Thinking Aloud - My Random Thoughts

It’s been quite a while since I last posted a blog entry.. I have attempted to do so a couple of times but I always end up feeling too lazy to write anything. Hehehe…

I wanted to do a year end thing last December or January since 2007 has definitely been quite a year for me. There have been so many changes including a new job and a significant other for the first time in my life. Being a stickler for details though, I would probably have an unfinished entry in draft status because I would feel that there are details lacking and it wouldn’t be worth publishing if I missed some thing… Hehehe… (weird lah?)

I decided then  that I would write a blog that  captures what I am thinking and feeling at this moment… It would not be a narrative or sequence of events written chronological order… (redundant? sequence and chronological order? hehehe)

My Friendster horoscope partly reads:

The Bottom Line

A warm smile is all you need now, as you’re appreciating the smaller things in life.

Came from Mass a few hours ago, I was again alone but I didn’t mind. After all, it was an opportunity to pray with no one I know watching me (well, except for God of course). No, I did not cry this time. I knelt down and thanked God for all that He has blessed me with. Sometimes, I would like to ask if I deserved all of it. Not that I am complaining of course.

I have a good job, earning more than enough I believe to cover all my needs as well as my family’s needs (our wants is another story ;)). My job gave me the opportunity to travel to the US and stay there for almost 8 weeks. I am able to learn more and hone my skills.

I love my family. We are far from being the perfect family but I wouldn’t trade them for anything in this world. To see them happy makes me happy. I am a proud daddy’s girl. Spoiled in some ways by my dad I think. I wouldn’t say that my mom and I aren’t close though. When she is in a good mood, she can be like a good friend, sharing my apprehensions and kilig moments. I learn a lot from her. I miss my sister who went to Dubai last year. I think that she understands me the most even if her patience runs quite thin sometimes. Chatting with her over YM makes me feel that I have someone who will be ready to fight with me whatever happens.  My little sister is a constant source of joy. Seeing her grow makes me feel like a proud mom. Hehehe.

I am also proud to be part of the Simon and Alcantara clans. I enjoy seeing our family grow each year. I am grateful for how my titas and titos show their concern and appreciation. I love talking to my cousins and spending time with them. We might not see each other often but the family ties are never broken.

I am grateful to have good sets of friends. To know you can count on them and they can count on you.. To have people with whom you can share the good and the "could have been better" times…

And of course, how can I forget Cholo? He is the biggest source of change in my life the past year. :-D  He made me cry even before we became a couple. I had cried 5 years worth of tears from the time we got together. Hehehe. But he also makes me feel very much loved and very much cared for (most of the time anyway… hehehe). its in the little things… the letters he writes including the short poems he composes, the "because I felt I like it/because I thought of you" gifts and the "because I would like to spend time with you" dates… the way he seems proud to let the world know that we are together… :-D  I feel grateful for I know that whatever may happen in the future, God has given me a good man for my first love.
