* twenty-o-nine *
"Happy 2009!"
Due to the failure of my USB, I wasn't able to post my New Year post. Sigh. And I had the only copy there and when I was about to post it, poof I can't open the drive. So much for my reflections and resolutions. So I'm just going to run down some of the things that has made my day and those that were bothering me lately.
As I travel back to 2008, there were significant events that shaped the person I am now -- stronger and still imperfect. Relationships with people made me think about significant things, how quickly one can change and how one can really prove their worth. One day you get out of the house, had fun and laughed like there was no tomorrow only to get spoiled by the people at home. I've been there and I can't blame anyone for it. Of course, one gets stressed every now and then; "when will I have this and that?", "what is it with you?", "where are you going when you have no one?" and even "how are you living your life? ". It's tiring to hear the same arguments over and over and still there's no change. Being aware of the things going around me, I'm sure of one thing - my parents are doing the best that they could to give us a brighter future.
Noticing the difference I felt back in La Union as compared to Baguio, life there is walking around and appreciate what you see and upon my arrival here in Baguio, I notice people going around and are very concentrated with what they're doing that they don't seem to notice little things around them. My comparison may vary though and I'm not saying that everyone will agree to this. It's just one of the reflections I saw in the province as compared to the city.
Last Saturday, National Bookstore SM Branch called me that my order of the Twilight Saga has arrived. Actually they told me that they reserved New Moon and Eclipse for me. Frances accompanied me to NBS and I was reserved three books including Breaking Dawn. It's such a nice birthday treat for me because I've waited long enough to have these books and 200.00 was cut from the price. I'm really happy about it haha.
The death of my grandpa (paternal side) really brought twists to all related. As I have discussed in my previous post, I could not think of any other excuse. What has happened isn't desired by any of us but still it seemed that way to those who weren't around at the time of my grandpa's death. I pray that his soul will rest in peace...
Ahh yes, the holiday break was fun. There were tons of chocolates, ham, wine and champagne that we all indulged on. And sadly, I gained a lot of pounds. I should be more conscious of my health now since I've been having angina (chest pains) last year. Sticking to the ideal diet would be tricky but is needed haha. My genetic material includes familial disorders - Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension. Luckily, I haven't been having asthma attacks lately.
As for my birthday yesterday, I'm glad I was able to celebrate it with my family. Wish? I'm really contented with what I have now. It may seem weird to others but I really want and peace and wisdom among us all. Growing tired of the arguments around me, I can't help but think and doubt God. I know I shouldn't.
Well, that's it for now. I realized I'm running late for school. Haha. Ciao!
