A Fool's Tale

Yang: "Guys, I'm getting married"
Lissy: "Ows?!"
Yang: "Nyahahaha April fools! =P"

Just in case you haven't notice (like when you're too busy editing your Friendster/Facebook/Multiply/My Space/Blogger/LiveJournal/Wordpress site like, err, me! Hahaha!), it's the first day of April or better known as April Fools' Day. All over the world, this day is well known as a time when humor reigns and harmless pranks, practical jokes, and hoaxes are sanctioned. In short, it's the day when everyone is allowed to fool - and be fooled by - other people.

I may not have much to say about today, but admittedly I have been a fool one too many times in my sweet 24 years of existence. I have had more foolishness than I could count, and the results are often disastrous, if not ultimately embarrassing (to the point where I feel like I could very well welcome the Earth to eat me up alive). Blame it to impulsive youth, a freedom-loving spirit, or the desire of proving my limits to the world, still there were times when my foolishness got me going for more than what I bargained for. And believe me when I say that things can get pretty ugly and downhill from there.

I'll be turning a year older in the coming months, and I know very well that I'm bound to commit more follies and mistakes on top of everything else which I did. And there will be more humiliations and embarrassments along the way. Oh well, at least I'll be a bit wiser (hopefully) and I'll be a better person (Uhmm... cross your fingers please!). I can only hope that Self (Self a.k.a. Me) knows a little better this time, and that she's learned a lesson or two in the past years. She'll commit some follies, of that I'm sure. But I pray that she won't be the fool who learns life's lessons the hard way... at least not again.

Happy April Fools' Day!!! :)
