Random Blabbers, part III

Some thoughts nung graduation ni JP last sunday ..

• I still can't believe na 10 years na akong graduate ng highschool! And at that time, senior kinder pa lang siya. Now, he's an alumnus of that school. How time really flies..
• I remember when we're still kids and si kuya pa lang yung graduating from school, we always ask our mom or dad for money just to buy some food. I remember pinagagalitan kami ni daddy kasi ang kulit kulit namin. Ngayon, sina mommy na ang nagrerequest na ibili namin sila ng food kasi nagugutom na sila! hehehhe..
• I had a blast taking pics of JP while he's on stage accepting his numerous awards and while he's seated next to the other awardees. He is awarded 3rd Honorable Mention and infairness, siya lang yung guy sa mga honor students! Congrats, bunso! heheheh..
• I met few of my classmates way back in highschool sa graduation ni JP. 3 of them were his teacher and the other one was a sister of JP's classmate. Medyo nde kami nakapagchikahan because they were super busy preparing for the graduation. I also had a chance to talk to my senior year classroom adviser. Infairness, she gained weight and still wears the same haircut. heheheh..
• I can't help but reminisce while I was walking along the corridors of my old high school. I remember the days while we were still students in that school. Ang dami namin kalokohan nun! hehehhe.. Medyo madami na din changes sa school. Wala na yung dating CAT HQ at yung dating stage where we held our graduation. Meron na kasi silang gym ngayon. Nakakainis nga lang kasi nde namin napakinabangan. Atleast nakita ko na yung development fee namin! hehehehe.. 4 years din kami sinisingil nun!

Hey, boyfriend! It's your birthday!

Today is Randall's birthday!

(very hyper mode version)
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you! Yey!
(Dude, you know me! hyper talaga ako! hehehhe..)

Since wala akong birthday gift sa yo, I'm alloting this space in my blog to honor you as my birthday gift (takot ka ba? heheheh). In case you're not aware, it's a tradition in the CFC community that everytime a person celebrates his/her birthday, we honor and horror them. It's like giving a friendster testimonial in person. hehehhe.. Anyway, here it is..

Si Randall..
.. masarap kasama kapag food trip.. may kumakain kasi ng mga nde ko kinakain at taga-ubos sa food namin pag nde ko na kaya.. hehehehe..
.. enjoy kausap.. lalo na kapag ang pinag-uusapan niyo yung mga hilig niya, like business (basta yung pwedeng pagkaperahan), real estate and career. pero kung magkukwento ka ng mga walang kalatuy- latuy, expect mo na nde yan magrereact at kelangan mo na mag-isip ng panibagong topic.. in short, bored na yan! hehehhehe..
.. kakaiba ang sense of humor.. nde ko pa rin makakalimutan yung mga instance na sumakit ang tiyan ko sa kakatawa dahil sa mga pinaggagawa mo(alam mo na yun!)! natatawa pa rin ako pag naalala ko! hehehehhe
.. napaka friendly.. kabago- bago sa subdivision nila, officer na agad ng homeowners association! san ka pa?(bossing, pautang!) heheheh..

(eto talagang honoring na..)
.. acknowledges and learns from his mistakes.. everytime he does something wrong, he takes note of it so that next time he won't commit the same mistake again (hopefully).
.. strives to be the best person he could possibly be.. he really invests sa mga books. He even encourage me to read some of the books na meron siya ( na hanggang ngayon, ni isa, wala pa akong natatapos!).
.. values the people around him.. he maintains good relationships with the people around him.
.. values his faith and principles.. he knows what values to prioritize. He knows how important God is in his life.

madami pang good traits itong taong ito.. pero I know a lot of people already knew about that.. (or wala na kasi ako maisip na good traits niya kasi puro panira yung mga naiisip ko! hehehehe... ).

(DISCLAIMER: skip this paragraph, if you don't want to throw up.. mushy content)
My message for you.. (seryoso ito!)
I'm always thankful to God that I've met someone like you. Although you have flaws, you still continue to shine in everything that you do. These imperfections allow you to grow and learn more about yourself. I'm also thankful that you were always there for me in my ups and downs. You willingly accepted me even if I'm weird. You continue to love me even if you learn more weird things about me. You are such a blessing to me that I always thank God for having you as His special gift to me. I love you! (aww... nasusuka na ako sa mga pinagsusulat ko! hehhehe.. )

My wish for you.. ( aside from sana mailibre mo ako!)
May God continue to bless you and your family with everything your heart desires.
May God bless you with the gift of wisdom and discernment to help you give a decision that is righteous and just.
May God grant you patience in everything that you do.
May God guide you to be a blessing for others.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOYFRIEND! (Ang tanda mo na! hehehe....)

Quarter Life Crisis daw o!?

A week ago, I told Randall that I think I'm having some sort of a "midlife crisis". I told him that I feel old already. And the fact that my youngest brother is graduating from high school, I really feel old. I don't want to reminisce about the things I did for this kid ( he's still a baby for me!) because I might get depressed again. hehehe.... Aside from that, I'm a little bit frustrated because I have a lot of plans lined up that I haven't accomplished yet. I'm a little worried that I might not even accomplish those plans. Ok, now i'm really depressed! sigh...

Anyway, I did a little research on the web about midlife crisis and I found this definition of mid life crisis in wikipedia as "an emotional state of doubt and anxiety in which a person becomes uncomfortable with the realization that life is halfway over." Then the other day, Vienna mentioned that I might be experiencing what therapists or psychologists call a "quarterlife crisis". Again, I checked google and this came out in wikipedia

"The 'quarterlife crisis' (QLC) is a term applied to the period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the ages of 21 - 29. The term is named by analogy with mid-life crisis."

Also mentioned are the emotional chracteristics of this so called quarterlife crisis:

• feeling "not good enough" because one can't find a job that is at his/her academic/intellectual level
• frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career
• confusion of identity
• insecurity regarding the near future
• insecurity regarding present accomplishments
• re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
• disappointment with one's job
• nostalgia for university or college life
• tendency to hold stronger opinions
• boredom with social interactions
• financially-rooted stress
• loneliness
• desire to have children
• a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you

Well, I do feel some of this emotional characterisitcs, so definitely I'm currently experiencing this QLC. Did further searching on the web and I found out that there's a website that focuses on this crisis! I checked the website and there's so many articles discussing how to cope up with quarterlife crisis and stuff. I can't even believe that there's a website and a couple of books dedicated for this! In fairness, the site is informative in the sense that there are articles that will help you cope up with QLC and it also has a forum. heheheh... Anyway, you may check out the site at www.quarterlifecrisis.com. Let me know what you think.
