It's 4:14 AM as im writing this...
It's good to be home and alone.
Joma just graduated from college and she's home [ Mindoro ] for the Holy Week. Her parents stayed for almost two weeks. Syempre hirap matulog, dyahe kumilos. I'm still working *sigh ... meeting goals, meeting expectations.
I cleaned up a cabinet where I put a variety of things I value and also other things that I don't feel like throwing away. Rummaging through all those things stored up there for years was like meeting things of the past. I rediscovered pictures, letters, journals, souvenirs, postcards, receipts, musical play tickets, concert tickets, even plane tickets, and all other tickets, expired credit cards [ I just can't throw away a credit card, can I? ], among many others. I "unearthed" borloloys stuff and stamp collections - hobbies I had long forgotten. [ ha ha ha ] I read some notes and hand-outs from college that made more sense now to me than 5 to 6 years ago. I was saying to myself, "I actually wrote that when I was 19?" I felt I was much wiser then than now [ ha ha ha ]... writing about such abstract topics with so much idealism.
I realized how much I've changed and how much I haven't. How much I've improved and matured and how much I've regressed [ admittedly, in some ways ]. Ok, I hope I was wrong about feeling I was wiser before than I am now. I am much wiser now than I was before. I should be. I SHOULD BE!
This is my 10-minute post. Now I'm getting back to work.
