In the Midst of Chaos

Most of the time, we barely notice the things that are always readily available to us. We take them for granted just because we know that they are still going to be there the next day. Truth of the matter is, everything in this world is made to be rotten. Everything is bound to an end, and none of them can actually last forever.

I can't believe that despite my knowledge of this fact, I still take some of things for granted.


A few minutes ago, I broke my slim black hairband. I knew, even before that happened, that I love it because I already lost it before, yet I still took little care of it. I put it in my head as if it is some unbreakable plastic that would last till I get old. Unfortunately, my very inconsiderate ways ended it poor life.

I know I shouldn't really fuss about it becuase it's only a 40 peso headband, but I guess its sentimental value is the one that caused the hurt and the flicker of pain in my heart. I couldn't get it out of my head so I really had to blog about it. This would lead me to another discussion later on. As of now, I am going to continue my story about my dear one. I searched for that slim black headband for a long time. I first got a white one and I was desperate to get hold of a black, so went to almost every Girlshoppe store I knew just so I could I find one. Luckily, I was able to get the last piece in Rockwell. With that alone, I should really have took good care of it becase it would cause me another round of trouble to get another one. But, I didn't. I am seriously disappointed with myself right now. I could barely take responsiblity on those small things then what more on the bigger ones?

Anyway, the whole point is, we should never really take things for granted no matter how small or unnoticeable they are because at some point in our lives, we would greatly mourne over its lose.


Next discussion. How come people are starting to get too attached to material things? A headband? Common man. We got a lot more things to be hurt about, yet these very little pieces in our lives already causes us pain. Can it be caused by the possiblity that we are becoming more materialistic? Or are we simply degrading the level of humans in this world?

Ted: "I think for the most part, if you're really honest with yourself about what you want out of life, life gives it to you."

How I Met Your Mother

Robyn: "You stole a blue French horn for me"
Ted: "I would have stolen you a whole orchestra"

Now this is sweet. Mature sweet. Duh. They are both close to 30 in the story. It must be mature enough. LOL.

P.S. I couldn't help not to post it. It's the sweetest thing I have ever heard for the whole week.

"a sad truth: people will LOVE and ADORE you for the HUNDRED of GOOD things you've done for them but will HATE you for a SINGLE MISTAKE."


TRUE ENOUGH.

I had just lost another friend. He already got two of my friends :(

I hope they're both happy with Him.

Please pray for the soul of Audrey Go that she may rest in peace.


I'm sorry I wasn't able to know you better.

You are still my classmate, my batchmate, and my friend. Now and Forever.

P.S. She died of cancer. Such a fucked up disease spreading in this world. I hope it ends soon before it gets more of our friends and family. :(
