Who is there for me?

There are days where in I ponder too much on things, vague things in life. I hop from one thought to another. It maybe because of too much stress from school work or current situation, or maybe just because I'm bored and I have nothing else to keep me occupied. Okay, that's a lie, there are tons of things I've been putting on hold for years, in example: clean my closet, dump old clothes, dump old bags and shoes, basically clean up in general.  But there's nothing else better I need to do, that will be a more honest sentence. 

So last night, I thought: what deep, sort of mind boggling status can I put out there, one that will get people thinking and have people to say "this girl's got something in mind". And so I posted:

"And in the days I'm alone, who is there for me?"

And now I thought that my friends would be commenting away, making fun of me, of how dramatic I am or whatever- but no. To my surprise (not complete surprise) my mom made the first comment. She gave the answer I already knew, that God would be there for me always and forever, with the additional "me" in her comment. 

Just when I thought my mother's comment was comforting, I read my father's comment. He comments: "ako, no.1, always n forever wil be der 4 u." (translation: Me, number 1, always and forever will be there for you.)  Now here, I almost cried. I know he only stated the obvious, but for a guy, a father to put out and clarify his feelings or emotions right there in public- it was something really sweet. I will cherish that comment, hence the blog entry for it and the print screen shot.

So you think you've had it good with friends, well you just don't acknowledge that you've had it greater with the family, and best with our Lord Jesus Christ. In times of trouble and hardships, it's family and God who will be with you through out the pain, it's them who will endure with you those aching moments.

I am thankful for my family. Thankful for my parents. I have failed them many times, I haven't graduated yet even though I was supposed to last March 2010, I've wasted one whole semester (that's tens and thousands of money), and I was at the brink of failing again this semester. But my mother and father were truly supportive "if you pass, then good; if not, you can try again next semester." WOW! I just feel I am truly blessed. It's overwhelming that I must share this blessing to others.

thankful and blessed,

Short Hair Day

Today I got a haircut. After attempting to get a short hair cut over a hundred times, after debating with mom about a short hair for the nth time, and after chickening out at the end of it all, today- FINALLY, I get a hair cut. It isn't THAT short but it's the shortest I've gone ever since kinder (if my memory serves me right). Maybe I can cut it even shorter next time? 

I enjoyed watching America's Next Top Model today with mom. A model's hair was cut off and she cried since she's had it long ever since. But she did look better after the cut. After my haircut, I didn't realize how heavy my hair was. My head felt so light after I chopped them off. I wanted to take a photo of my hair that got cut off but it was already swept away even before my haircut was over. Maybe my hair was that long that it caused a lot of mess even before the haircut was over?

My long hair photo.

 Just before the chopping.

 Here we go.

shortest hair since kindergarten. haha!

 And to close...

My favorite chicken, it's from Pizza Hut! New Orleans.

Semester Break: FINALLY!

Blogging from my boyfriend's new laptop! :) Congratulations love! Intel Core i5, it's an ASUS K42J and I love its keypads. :)

Semester break is here! All the final grades aren't in yet but it doesn't stop me from celebrating that the break has arrived! I still have a project to submit this Tuesday though, but pssh. 

Now that was just a quick update. And oh, last night I slept in my room! I'm back! :) After spending weeks at mom's room as punishment for "abusing" my health and sleeping so late. 

I'm off to a reunion dinner with Cherish friends. I'm bringing my boyfriend. Cheers to this break! Can't wait to do more blogging, adventures with my Diana Mini, and going on food trips (oh the pig in me)!
