Where to?

San ba ako punta? Dyan lang sa tabi tabi, soul searching kuno kse nawawala yata kaluluwa ko. Hehehe.
I need some time off from my responsibilities here at home and hopefully I'd be able to take care of myself this time.
I feel that I've been misjudged by my family and they have trivialized my role and responsibilities. I'm thinking if I leave for a while, they would see what I've done for this family. Not that I'm seeking praise from them, just a simple form of acknowledgement lang, not even a thank you. Some people have conveniently dumped their responsibilities on me and now I'm taking crap for it. Sheesh!
I also need this time off to figure out what's really happening to me and hopefully I'd know what to do with my life. I think I have used my responsibilities at home as a convenient excuse not to pursue my goals, or maybe use it as a reason to fail at my personal plans. I'm slowly starting to see clearly now, I should give ME the time.
Lastly, this vacation will be some sort of risk taking exercise for me, I'm taking another leap of faith. This is kinda unnerving for me since I've done this before and I fell flat on my face. I had a hard time picking up the pieces of my life for a while. I hope that this time around, I'd have something waiting to catch me when I jump. It's scary because I might get stood up again but if I don't take the risk now then how would I know, right? I'm 37, I need to know what my options are. If I stay at home all day, nothing good will come out of it. Blessings won't fall from the roof and onto my lap. Tapos na mourning ko, I've washed my face and combed my hair, now I'm ready to face the world again.
Thanks Mari, Arrow-N and G. Hope the best for you guys too. Till next blog entry!

Pwede ba akong sumama jan?!

Kidding aside, I remembered what my Physics teacher used to tell us, ang kaibahan daw ng mga inventors sa ibang tao ay marunong silang mag-take ng risk. Every failure taught them on how not to do it.

Ciao` enjoy ur "vacation". Pasalubong ko ha....

Susme, serious ka rin pala minsan - Whatever you are planning to do - go and have fun. You don't want to ask yourself later the question "What if?"----

Here is a quote by George Bernard Shaw that I think fits your situation perfectly - "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."

Cheers and remember to have fun! Lot's of it!

All the best to you. I suggest you memorize the following and recite it thrice each day to keep your focus on yourself and your personal well-being during this quality-time endeavor:

"I can frighten people with my mind. I can tear their souls out with the diamonds in my eyes. I have found my rage and I am willing to use it. I can juggle three basketballs. I can write faster than I can think. I'm convinced I can defend Microsoft, single handedly, in an argument against dozens of the unhinged. I've invented my own passions, and have faced my fears. I confuse courage with desperation, and lattes with cappuccinos.

All the best!

I know exactly how you feel. Mukhang pareho tayo ng predicament. How I wish I can also have that ME time that I've long been wanting to have. Pero mukhang nauna na yun kaya eto ako sa situation ko ngayon.

Anyway, go for it sister. I'm pretty sure you'll put that time to good use.

Take care! *hugs*

Go! sometimes that's what we need. or what everyone needs. go away and do some thinking. step out of the picture for a while. Easier to think and breathe that way. Hope all will be well for you Fiona :) Keep praying :)
