In my life I always came across this circumstance like, if there is any good thing is happening to me soon I will face some bad thing.Same If there is any bad thing happening to me,soon I will face some good thing.So instead of worring for the bad thing that happened, I started enjoying it because I know soon, something good going to happen.Ok I dont want you gals to get bore with my stupid philosophy.Letz get back to the margaritta.
