Learning a Lesson

As I was watching Desperate Housewives, I learned a very valuable lesson from one of the characters. That the best is yet to come.

It is true, right? The best is always yet to come. Sometimes, people are just too busy with their work, they don’t realize it. We always think that our lives couldn’t get any worse, bla bla bla…

A while ago I heard an interview, and this is what the guest said :

"Oh, I learn from everything. I learn from my family how to be a good son, a good brother to my siblings. I learn from my wife how to be a good husband. I learn from my kids how to be a dad. I learn from my coach how to trust my instincts… I think you can’t go through life without learning. I learn from everything that has happened to me, and I think, instead of complaining about the awful stuff, you can really appreciate your moments of living by learning from it. And trust me, it’s much more worth it."

Desperate Housewives’ Bree van de Kamp and this guy. Those are the two most unlikely people that could teach me a lesson. But I apply that in my life, in every aspect. And they were right. Life is worth something, by trying to teach yourself a lesson, from everything that has happened to you. And have faith in that the best is yet to come.

Being a REAL Grown Up

Freaking out as I’m writing this…

When my friend wrote in her blog that she’s freaking out about turning 20, I was like, "What is the big deal? So you turn 20, so what?" But, now that I’m in her shoes, hypothetically, I found myself that I too, am freaking out just like she was.

I’m now at 11th grade, and in July I will be a 12th grader. And then what? Before you know it, I’m going to be a university student!!! I realized this as I was thinking on my bed. That’s when I trully realized that I am gowing up, fast. Before I know it, I’m gonna be 20, and then 25, and then… oh, God! I don’t even want to think about it…

I always find it interesting, growing up. I don’t like being surrounded by people who’s acting childish all the time. Sometimes, fine, because, hey, I still act childish too when it comes to a certain matter. But all the time? Come on! Now I’m at a huge phase dilemma on what major should I take in the university. I’ve been thinking about this for some time, and I’m still not finished thinking about it. It’s really driving me crazy… I convinced myself that I should take Dentistry… but to tell you the truth I’m not really sure about it. It’s not where my heart wants to go… but then again, what I want doesn’t seem to matter in my dad’s eyes, so…

Jeez, being a real grown up is taking a huge responsibility… I shall figure this out in the next week. Time is running out on me, and I don’t want to be clueless once I’m a 12th grader.
