INSPIRED
Over the river and through the woods …To my grandmother’s house I will go… maybe tomorrow
Hey there, ho there, and a good how do you do to all of you.
My mind is currently going in circles so please feel free to close the window if you want.
Do you ever get those days when you just want to put your feet up and just smile at the world. Yes, I am odd like that. I smile when I do not know what I am smiling at – especially these days. There is a sense of contentment that comes quite crazily these days, yet I long for something else.
I think I may be longing for the sea… yes, a day at the beach would be lovely. But I do have to wonder…. the kids are a bit sick these days, but I reckon that is to be expected, what with the crazy electricity, crazy weather, crazy everything! 
But you know what? My week is just peachy. 
I feel invincible lately, and perhaps on a lighter note, I feel inspired.
See, I want to write all day long, and perhaps even take pictures here and there. Oh, I have created an account with Flickr, and its http://www.flickr.com/neverdainty.
Then there is this great frustration to write poetry and haikus. God, I wish I had the talent to do so. Plus, I have this great urge to draw again. Do you know how long it has been since I last drew anything? Ages. Okay, doodles only notebook margins not included, but you know, draw…
A few days ago, I was running high on approximately 4 cups of coffee while punching the keyboard, I took a few minutes of my time and drew away at my Page One notebook (no, not my Moleskine). It did not take me ten minutes really, but I came up with this:
Squiggly Lines
Today, I write this post without any idea how it will come out. I shall just tap these keys and maybe make sense of whatever ramblings will come out of my brain.
See, I have just heard news that somehow make me want to cry, but at the same time faint with suffocation. Truly, having a family is a bit hard because all the decisions do not affect you alone, rather everybody else who relies on you. For example, I cannot just jump from one job to another because I want to. But I cannot keep staying at a job that just keeps giving me headaches for lack of money. I mean, seriously, i find it hard to stay in a job that does not give me enough pay – because of my family.

Pre-Birthday thoughts
My birthday is coming up. Yeahp, it’s just 13 days and counting, and then I will officially hit my quarterlife mark. 25. Whew! That was quite a journey for 25 years, I’ll say. I know a lot of people have gone through more than whatever I have gone through, but for me, I think that was one heck of a first 25 rounds around the oval of my life. I’m barely breathing, but I never felt so alive in all my life. I actually feel so awesome and swell – despite numerous comments about my weight. What can I say?? My weight is my sign of PROGRESS & HAPPINESS! Teehee..
I wanna be a SUPER
You know, one of the things I want dearly for my quarterlife mark is to be a “super”. You know, a superhero. However, I do not want to be SuperWoman, or SuperMom. I want to be a SuperGirl. Yes, the younger one, the one who is still filled with all that vigour and strength, and sometimes even the recklessness that the younger have. Maybe because I am still young at heart. Sure, being a SuperMom would be a great honor, but I still lean towards being SuperGirl. I have no idea why, really. Maybe it’s because SuperGirl is already super before she became a woman, which means she will undoubtedly become SuperMom.
In relation to my dream of being a SuperGirl, I have longed for this piece of jewelry for almost a year now. The SuperGirl necklace from http://supergirlandfriends.wordpress.com, courtesy of Ms. Aileen Siroy (absiroy[at]gmail[dot]com). Isn’t it a beauty?
The necklace costs Php. 1,800.00, an amount I cannot spare for myself, even for my birthday. So I will just continue to watch this necklace with longing, until possibly, I have no idea when. It looks really pretty though, and it makes me smile just by looking at it. Anybody want to buy that for my birthday gift? LOL
End of a LONG week
[written July 3, 2009: but I fell asleep on the laptop.. so it was not posted. 
]
Hey all, how is your long week? Me, I am so tired… So tired that I keep asking people for hugs – even online, but not so much offline. Since my last post, let’s just say that a lot of things has happened. I need to write them down so as to unload some of the weight that feels like lead in my heart, brain, and.. soul? This is bound to be a long post, so sit back, grab some coffee, and start hitting the down button.. or the mousewheel, whichever floats your boat.
Back to School Lurchie
Okay, I never thought I would go back to school. Sure, I mean, I always wanted to, but knowing myself to be a very deliquent student, I feared going back to school. I guess I lost the fear because last Monday, I enrolled myself at a Masters program at Silliman University. We have classes every Saturday only, which is cool – that means I have to go to school tomorrow. Hopefully, we will just get loads of assignments and be dismissed early so I can grab some Zzzs.. So that will be three subjects, that are computer related, of course, but I think this is somewhat geared for higher positions such as project management.
Live for Each Day
Today I received a request from a friend, urging me to watch this video found at YouTube called “99 Balloons.” At first, I kept telling him that I have already heard the song “99 red balloons,” and that I will look at it some other time. I must give it to him and his persistence that I finally asked him to just send me the YouTube link since I could just view it over YM. Would you imagine that it was NOT the song “99 Red Balloons,” rather something more… awe inspiring.
The video clip was more of a movie or slideshow, showcasing the full life of a baby boy named Eliot Mooney. He was a baby boy who, even before he was even born, was diagnosed of Trisonomy 18 or Edward’s Disease. Doctors predicted that he would not reach childbirth, but he did, and in fact, he defined what the medical world dictated, and lived his life to the fullest. Eliot lived for 99 days, and for each day his parents celebrated it as his birthday. And for each day of his wonderful life, he was able to touch lives and inspire others to make the most of each living day. He is truly a manifesto of God’s greatness without the lengthy sermons and flashy slide shows. In fact, God showed His goodness and love through a baby boy who did not even get to utter a word. Amazing.
The video brought tears to my eyes, really, for a lot of reasons. A) I am a mess when it comes to children, especially those who are so utterly helpless. B) Reminds me how life is just too short. C) God is good. D) I am thankful that God is there for my children…. and other factors.
