"Because I made a promise," Shin-Ju said.
"I promise her that I'd be with her...
and help her take the consequences of making her own choices.
Now more than ever, I have to be with her.
I can't break that promise now. I won't.
Promises should be kept no matter what the cost."

Idle Asset
D.N. entry last March 15, 2011
Side note: In depth appreciation might be expected to those who studied or have knowledge in accounting.
Every parent could / would say that their children are their 'Investment' [Investment is the commitment of money or capital to the purchase of financial instruments or other assets so as to gain profitable returns in the form of interest, dividends, or appreciation of the value of the instrument (capital gains).] In other words, an investment is expected to give returns from that something given out.(e.g money) Following that deduction, then children are in fact expected to return whatever their parents gave out for them [plus interests?] . I'm just quite not sure if it should be monetary.
Then I pondered, can I consider myself as an "Investment?" As of this moment, I haven't given any "return" to my parents, sufficient enough to be called "return." In fact, I always incur expenses! It could be tolerated if it was 'incidental costs' but then I think my parents are incurring 'extraordinary expenses' already. Is this even capitalizable? Their supposed to be 'Accounts Receivable' term was even extended that an increase in 'allowance' was needed. I just hope that it won't turn into 'writing-off' due to aging.
I thought I couldn't be an 'Investment' then. An 'asset' perhaps. Yeah, and 'Idle Asset.' Still of no use, and incurs expenses from time to time. 'Storage costs' anyone? I'm still hoping for myself, in fact an 'Idle Asset' still has 'Asset' in its name. I wonder, will selling it or keeping it be more beneficial? Oh God, please don't make me a 'Liability.'
What are you?
Are you a good 'investment' just like the other children in the world?
