I don't want to be that fleeting moment of your time. I like it when we take it slow, just enjoying what is. No pressure, no drama, no setting up of THE perfect activity that we're supposed to have. No worries. Thank you, life. Coz you're letting me appreciate the best of you. =)
Let's break it down a bit:
* fleeting moments - i say no thanks to superficial hello's, and never mind the devouring of all the available information being pushed so blatantly on us
* what is - i am limited, and you are limited <= that's okay => instead of stressing out on the unattained fancies and desires, i am giving my attention to the quality goods => those that serve me, to become a joyful child of God; i'd rather savor the gifts of the present, than to always ask more and more from each experience
As one of my favorite songs would remind me:
There is no future. There is no past.
There's only this. No day but today.
My only joy is just to be.

i don't know
i guess i just want to post some reminders here, on how life went on after i faced a few unknowns.
* 2nd year high school, 1st day: my name was not in the class listing, so i had to go to the principal's office and be assigned a section, based on my grades. i lied - gave an average grade - so they put me in an average section. i only knew one person - the rest were strangers. but that year turned out to be one of the best years of my life. f.r.i.e.n.d.s. and more.
* college: enrolled in a school far away from home, where i didn't know anybody - no high school mates, no relatives. same with my living situation - everything was new to me - the environment, roommates, commute. i wasn't scared. in fact, i liked the feeling of easing into this part of my life. i loved learning, exploring, and just taking it all in.
i have other stories that i can share, but i'll end the list here for now, since i'm still always sick, and shouldn't spend too much time with whatever. i also have a sink full of dishes waiting for me downstairs.
but the point of this post is to keep me from getting frustrated with the current question marks in my life. i'm still okay. not stressed, nor depressed. i've actually been good. even with two months of sickness. even if work might get to be a bit busier than i'd like it to be. i'm actually hopeful that i will have my share of great days in the near future.
