Lo and behold… another one of these so-called epiphanies just slapped me in the face again!

So, when all is said and done(refer to last entry), I’m going to be settled with a nice fam of my own. I always say that I don’t want kids of my own, but… family’s important to me. I think that little trip to Massachusetts made me realize that. I think I knew it, even before a conversation I had with my brother. I could see it for myself… I love being around these little kids as well as the parents. For the little uns, it’s fun seeing all the things they do that I know they’re going to reminisce about in the future. I feel like I’m looking back in time to what I lived through: the same cheesy vacations spots, enjoying it with the family and friends, just making the best of whatever we had. Memories in the making, it’s a beautiful thing to watch.
And the parents, geez the parents. If not for them, I wouldn’t have such a good collection of memories(specially the ones with Christian, Rach & Ren, Carlo/Beej); if not for them, Kristine, Gus, JC, JP, and Michael wouldn’t have the days of snowboarding/camping/video-gaming/getting scared by ghost stories/etc to look back on. The parents complain that we never went through rough days like they did in the Philippines, but still they do what they can to make sure we have a healthy, happy childhood. Do you see what I mean? We may get into fights with them, conflicts of interest and whatnot, but first and foremost they put us, their children, above everything. They don’t have to, but they do… sacrificing their time & money. I am ever so greatful....
....and I think, the best way to show my gratitude… is to later on pass on what I’ve learned, follow their example and raise a fam of my own....... cheesy? Probably, but whatever.


& yeah, I’m aware, life’s not always so goody-goody, but it’s getting through the bad and having the good times to remember that makes it all worthwhile, ya know?

AHHHH. Departure time is… SOON and I’m not packed!! Well actually my porfolio is all packed and ready to go…

I think I had an epiphany yesterday. You know… about seeing what’s out there. hah hah hah. Keep my self from any obligations… ones that could tie me down… and just focus on what I want to do. A bold thing to say I guess, but I’m not the type to really care about having someone. I wanna make my monies and then do what I wanna do and........ yeah. YEAH!

Anyway, I’m off to Massachussets for a few days. Gonna be snowboarding(first timer!!), doing some artwork. Hopefully the atmosphere will be nice there.... I’m going again with a bunch of crazy Filipinos that I love so much, so it’ll fun times again with some kiddies. Yeah yeah so here I go..


Enjoy break everyone! Stay safe and such.... I’ll be seeing you all soon.. uhm.... oh yeah if you need anything, I have my cell again.. :D
