It always makes me feel older or a sign of aging when I am out working, earning my own pocket money to settle my expenses and ensuring that my parents worry less as I become more independent. I am growing up, and technically, older.
God, I am a working adult!
Although childhood does not seem too far fetched from my memory, I don't really see myself as a kid anymore. Actually not at all. I am making my own decisions, occasionally seeking my parents' advice and maybe certain parental permissions.
I know I got to be independent and live my own life. I am also getting more used to taking care of family's affairs, taking care of Mom and Dad and my sister's welfare as best as I possibly can.
As far as I am concerned, my grandparents are my focus points as well, occasionally running errands and helping out not out of duty, but of love.
I love my family very much.
And so, besides enjoying the freedom I have for this long break, I should make myself more useful by having some work experience outside - you know, the world outside my comfort zone.

Thank you for being courageous!
The past few weeks of December were filled up, packed with activities and so many things happened that I cannot really pen every single one of them down. There was so much fun, so much laughter and that already pretty much worn us out. But, we were all generally happy people!
I think it is still my priority to stay happy even when adversity creeps in. I have been so very humbled to be able to share my testimonies with people around me and to those I love very much. And I just am so thankful to be called a strong fighter and without any doubt, everybody is a fighter and I thank you for fighting with me!
I have so much to share about the happenings and events in December but I think it is going to take too long to write everything down. Besides, some wonderful memories are better left for me alone to keep.
A very close friend of mine told me that while she was in China, everyday was not snowing except for one day and that is my birthday. And I really felt that this was very special.
I have really amazing friends who have been so dear and truly, the kind of relationships I always yearn to forge are that of friends being like my family. To those who know me regardless of how long we were friends, I really really care for you and I appreciate some of your occasional kind words of concern. They mean alot to me and more so, you mean alot to me!
Someone who loves you will tell you the truth but will not bring you down.
That's something I thought about recently...
Ok, so maybe things have not been very good, you aren't very happy with your current life, but making wise choices and having a great attitude to do something about it will somehow or rather, allow things to get better. Just got to keep believing and doing what is right...
You will not be given to handle tough times if you didn't have the capacity to carry them in the first place. Everything happens for a purpose that are meant to rise you up and stretch your tenacity. Always believed in this. I hope you do too.
