Affected

So everyone should know by now that Euro is dropping and at a new low rate.
i am happy i can exchange some and keep for future use (well, i'm pretty sure i will go Europe at least once in my lifetime. So it will come handy.)
i am unhappy because many businesses are badly affected and when this happened, the first thing to cut is usually Marketing Budget. So my sales get affected in a bad way.

And recently the relationship between North Korea and South Korea is tensed.
So this is gonna have certain effect on Asia economy.
Besides all the fab cosmetic & skincare products, prices of home electronic products will be affected due to changes in Won rate.
Most importantly, we may have a bear-ish stock market and businesses will be more prudent in media spending. Again, my sales will be affected.
so i will be unhappy if the outlook worsen between these 2 countries.

It's also no news what is happening in Thailand now.
Although the situation seems to be better but it's still risky to travel there. in my context.
i am happy when i see the low fare on various airlines for flights to Bangkok.
But i am unsure when it will be safe for me to step foot at that supposed-to-be-land-of-smile-turned-bloody-land.
so i am unhappy because i can't make use of the cheap fare to travel there.

All these situations are happening outside of my little world, my cozy home.
Yet the effect on my life is considerable.
And to make things worse, all these are beyond my control.
well... read the news then.
