SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND, KNOCK AND IT SHALL BE OPENED ON TO YOU.”

The Sinulog celebration ended last Friday. I was quite sad at first because all the festivities have ended— Christmas, NY,Sinulog. Then I suddenly realized how lucky I am to become a devotee to the baby Jesus of Cebu. If I remember correctly, it was during 2nd year college when Mr. Alforque said out of the blue that you need to look for a saint that you can always ask for help during the board exam— I picked Sto. Nino de Cebu. Since then I became a devotee. I go to the basilica every Friday and try my best to complete the novena masses. Since then I became brave. I was always ready to take on any challenges. I’ve learned that if you pray hard enough, God will grant it. True enough, most of my prayers were granted. Some of the significant granted prayers that I remember are as follows:

1. Won best debating team against the Polsci students.

2. Successful surgery of my mom’s eyes.

3. Passing the board exam.

4. Successful delivery of my first niece.

5. Many others.

Eventhough some of my prayers were not granted, I still thank Him that at least I got to experience a fraction of the feeling.

1. To fall in love. CHAR.

2. Candidate for Cum Laude.

3. Top 11 in theNurses’ Licensure Examination.

Anyways, I asked Him to always protect my family and keep them in healthy shape. I also wished that He’d give me career advancement and growth. I hope He reads my heart and give me what I’m longing for.

2010 is the year! I hope and pray.

  • Have to find a way to fix laptop’s electric adapter thingy. I hate this. I can’t charge my battery, damn! I have to call Lenovo today and see if they’ll be able to replace this crappy adapter. I am hoping my sister would accompany me and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that nothing “serious” is going on with my laptop. LOL
  • Currently listening to Keane’s with or without you. Love listening to the song especially with this kind of weather.
  • Thinking of not coming back to work tonight. My contract ended last Friday and apparently I haven’t sign another contract to extend my services so I’m contemplating of not going back to work ever due to Pride- ish reasons. ;-P
  • Where art thou my “being responsible this year” gone to? I keep on spending money for unnecessary stuffs. I suck!
  • Hagi, my Indonesian friend turned nephew. Is he serious about the uncle thing? HAHA. He was greatly irritated with my friends but I believe he’s fine now. Thank God I have stupid friends who are stupid enough to dig in at our conversation. It makes the whole thing even funnier. LOL
  • Thinking of using my hand. But what to watch— that’s the big question. HAHA.

It’s exactly 3:11 AM in my watch. It’s the first day of 2010. And I’m here sitting in my room trying to think of the many things I’m thankful for 2009. The annual Tenebro Family New Year’s Party had officially ended and it was already time to hit the sack. I’d like to thank God for the many blessings He had endowed to me & my family. Here is the list of things I’m thankful for last 2009:

1. Sparing my mother’s vision. This is probably the best thing that happened this year.

2. New family member, Yoana Akeela Apor Tenebro. She had a very complicated, not to mention a dangerous delivery but she still managed to survive. She is in fact, the best Christmas gift ever!

3. Finished the BSN course and managed to become a registered nurse 5 months later.

4. Have a job slightly related to my profession. It’s not high-paying nor I am very happy with it, but I’m thankful that I get to experience earning money for myself and be able to help (at some point) with the bills.

5. Complete family and all in good health conditions.

6. Friends who are always there.

7. All the material things bought or given by others. Yes, I am materialistic like that!

8. Being a Christian.

These are just some of the many things that I was thankful for. At this moment, I can truly say that 2009 was a good year.

“He basically told me that he suppressed his love for something because he had become an adult. He was, for a lack of a better word, embarrassed to like something as childish as that thing. And that made me sad.”

I just read one of my friend’s blog a few hours ago and I got angry. He was talking about being a kid, blah blah and all those crap about being both an adult and kid. That he misses watching TV and that he hates having to have responsibility and all. What made me angry was that he was comparing me with my other princess-y friend. And that he was saying that I was the total opposite of being a kid. He was sad for me and blah blah. At least that’s how I interpreted his latest blog entry.

And here’s what I think. The entry about being a kid and not forgetting to be one is so cliche. For me, it’s just plain crap for people our age to still want to go to the toy store and watch captain planet or johnny quest. No offense. I seriously don’t believe some of my friends who claim that they’re happy because they found the kid inside them.

Lami kaayu ingnon og  “MAO BA?” Naunsa man diay na cla pagkabata uy? Wala na cla napul-an or naka get-over og princess2 stories or mutan-aw og mga duwaan? Giunsa man na cla pagpadako? Nganu mga OA man kaayu ni cla about ana nga mga stuff? LOL.

I don’t want to be that bitch from next door but what the hell are these people doing? It’s okay to be a kid once in a while but I think some of them are overdoing it. Mga sobra rajud ka OA! hahahaha.

You’re 21 years old. Start being responsible. Take responsibility. Stop being such an idiot looking for the things that make you happy because even though happy-ever-afters truly exist, you just can’t sit there acting like a child and wait for it. I will advise you not to lose the child in you but I’m also gonna tell you to take life seriously. Hello? you’re in the real world mister and it’s not like your just going to worry about not being able to watch your favorite cartoon shows or not being able to buy the latest comics of the incredible hulk all your life. This is real life. And real life is never like the fairytales you read. Real life is working to live. It’s about taking care of the people around you. It’s preparing for whatever may happened.

I can’t say that I am and adult or that I’m mature enough to be one. I still love spiderman, pokemon and mufasa. I still enjoy watching kid’s TV shows every now and then but the statement above is pure fallacy! I DID NOT suppress the things I love back then  just because I became an adult! I chose to become more of an adult than being a kid— unlike you, I have responsibilities.

So to hell with those insignificant people who gets excited over a cartoon that they used to love and those that check out the toys that make them feel nostalgic. And those 20-ish people who still keep on believing in fairy tales and happy ever after. They’re probably just envious that I am ready to take responsibility. I also pity them for being stuck in that old land of magic since they were 3 years old and not able to see the world outside— a world with no flying elephants, fire-breathing dragons or magic dust; a world that is real.

P.S

You don’t become rich by pretending to fly like Peterpan. You become rich by working your ass off.
