I was watching the news last night and there’s just too many unpleasant news. The bus accident in Bicol caught my attention because the bus line involved in the accident is my friend’s favorite public vehicle every time she goes home in the province. There were several casualties and it’s just sad that accidents like that can be avoided but I guess, some drivers are just reckless. On the other note, I hope we have a good lawyer that specializes with injuries like Chicago personal injury lawyers so that cases that involves minor and major injuries can be resolved in no time.

It is only by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure. The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.

~Joseph Campbell

Oftentimes, I find myself at the crossroads, always sure of where to go but uncertain to which road I am going to take. I never regret the paths that I choose to lead for I know that somehow I was meant to be there, even though many times I had to endure the consequences of the mistakes I made. I know I had to be strong, even when things go wrong because I was meant to learn something for every happening in my life.

There were also times that I find myself at the darkest part of my life, the times that I thought I would never recover and yes, there were a lot of times that I almost gave up but while watching Dark Knight, I remembered these lines “the darkest hour is just before dawn and believe me, the dawn is drawing near” (or something like that) I would like to believe that I don’t need the dawn to see the light for I may be at the abyss of my life right now but the abyss is where you can find one of the ocean’s finest treasure and though, I have not found my treasure yet but the thought of what lies ahead is more than enough for me to go on.

I’ll be seeing Dark Knight tonight with my friends. I have heard a lot of good reviews about the movie and I’m eager to see Heath Ledger’s portrayal of Joker. I’m not a big fan of Batman but I have a feeling that I won’t be disappointed with this flick…

Be back later for some personal reviews! Happy TGIF!

I collect pens. Maybe because I love to write and I scribble often with just about anything. Way before I had a PDA, I used to write my thoughts on my little notebook that I often bring with me. Up to this date, I never leave my pen behind. I also love giving personalized pens as gifts, I just think they’re stunning and since it’s personalized you can show the person how much you value and treasure them.

My high school batch is set to have a reunion next year and we are already making plans for the upcoming event. It will be a terrific experience to see my batch mates whom I have not seen in such a long time. My high school best friend was so excited she already wants to shop for homecoming dresses. I used to hate shopping for clothes since I was too fat to fit on those clothes from the rack, plus size dresses were not really nice like it does now but as much as I’m excited for the reunion I’m more excited to shop for my new figure. I’m excited too upon the arrival my designer shoes that will come along my best friend when she arrives from Singapore next week. There are just too many happenings and I can hardly wait.

Just a trivia, I have always been terrified by the month of August simply because back in August 3, 2001 my lupus journey had begun and I’m not sure if it’s just coincidental but most of my nasty lupus flares has always been during the month of August, that is why I always fear when August draws near but since I’ve been sick last June-July I hope lupus can spare me this time and my lupus angel will help me pray for some healing, I badly need a break from being sick!

If you have a chronic illness like me or you suffer from specific illness and allergies it is vital to have a medical id bracelet so that in case of emergencies, the paramedics can respond to your medical needs and avoid making mistakes. I, for one have several allergies from antibiotics and I am also highly sensitive with drugs since I was diagnosed to have a drug-induced lupus during my early lupus years.

I’m in such a good mood today. I went online early this morning to catch up on my work, I am so behind my deadlines because of my prolong ailment of shingles and even though I lost some work because of my absence I still have some left and I’m determined to accomplish and do my work efficiently. There’s also a special reason why I have to wake up early and go online, my someone special and I have different time frame and that’s the only decent time we can chat. I am extremely happy, I honestly can’t remember feeling this good in such a long time. Although we had to cut our chat short because I already need to work, it doesn’t matter I still feel wonderful.

I don’t know how long my good mood is going to last. It’s great that I wasn’t stuck in traffic, I guess the high cost of fuel has some good side after all there are lesser car in the streets for the result in the good flow of traffic. But I heard that because of the continuing high cost of living more people are resulting to credit fraud and even committing petty crimes to survive. I hope this trend will not continue and people could somehow have the good mood I have right now.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I posted something about love in this blog, I always post my love thoughts in my other blog Just Let Go but this time I think I’m in the mood for a little love thoughts here…

I miss being in love. It’s been quite awhile and I think I had forgotten how it feels like to care about someone and to be loved as well. I think my heart grew cold and numb after years of isolation and heartaches, I thought I can live without love and I honestly thought I am happy being single, I guess, I’m wrong. I may have been cynical about love, I may project a strong persona but deep inside I am still the hopeless romantic quickmelt who wrote love emotions on tissue paper. The years may have passed and love has passed me by, but the belief that somehow I can still find true love never fades.

Yes, there was a point I gave up waiting, I gave up looking for love but it was when I wasn’t looking that I have found it… I’m not sure where its heading, I cannot even say this is finally it but I guess I’ll let the future worry for itself and I’ll just enjoy this moment..

It is true that we don’t really know what we’ve got until it’s gone, but what we don’t know is what we’ve been missing until it arrives…

I need a power-packed computer because my job requires a lot of applications in the computer I can’t afford to have slow computer that’s why it’s important for me to always have a memory upgrade so that I can do all my work without the worry of being stuck by a low memory computer. For someone as impatient as I am I do need to work fast and get the work done efficiently.
