Reality

Day 2 as reality strikes me hard. Yesterday was horrible and I have to admit that it got the better of me. I flew in feeling perky and excited, only to be welcomed by the immigration and be held for a while.

It brings me to tears that my start wasn't so good. It scares me to my core to have someone burst my bubble, but yeah I am standing tall and I'll face this challenge head on.

I can do this! I kept praying to the Lord earlier to bless me and my family. I do hope I'm doing this with the right motives. I do hope that this would work out for me. May my plans be in accordance to God's will for my life.

This is it

I'm so far from home. I'm missing so many things but I want this. I'll persevere.

Packing

This is it! Four days to go and I'm out of here. Trying to pack my whole room in one go is no easy task. It's like you don't want to leave things behind. I'm learning the definition of PRIORITY and NECESSITY. Two tough words. 


I am excited. I have to admit it but I, too, am scared. Man, leaving the home you've stayed in for 28 years of your life is no easy task. Good bye, comfort zone, is just too freaky. But I am determined to do this and give this a go.

Right now, I'll inhale deeply and get going. I need to move on with life. I need to jump and then, just give it a go. 

With so much love

Dearest Adam,


Last night, 23 May 2011, was truly awesome. You made my cousins happy; most of all, you filled my heart with so much joy.
You made me realize what I wanted in life and yeah, I wanted to have someone like you. I know that the chances of having you is slim and that's fine. I'm here and you're at opposite side of the world. It would really mean literally turning the world upside down for us to be friends and have a relationship to begin with. Haha!


Anyway, as I was watching you perform last night, I couldn't help but tell myself that you are an epitome of the guy I want. You are musically-inclined, passionate about your craft, and you add fun in what you do. I admire that about you. I wish it was easy to find someone like you.


Knowing there's only one you and that you're taken, all I have to do is succumb to reality. And I did so with no bitterness at all. Funny how most girls envy your girlfriend and drag her down. That's just not me. Instead, I praised God for creating you and giving you a breath of life. I'm grateful to God for you because you definitely cause me to do random introspections about my life... About everything! Your songs speak to me. Your tweeds can put a smile on my face and that smile of yours definitely could turn my from upside down and turn my dark nights to sunshiny days.


I pray for more success for you, Adam. I pray that you'll achieve all the goals that you've set for yourself. And I truly pray that you'd find the right girl who'll love you and accept you including all your flaws and shortcomings. May your heart be always filled with peace, joy, and laughter all the days of your life.


Thank you for being you. You definitely have touched my life in a very special way.


Love,
Jamie

Ten

It's my last tenth day and here I am at work, finishing my mom's card computation program as I assist Johann in his Word Building PACE. It's not a bad idea. I'm loving the remaining few moments here in school. I will definitely miss moments like these. :) 

Random

I know this sounds crazy... but here's one of the many proofs that I do NOT message him first at all! ;p hahaha


Paranoid much am I? O yes, I am. (I think)

Pororo is L O V E

Jem <3 Cassie's Pororo

Cassie came for a visit and look who she dragged along with her. Yep, PORORO! :) Well, I just like penguins and this is definitely worth posting on my Blogspot space soooo ENJOY. And yeah, Pororo is definitely LOVE. ^_^

Commitments

College... well, I could say that I was the odd one. Being young, innocent, and quite naive, it was tough looking for a group to fit in. Gratefully, I found three beautiful women who could accept me for who I am, though it didn't come easily.

(From L-R) Ilou, who prefers to be called Maia now, is the oldest in the group. She has treated me like a baby since I dunno when. Yes, I am a bit spoiled by her but despite that, I've learned a lot from her experiences in life.  Joey is the quiet one. Yes, she could spend the whole day without opening her mouth. I guess, opposites do attract. Oh and she's no longer that silent anymore. She could actually talk to me for hours now! I guess that's what stress and her work could do to her. Then, there's Cleo. She was really the closest to me. She treated me like her younger sister and she really was straightforward with me. I liked it that way. She was my number 1 fan and oh boy, she, too was my greatest critique. So, you see, we came from all walks of life, from different backgrounds, with different personalities. How we made this friendship work? I seriously don't know BUT it is working... that's one thing I am sure of.

 Last Saturday, May 7, was awesome. A lot of unexpected events happened. Weeks and weeks ago, Cleii had started texting us since she was coming home for a short vacation. She wanted to see us and so, we, all made an effort to make it happen. As it turned out, it was just fitting to meet up and hang out. We had all the right reasons in the world why we should get together. How? Why? Well, here it goes...

• May 6 - Mark, Joey's hubby's, 32nd birthday
• It was Ilou and her boyfriend's 2nd monthsary
• Cleo's home
• My Singapore announcement

But nothing beat what happened at Abe that night.

Bong took that little red box out of his pocket and asked Cleii to marry him! Like for real! I couldn't stop myself from crying. You see, it's not everyday that I'd get to witness a close friend of mine get engaged!!

It was a joyous moment for everyone. Seeing Cleii get engaged made me realize that fairy tales could exist after all.

I went home feeling blessed for all that the Lord has done for me. If you only knew what my friends and I had gone through, you wouldn't even expect that we'd still be standing by now. 

I went home realizing that I am blessed to have committed friends. We may not be perfect and though we hurt each other every now and then, we still bring out the best in each other. That's what really matters.

Toxic!

I've been so BUSY! what's going on? I need a break! I deserve a vacation. I'm becoming cranky lately and I'm hating it. I know that there's no excuse for misbehaving BUT when things treat you unfairly, sometimes you just can't help it but snap! Oh boy! I hope to snap out of this soon...
