Carpe Diem

I was on my way home from work. I went to the workstation at the guardhouse to log myself out when this lady looked at me with serious eyes. I'm really stupid at things like that. I tried to think of every possibility of knowing this lady. I really can't remember. I thought of looking at both my sides but didn't do it. I can't afford to embarrass someone who might knew me by looking uncertain in front of her. Well, what I did was to also stare at her with a little smile as if I knew her also. After a few seconds, she finally spoke. She said: "Are you a student?". Wow she's fluent and pretty by the way. Although her words took me by surprise, I just smiled and shook my head. I was relieved that I didn't actually know her and didn't have to embarrass her like I did to someone before. She went on and told me: "You look like a student." I really didn't know what to say so I just smiled. She smiled back. Well, that shouldn't flatter me as it meant that I look ridiculously young for my age (but it did flatter me lolz). I'm a college instructor handling 3rd year and 4th year students.

I've had a few NBA cards from high school and I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who would want to buy it. Here are a few:

2009 was a year where predictions for people born on the year of the pig are not quite lucky. I'm one of them. I however haven't experienced this "bad luck". At least not yet. 2009 came like the usual year for me, well not really usual. I've been lucky hehehe. I got a new task for blogging, a paid blogging site paid me, and my google adsense had been earning (not big but I'm glad it's moving). I was able to give gifts to most under my list (I can't give everyone though, there are too many of them). I am almost done with my pending jobs. Lastly, I bought quite a few presents for myself. I hope these predictions don't get in my way. We all know how thoughts created by these predictions affect our environment and eventually give a feeling of fulfillment. Optimism! That's my new year's resolution!

Funny how I can't seem to decide on what to do about misidentifying people. I have people in my YM contacts which I have no idea where I've come into contact with. I don't know who they are really. Though their names are familiar, I really can't recall any instance of encounter with them. I'm really poor with people. The thought just bothers me. Should I ask them promptly? Wouldn't it be rude? What if they really know me? I hate this. I'm an idiot.

I've learned another origami from the internet. It's a better looking rose than those that I already know.

One of our relatives gave this card for my grandmother who died Dec. 02, 2008.

God's Garden Must Be Beautiful

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped His arms around you,
And whispered, "Come to Me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only picks the best.
And when i saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain.
I could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.

Reasons, reasons, there are always reasons. Fear is intensified by the trauma and it became the limiting factor for this being. It is the reason for the kind of existence being lived by. It fused and cannot be separated. When will it end? Only time can tell where a mediocre life can never be achieved. Read between those lines and see the struggle within those chains. They cuffed the hands with fury, keeping them on the ground and there's just no key to set it free. Can you feel it? Can you read? Time will tell and time is running out. What can be done? What can be done?
