The ridiculously high price of growing up

I would give absolutely anything, anything I tell you in exchange for me to return to the good ol’ college days, or maybe even to the good ol’ high school days.

Yes, I have never been this self-adjusted in my entire life but at the same time, I’ve also never been this frustrated.

It comes with the territory you know? This whole growing up thing, now I know the reason why Peter Pan always resented leaving Neverland. Ooh, the thought of not growing up seems very enticing to me right now.

I now want to take back the number of days that I wished that I was grown up in exchange for today and all the torture that it has caused me.

My dad says I should stop being a brat, but really, am I even one? Is it brat-like to demand for respect? I guess I have to stop complaining because it’s not a grown-up thing to do.

But, honestly, it’s taking every fiber of my being to not scream. I wish I was one of those heiresses who don’t have to work for a living. I wish I was twenty years old and vacationing in the Hamptons. Not twenty years old and thinking of what’s next, how much income my company has to generate and so on. I’m too young. Sometimes I regret graduating so early.

In a way, I’m still living a fairy-tale, this being evident by the wicked witches surrounding me. I’ve never been this deflated.

I’m fearful of what’s next.

Sometimes, I think I take myself so seriously when I shouldn’t. I should have my own dose of partying stories to tell, you know? Why am I so uptight? I’m being stretched. Stretched way too much.

I seriously need a life.

My kind of detox

To say that I had a very “cleansing” weekend would be an understatement. In as much as I wanted to go out of town and party the weekend away, I didn’t. Instead, I did what I should have done weekends ago and that’s rearrange my room and clean from top to bottom.

It was very theraputic, people should be cleaning things out more often, it saves you a lot of emotional distress. I kid you not.

***

I guess going back to old friends isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I thought that in order to move on to something new, you had to leave everything behind. Truth is, sometimes you’d have to go back a few steps and reevaluate where you’ve been so that it gives you the courage to move forward.

In a sense, it makes you go, “I did that? I got through that?”

That’s the place where i’m in right now, just stuck in between two platforms (–blame this term on harry potter) between where I’ve been and where I plan to go.I’m just allowing myself to be led by Him. He knows what He’s doing anyway.

I’ve been revisiting my dreams as well, the ones I thought I chucked a long time ago. I can’t get into the details yet but I’ve had this dream in me for the past five years and God is finally giving it to me.

It’s wonderful. I’m at a good place and I honestly hope that you are too:)

XOXO:)

Rediscovered

I was haunted by people from my past last week. Everywhere I turned, there was someone who was linked to my past and I don’t think it’s such a bad thing.

It feels good to catch up with people whom you were in conflict with and just clear things or just recreate a new sort of friendship, one that is supposed to be better than the last.

So it’s good. Time heals everything or so they say. I’m very very optimistic 🙂

***

We just got good internet connection at home, highlight the world GOOD. We’ve had internet connection for the longest time but never this fast, so I’m expecting to be spending 24/7 infront of this thing, as if I haven’t killed my social life enough. ha ha ha.

***

Searching for a copy of TWLIGHT in the midst of pencil-pushing right now, so I’m broke until then end of August. It’s a self-proclaimed season of pencil-pushing so please be kind enough to lend me one

Enjoy the long weekend, I know I will. XOXO

Because I never give myself enough CREDIT

You’re probably thinking: What is this chick doing with her life and why is she bombarding multiply with several blog entries in a span of an hour?

Well:

A) Because I’m bored

B) Because I’m so diligent that I’ve finished everything that I have to do and now there’s absoutely nothing left for me to do.

But the main reason is because I was going through my blog entries from 2006 and I realized that my recent blog entries lack the depth that they once had and that really made me sad. I lost my depth, would you believe? So I’m trying to regain my reputation by trying to type up something witty and life-altering (I have no idea if I’m actually reaching that goal)

In a way, I’m really grateful that I’m not as emotional as I used to be but at the same time, it made me realize just how much I’ve been through. How much I’ve survived in the past two years and how little credit I give myself.

Maybe it’s because I know that everything’s from God and it was HIS strength that made me overcome certain things in my life.

In a podcast, Joel Osteen mentioned something about thriving and not just surviving.

I guess that’s how I’ve been living my life lately. I guess, I’m not as emotionally attached to people and situations as I used to be. I’ve learned to let go easily because i know that if it’s not for me, what’s the point of running after it?

I guess this blog entry is one way of recognizing the good the Lord has done in my life and it fires this hope, hope that things will be better, way better than I ever imagined them to be 🙂

To My Chi-Chi, Daisy Bo Baisy

This entry is for my good friend, Daisy Castelar 🙂

I forgot to greet you on your birthday but I thought of you, how’s London?

Ng naka move on na si Carla-kay and other fables

You must be wondering why I’ve been relentlessly bombarding my multiply account with tagolog entries, I don’t know maybe it’s because I’m so tired of writing reports in English or maybe because I find it a challenge to write in Tagalog simply because my officemates say that I cannot write one to save my life and parang mas may impact pag Tagalog eh, so sue me.

So kamusta na si Carla-kay? ay thank God, hindi na siya ganun ka drama.

I’ve been having a good week. The Lord has been good. Over the weekend, I had a conversation with someone with who I had an argument with two years ago and this is something that I would never admit to him but our conversation haunted me.

Ewan ko anong tawag doon, but I think I was caught in a time warp. Mahirap din pala pag walang closure, kasi after two years, kahit naka-move on ka na, may issues parin kasi nga walang closure. That made sense, I know that did.

