Mediocre.
Something got me thinking. As I have posted a few days back, I really can’t see myself excelling in anything. And because I don’t see myself being an expert at anything, I feel like I’m some sort of a mediocre, an average ordinary girl just trying to survive a day at a time, hoping to get on with life. So.. what do you think? Just because I’m a self-professed jack-of-all-trades (ok, ok.. jack-of-some-trades, hehe), does that make me a mediocre as well? Haay. I’ll deal with this later. Hehe.

On the lighter side of things..

This morning, I woke up with the sound of the drizzling rain like music to my ears. And what better thought there could be than realizing I don’t have a class to go to, and I could curl under my blanket some more and spend a few more hours on my bed..

And now.. some leisure time on the net. Sigh. There are just too many simple joys this life has to offer. Don’t you think? c",)

Simply Joys of Life Part Two.
This is the life, pare. :)

Thinking you just had the worst Monday of your life, only to be amazed by life’s sweet surprises by the end of the day, making you forget about your ugly eyebags and pimples, and nightmare class-presentations. Sweetness!

Receiving a bouquet of scented pink paper roses with a purple rag buttefly to match... and splurging on a 500 peso worth of food at Chocolate Kiss with the bestest friend in the world. Isn’t she the sweetest??

Spending an “unplanned” gimik night with pinoysaints people on a supposedly hectic schoolweek.. and getting a short ride with a rockstar, and a doctor, later in the night. Feeling ko supermodel ako. Haha. ;)

Going home, seeing your brother sleeping face flat on the living room sofa (oviously tired from work), waking him up to announce your arrival, getting a quick hug and a “hi bunsuy, musta araw mo?” and blabbering about how your day went to an unconscious-half-asleep audience. And then, even though you know he slept halfway through your rants, you realize what a unique and weirdly sweet brother you have. c",)

Being in panic mode for a deadline coming up, yet having so much peace within.

Indulging on Ice Craze (of Jollibee, the makers of the killer spaghetti and banana caramel pocket pie) – a way cheaper but close imitation of Ice Monster, hehe; and a can of Pringles, on a dull Wednesday afternoon.

Non-stop hillsongs music. Mall-wide sales. Starbucks coffee frap. Strawberry candy sprinkles. Blue curtains. Pink pillows. White cap. Text messages and missed calls. Twinkle twinkle little stars. Makulit na friends. Friends who are a phone call away. Friends who are annoying (they improve your patience, hehe). Chat sessions with cousins on the other side of the planet. Pirated DVDs (oops, hehe). Midnight snacks (Ika nga ni Bijoi, pag tanda nya raw, she probably would say something like this to her kids, “anak, gising na.. magmimidnight snack na tayo..” hehe. Cool!). Nights when you have an excuse to dress up. Comfortable sneakers. Faded jeans. Blogger friends.

And.. yes, again, realizing you have so much joys in life that you can take Him for, a whole afternoon of blogging won’t be enough.

Haay. Sometimes, because of the hassles thrown at us, we fail to see these lovely gifts right in front of our discontented and blinded eyes. I say, it’s about time to rub the blindness away and be simply thankful.

I'm blabbering. I'm stopping na.

O siya. Aral na ulit. ;)
