sometimes you just can't please everyone. And with me going overseas soon, I have to learn to let go and let my family deal with their own internal struggles, unless it includes me. One will get tired from trying to please everyone and making everyone happy. We're always trying to make it into a win-win situation but sometimes that's just not possible. Sometimes it'll become a win-lose situation.

Crap, and then I have to tell my dad something important regarding me when he's not in a good mood. Not really the best idea now, so I have to come up with a strategy on how to approach him with this matter. Haiz... Let me think about the strategy first...

XOXO,