I was haunted mainly because old issues resurfaced and I got into thinking that I never truly moved on from my old self and my old weaknesses. I got scared and it forced me to reevaluate myself and my actions.

Then I realized that God is still in the process of changing me. I’m grateful that I’m not the same as I was two years ago but I’m not perfect yet. I’m happy with who I am now because I know that even though I have weaknesses, its okay because God’s power works best in our weakness. That’s not an excuse but that means that I don’t have to beat myself up every single time. *So much for writing this entry in tagalog.

Masaya na ako ngayon… Naka move on na si Carla-kay. Slowly but surely, I’m learning to rely on myself alone to make myself happy. It’s not being selfish pero I’ve given myself the freedom to feel good about myself even without someone special or significant. Ngayon ko lang narealize na kung hindi niya ako napapasaya, then why include him in my life, diba? An old song says, “love doesn’t have to hurt”

My baby brother got his heart broken yesterday and being the protective older sister that I am, I wanted to take the hurt away from him just because I know how much it sucks (I also wanted to torture the people who broke his heart but of course, I couldn’t). But then again, I know that he needs this hurt in order to mature (God knows I was a hurt more than a few times before learning anything of significance) but I wish that it wouldn’t hurt that much, it pains me to know the amount of hurt he’s enduring.

Good thing that he has a sister who has so much experience in this area. Yun siguro yung dahilan kung bakit ang dami nag break ng heart ko. Haha. To serve this purpose.

Masaya maging masaya. I’m telling you that. So if you have the chance to be happy: GRAB IT. 🙂

Masaya na walang baggage. 🙂

xoxo

Dahil Masaydo na akong Madrama

*The Entry to prove na magaling din ako magtagalog and hindi ako bulol.

http://www.whateverlife.com” target=”_blank” alt=”From Whateverlife.com!”>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/ashbernie311/Bre/bre2/qb9.gif” border=”1″ />

Honestly, sobrang na-oa na ako sa sarili ko.

Wala akong ginawa kung hindi tignan ang phone ko every morning and maging sad dahil wala lang.

Sayang naman ang pag download ko ng mga Joel Osteen Podcast araw araw dahil wala lang, di ko lang feel maging happy. Kung meron akong na-realize sa six months ko sa Southville yun ay ang walang makakapagpasaya sayo kung hindi rin ang sarili mo.

Pag umasa ka sa iba, talo ka, dahil ang ibang tao hindi nga nila kaya pasayahian ang sarili nila yung ibang tao pa kaya mapasaya nila.

Lahat ng tao may issues, sabi nga ni John Maxwell, “Remember, everyone you come in contact with is fighting a battle” kaya dapat itigil ko na ang pag-iilusyon ko na ibang tao ang makakapag pasaya sa akin.

Dapat din ata ipaala ko sa sarili ko na ang mga boys na walang direkyson ay yun na: walang direksyon. Ung mga tipong ayaw mag aral dahil wala lang, feeling cute sila.

Hindi na uso ang love lang ngayon.

Another thing I learned: Ang mga lalake egoistic parin. Mag text ka lang feeling na nila hinahabol mo na sila, eh nag reply ka lang naman sa tanong niya. So what’s the point, darling?

At eto pa, aside from Nolan, a guy and girl hindi ba puwedeng maging friends lang? Pag ni-reject ba ang guy eh hindi na puwede maging friends? Dude, you’re like so feeling naman. 😀

I lost my sense of self for awhile (sorry, di ko masabi sa tagalog)

Pero ay nakakapagod to be someone you’re not. Nag feeling Serena Van Woodsen kasi ako for awhile, feeling ko kaya ko to do what she does, pero sorry Blair Waldorf ata ako minus the Chuck part.

I’m a boring girl. I don’t go to clubs every weekend, I go to coffee shops and movie houses. The only time you can drag me out of the house to go to those things is kung birthday ng very special at very dear ko na friend, pero kung hindi, ay magbabasa na lang ako ng Harry Potter for life.

Siguro, part ng quarter life crisis ko ay ang pag accept na hindi ako ganun at ang prince charming ko dapat straight up din. Siguro nga masaydo akong control freak, gusto ko lahat ng bagay naka pattern sa idealisms ko.

Mali man or tama, that’s who I am at this point in time, puwedeng magbago bukas or tonight, but that’s who I am now.

Parang si Kate Bosworth nung na realize niya na over na talaga sila ni Orlando Bloom that’s the time she moved on. Aba, feeling Kate Bosworth na ko. I’ve been to the moon and back, I want to start over.

I guess ang hindi ko talaga ma-accept is the fact that I stepped out of my perfectly planned life and did something totally out of character (again, di ko masabi sa tagalog na ganun din ang impact). Siguro nga obsessive-compulsive talaga ako dahil gusto ko ibalik ang dati and iaayos ang lahat, kaya lang hindi nga ganun yun. Di ko ma explain sa sarili ko na: you live and learn. What happened was a little sacrifice compared to what I got out of it.

Ang point naman talaga ng entry na eto ay eto: PAGOD NA AKONG MAGDRAMA, NAKAKASAWA. OA NA. SOBRA NA. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

So i’m grateful, grateful to my friends, my family and my job (yes, i love my rigorous job. i love it more than anything in the world. my job is my boyfriend). I love my officemates na mas lokarete pa sakin.

I’m back to being Carla, the geek, the boring girl but at least I’m happy and content. Matagal na panahon narin ako na hindi na-content so I’m good now. Nakakapagod maging Drama Queen. Please Lang.
