Coming home to our house in Rizal
always gives me a pinch of pain.
I felt the exact same feeling when
I was here last year.
Probably
because it brings back memories of my father, and it reminds
me that a couple of days after January 1st will be his death anniversary.
But what's
good in this house is that I would stumble upon bits and pieces of memories
when I was younger--be it photos, drawings, stuff toys, textbooks, and the like.
This time,
when I was rummaging through an old, dusty bookshelf, I saw a photocopy of my
College Graduation Clearance. My goodness! That was 8 years ago!
My
youngest brother saw a much older stuff—my Writing notebook when I was in 4th Grade.
He took a
photo:
and posted in online with a caption:
"Ha! You wanted to be
a dentist. Why are you in IT again?"
I thought
it was funny, because I don’t remember writing about it when I was that
young.
So I just
commented with:
"Look at my handwriting!
It looks silly."
It really
looks different on how I write now.

Anyway,
when we were younger, we wanted to be a lot of things and it may or may not be
what we planned or intended to be.
Because
people change.
Just
recently, my friends and I went on a trip to beach and I could say that it was one of the most fun trips I've
had in my life.
One friend even made sure that aside
from being fun, the trip also has to be meaningful.
In the
evening of that trip, before we drink the night away, we gathered around a
bonfire by the beach and talked about our experiences, the things that we're
thankful for in 2014, and the plans we have for 2015.
I remember
saying that for this year, 2015, I'd try learning a new skill. Although, I'm
not sure what specific skill it's going to be. Hahaha!
After
everything that's been said that night, I guess I could conclude that what we
are now is a culmination of all the aspirations, the decisions we took, the
mistakes we've done, the people we've met, the friends we've made, the books
we've read, and the lessons we've learned in life; which all contributes to the
memories that we make.
So, cheers
to a new year!

Its like you resd my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book
in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics
to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog.

Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make
