i told eric that i would blog. and here it is! i think this will turn out to be a rambling blog. disorganized. just like my state of mind. and just like my place which, right now, has stuff and boxes scattered all over.
packing is a hassle sometimes. it shouldn't be if all i had to do was simply stuff everything into boxes and not care about how cost-efficient it will be. but since i want to put as much of the heavy stuff as i can into the balikbayan box so that i can save on shipping costs, then it becomes a hassle. but, i'd still prefer to go through the hassle if that means i can save on costs substantially. it's just another case of balancing priorities.
just like life, i guess. if you don't care about what will happen then you can sail smoothly through it, unmindful of consequences. who would care, anyway? but, if you want to organize your life so you can get the best out of it -- or of the afterlife -- then you make yourself struggle through planning things, setting priorities, self-control, discipline, persisting. because you know that, in the end, it will be all worth it.
but, how do you know? what makes you think that whatever you'll get in the end is really worth the struggle that you're making yourself go through now?
does anyone really know?

hi minky, good to hear from you:) God bless you.
You know when all have been worth the toil, the wait, the hoping for because you can feel it so. You just know because you are happy, peaceful, and content with what you have become, with all your prayerful choices, and your winning and sunny disposition in life. Things may not be affirmed in measurable straightforward ways. But I know that you can sense God's winking at you at how wonderful you have made out of your life. Happy Birthday, Friend!
hey! just dropping by... i like the way you blog.
your way of writing seems so light. take care!
i think it doesn't matter if you know if it's worth it or not... just the thought that i could be worth it, makes it okay.
