I've been doing lots of thinking and many things have been floating around in my head.

What do I view that is important in life:

1. Values and principles: In my life my guiding principle has always been very simple, the golden rule - Treat others the way you want others to treat you. Try to respect and understand everyone around you.
2. Family: Family for obvious reasons. Because complain as much as you want, you are blood related. There's nothing more reassuring than to have a family that stands by you no matter what you do.
3. Friends: People who you have been through thick and thin over the years. People who though not blood-related accept you for who you are and give you smacks on the head for being foolhardy and being an idiot.

What are my personal goals:

1. Pursuit of happiness: For everyone around me to be happy, including myself. Be it monetary (not excessive but enough for my family), physical or emotionally.
2. Fulfilling life : Experiences and to understand people from different walks of life. By traveling, kendo, reading up or meeting people from different walks of life.

What kind of woman am I looking out for:

1. Shares the same values and ideas that I do.
2. Someone who is able to be the cushion when I'm down but smack me in the head when I'm too down.

Things are still fuzzy. But I'll be updating this from time to time as things become clearer to me.
