Roller Coasters

Life can be a bit boring once it slips into a groove and goes around a route. However, like roller coasters, one just needs to recognize the ups & downs as parts of the ride that bring about expectations of what's to come, excitement as it nears and exhilaration as it happens. And like all roller coaster rides, I can either dread and sulk boring part or just prepare and brace myself coz while the climb to the highest peak may be a drag (although having a chance to admire the scenery below is always a good thing), the descent from that particular climb is the best part of the whole ride.



*Note: I know this won't make sense to a lot of people. Whatever! As long as it makes perfect sense to me! =D

Shoutout: Happy birthday Aloy!!!

Most Boring Post Ever

It's been awhile since my last post. So much has happened that I wanted to blog about but couldn't. So I finally got an internet connection that won't cost me a fortune in loose change and it feels good to be able to blog again.

I now live in Thornlie, a suburb of Perth in Western Australia. (But I'm pretty sure if you're reading this, you already know that by now.) Anyhoo, it's been really fun here. I live with two crazy girls, as crazy as you can get. I guess it's true what they say about water finding its own level or something like that. hehehe

I live really near where I work and I got a bike I can ride to get around. Work is pretty good. It's the most fun I've had at any job ever. Sometimes it's really busy but the people I work with manage to keep the atmosphere really light and fun all the time. So that's really cool.

So I'm sorry for boring the s**t out of all y'all. Just had to write something down quick and keep everyone posted. I'll do better next time. hehehe

I miss everyone...

I'm Bored!

I am.
I need to do something.
Preferably something new.
Something fun.
And relaxing... or not.
Just something, anything.

Funny thing, this boredom. It's weird to think of all the things I wanna do in my life or with my life (to my life??? hehe), but at the moment, just to fill the time between then and now, I have nothing to do. I know I should be doing something. But what? Oh well...

Shoutout! Happy birthday Ganter! =D

Life in 20 Kilograms

I never thought packing would be this hard. The thought of putting my life in a 20-kg suitcase can be tricky. It really puts into perspective the things that are important to me. It necessitates me to prioritize and pick what things are more important than others. It helps me realize which things I often take for granted, which things I can do without, and which things I think I need in order to live.

Taking pieces from certain people I'd like to remember or bringing something I hope would cure homesickness (when the need arises) while fitting all the work clothes, street clothes, sleep clothes, whatever, it's all getting so confusing. All I know is I've got to think this all through and get this done soon or I'll end up rushing and forgetting some of the most important things if I keep putting it off for tomorrow, as I realize that my tomorrows here at home are limited and fast approaching zero.

It's Official!!!

So I got word today that makes all the plans I've made the past few months official: I got my visa and am moving to Australia. It has brought back the excitement I thought I already lost, having waited so many months without word or certainty. And somehow part of the excitement has already turned into fear, terror and anxiety.

I've never been away from home for extended periods of time and being so far away from my comfort zone scares me a little. The thought of home being a plane ride away, and not just a place I can drive to, can be unnerving. But still the promise of a new city and new adventures, the opportunity to prove to myself that I can sustain myself, and the possibilities for personal growth and development, far outweigh shaky nerves.

You can't hit a game-winning buzzer-beater if you're too scared to miss, right? So here I go taking my shot with fingers crossed that I don't miss.

Guess Who's Back

They say you don't know what you're missing till it's gone. True. But I also think sometimes you don't know you miss something till you get it back... or in this case do it again.

I've been busy the past few months and always thought that I couldn't find time to post new entries to this blog. But I think as with a lot of things time is not found, it has to be made. And now being able to post again, it's weird, but I think I missed this.

So here's to hoping I don't forget to make time for more blog entries to come.
