That Warm Fuzzy Feeling

Waking up on a rainy morning makes me think about a lot of things. A lot of things to take in and sometimes, everything becomes a blur that I need to pause, reflect on things. And what better way to spend my me time than to write my thoughts.

Past weeks have been all about new things - new people, new environment, making new memories. And the gloomy weather somehow makes me remember and miss the old.

Sabi nga ni basha, "Anong masama sa bago?"

The new is interesting, exciting and fun. But there are times when, in my trying to adapt to the new, i eventually use up all my happy energy (and being a more than less introvert person, my stock of happy energy is relatively limited). And probably the past week of learning new things, engraving in your brain and trying to imbibe a new culture left me tired and thinking of the old. 

 Change in environment and in the culture is good. We learn new things and we become better. And that has always been one of my reasons for seeking new paths. And I am happy with my choices and I wouldnt have it any other way. :)

There are probably just days like today when I miss old people - the highschool bestfriend, the best college buddies, and best medical school friends - who i hope are all dry and enjoying the Holiday season; when I miss home where we usually spend our Christmas - where I pray for the families who suffered a lot from the last typhoon; when I look back at memories and let out a sigh - saying "I miss those days."- but smiling again ready to make new memories for the days to come.

It's like Christmas without the warm fuzzy feeling. 
It's not bad. Not entirely sad. It's just different. :)

 Eventually, that warm fuzzy feeling will come back, no matter what because it's Christmas, and the only reason for the celebration will always be around :)

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...

a sad day.

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone. it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst. *** she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces. i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times. looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila. i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classe...
