Suprise Suprise

I find life funny sometimes. It's weird how you can get the things you want most in the world and there are times that everything just seems wrong and you don't know how to make it right. It's funny in a way how life can really be full of surprises, as the cliché may go. You never know really what to expect from it.
I'm not a big fan of surprises. I mean, anyone who knows me knows that I operate on a schedule. Like there are specific things I need to do at specific times and if something goes awry, well, watch out. Hahaha. Okay I won't like shout or get mad, but I'm very passive aggressive and you'll know when I'm not happy. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or a good thing, but at least I'm pretty transparent I think. Anyways. There. So I don't normally like surprises cause at times it's just a big let down. Like okay, that is NOT a good surprise kind of thing. I hate it when that happens so I tend to like, avoid surprises. Not that you can avoid it, but see, that's why I have that schedule. So that I can try to veer away from any unexpected occurrences. But there are times that life just really takes you by surprise and it might not be a really good one, but it's still something that makes a difference in your life and impacts it in a way nothing else can. It's amazing when that happens because you really don't see it coming. Like you get blindsided by it and well, that truly is something else right? I guess I'm babbling really but all I really want to say is that I had a good day today. I mean I really enjoyed myself. I set out a list of tasks I wanted to accomplish by today and I actually did it. I found that mall I was looking for, the store that I really wanted to go to, bought the stuff I needed (except shoes. I need shoes!), and met up with the people I needed to see. So all in all, it was a very successful day. And it was fun. Really. Okay, so maybe I spent more than I should and now I have to save a lot but then again it's alright. As my mom likes to tell me now, just enjoy yourself. Imagine if I really was just scrimping away here, not doing anything because it costs too much money. I'd probably be miserable. As the older, wiser, and more localized Filipinos tell me here, it's just right to treat yourself once in a while because after all that hard work, you really need to be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. And that is something I've been doing. Just really making the most of this opportunity because well, I guess I wo'tt have another chance like this right? So it's been fun. I'm still enjoying myself – even with all the stress that I have to go through. I just hope that it stays that way.
