Days 23

When you slack off, it gets addicting.

As you can see from the turn of events, it got so hectic and I became too careless that my two week formed habit was disrupted the moment I felt tired. I mean, the first night out was something I recovered from but then the second day, they were all for a night out again, something you cant refuse. I was able to go home so late that I dont have the strength to write about something anymore. Then came the next day, and apparently, my mum had a bit of money she received and suddenly wanted to eat out. So naturally, we ate out very late that even though I got home early, I still could not write. Then came Friday. It was all okay. But then this is genuine slacking off because I just discovered a new anime and it was very addicting enough for me to lose track of time.

All these excuses aside, I really hope that I continue this 30 day series even though I have the tendency to slack off and everything. As I had discovered recently on, that its alright as long as I end it. Definitely, I would put an ending to this after the whole 30 days is over. You know the promise of having to end this sooner or later just brings up so much hope that it makes me happy. This kind of feels like my student days where I feel happy as I am about to graduate. You know, the feeling like youve been through too much in the school year and youve had gone through a lot of feelings. That you are just glad that it's over. Like there is an end to everything.

I remember my professor saying it. This too shall pass. It reminds us that despite our hardships, everything will come to an end. As well as our happy times. It warns us that the good times will come to an end as well, so we better prepare ourselves and plan ahead. I think it is a great reminder to ourselves. It reminds us that we are still alive. We will still be witnesses to a lot of beginnings and endings. I guess this is the concept of hope. As long as you are alive, there is hope. And I am happy to be alive and feeling hopeful. There will be better days ahead, as much as there will be challenges ahead. I am given a choice on what to believe. So then, I chose, hope. That, despite the challenges, I would be able to go through it alive, and that, when better days arive I would have a chance to enjoy it, and recall it when I am feeling down, and hold on to the promise that after this all comes to pass something better will begin. That is why, as long as I am alive I will not lose hope. Because one day, The Lord will call me to another happier, better place, and until that time, I will not lose the hope that he gave me. Only at that time will I give it up, because where I will go next, there will no longer be any need for it.

Less than a year to go before the presidential elections and he media has started a coverage frenzy on who would be the potential candidates. When I was younger I feel so hyped out whenever this period happens and even though I am too young to vote, I was still excited. Now, more than three elections later, times have changed, I have witnessed a lot of those politicians say their piece, have their chance in the limelight, be suddenly forgotten, eat their words, join a former rival group, the works. I've somehow develped an apathy towards them. Like no matter who the politicians would be, it would not make a difference. They are all one and the same. They would cheat, change sides, do some shameless advertising, all for he sake of a win. All for the sake of money. I've seen them unravel their true sides. The ones you thought were heroes were just as controversial as the villain they were trying to fight. It was all a matter of perspective. The oned who reveal the information to ...

You may have one of those things in your past. When you were young and you thought that you are free to do anything in the world. When you felt like every moment should be seized and every dream should be fulfilled. These days it can easily be described as YOLO. You know, you only live once. But then one day you wake up all grown up and have taken a few responsibilites here and there, with the wisdom enough to do better than use Yolo as an excuse. And then, on one fateful day you see the remnants of what you did in the past and just have a look of disbelief and suddenly ask yourself what really made you do it in the first place. You know, the after effects of those wild things you did when you were young and free. I happened to have that same experience today, and it was equally shocking as the last time I had it. Still, many people can consider me a late bloomer. I was right in that. In my student days, I studied like my life depended on it and literally had no time to dawdle around o...

Days 22

I am finally home and am early! It's all thanks to God. He probably planned it in advance. Well, thanks as well to my office mate Niel, who happened to live in Almar. So with all of this, a big thank you! Which gives me time to write for the day since I'm not as exhausted as I would be. Today we went bowling. It's not the typical competition bowling where I had to do my best and be nervous all the time, it's the relaxed version of bowling, where no one really cares about your score and you eat tons of food. The only score you'ld care about is your own, and I have actually done pretty well when I'lm not nervous. Only that, I can't help but remember the good bowling memories when we were in a tournament and everyone has to do their best. I've seen so good techniques that I feel like no one in my team can actually compare to our usual players back then. A strike for them is usual, most of the time, they strike or spare. It's not unheard of to get double...
