mundane

im spending a three-week vacation here in the province. ahhh… talk about getting a break.

let’s talk about the mundane things in my life…

… my sister finally graduated last april. after four years of toiling in the university, enduring all those exams and terror teachers and the limited allowance from ate, she’s finally a graduate! ahhh! i can breathe a sigh of relief now. her next problem would be saving enough money from her one-year stunt as a career woman for her med studies. but then again, there’s ate to help. darn! but the one-year respite would be a nice break for me. i can use the time to save up and pay that loan i got for my laptop. (yipee!)

… a few weeks from now, id be turning 23. gosh! im another year older, and yet, nothing much has changed in my existence. apart from a change in my career and a few personal things i acquired for myself, i dont have much to talk (or brag) about. a week ago, i met up with a former roommate.  we were talking about our careers and our families. when she asked me about my lovelife, i just laughed and shrugged. what can i say? the lack of a lovelife is the ONLY constant truth in my life. oh, there was one pretty bad obsession that resulted into a broken heart and several boxes of tissue paper. and there’s a beautiful, friendly ‘attraction’ with someone i met during my first year of work. but that’s a friendship i couldnt afford to lose simply because i gave in to my feelings. besides, its as unknown and as fleeting as the wind, as carefree as the mountain breeze, and as unpredictable as the waves of the ocean. he might fly off to some place tomorrow, or the day after, or perhaps, even today. i just don’t want to freak him out.

… i have a long wish-list that id like to realize before i turn 23. a few of the items there have already come true– like that laptop and a promising (?) career in the academe. im working on numbers one, two, and three though. one, lose some weight (this is a lifelong fantasy. hehe) two, have a beautiful face that can launch a thousand ships (in short, be as beautiful as Helen of Troy. im okay with Aubrey Miles or Miriam Quiambao if the former’s too much of a fantasy). and three, go out on a date in the mountains or at the beach with a special friend. i dont have the guts to ask him because i know he’ll be busy by that time, or probably out of the country already, or taking his exams. but well, miracles do happen (just like it had in christmas time).

… okay, we’ve had too much of the mundane already. till next time then!
