25 thoughts @ 25

OK, this is quite a challenge. 25 is a huge number for thoughts?!! Anyways, I am doing this for the fun of reading this post on my 30th birthday. So here they go, in random order.

No matter how much I wanted to make something or someone stay with me forever, it just could not be. I have to let people and things go, that's just the way it is in this world. All I could ever do is to try to stay in touch and reminisce the fun and the moments that I had with them.

Life goes on. Whatever the circumstances may be, life just goes on. So I better go with the flow and enjoy the ride.

The relationships that I have made with the people around me is the only thing that matters. What good would my achievements/successes be if I do not have any effect in the world around me?

I must do or at least try the thing that makes me happy. A teacher of mine once told me that as long as my heart is into it, I am on the right track. It all boils down to where my heart is.

To learn and relearn. Ironic as it is, just when I have thought that I have already matured and had enough, life would then just throw something at me that shakes up whatever I have held as true. Do not underestimate the universe. Be humble as always.

Thoughts become things. I got this from a book I received from a good friend.

Magic, miracles or whatever you call it, happens from time to time. Pay attention to the things in daily life.

(oh?! 17 more to go... I am running out of entries to add to this list. I need a few more moments of introspection. Hahah)

24th birthday

i have so much to thank for today.

first, i've got friends who didn't fail to greet me a "happy birthday" even if we hardly talk now, and even if i have been busy lately. thank you so much guys for still keeping in touch. salamat kahit papaano nagpaparamdam pa rin kayo... :)

new friends who made me feel welcome and i think could eventually turn things around when i'm down

great work. i'm really loving it: the people and the kind of stuff that i do. we are just so lucky. after all that we have been through, who could have thought something like this could ever happen to us? thanks for the constant prayers ma! :)

i have my family, who are in good health and are just doing fine. thank you so much Lord

i am still hoping and wishing for the best things that are yet to come

my nihongo is getting better and somehow i could feel that enjoying life here in this part of the globe is do-able for someone like me

there are still a lot of things that i could think of right now. but for the sake of not boring you, i'm stopping here.

thanks folks!

---love you---
