My wanderlust is becoming overwhelming.

Now I'm really motivated to learn how to drive.

"I guess our message is that just as bad things can happen to good people, so can something beautiful come from a wicked act."

‎"Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien

"You choose the relationships you keep."

God has blessed me with a lot of friends who are all amazing people. I was looking back at some things and found a bunch of affirmation messages I kept from friends. Some of them are from people who I don't really talk to as much anymore because of various reasons, none of them bad reasons of course, but because of the usual changes and seasons of life.

It made me realize how loved I am, even if it was just for a moment or a chapter. I know for sure that at one point, me and that other person shared a bit of something that made us both grow positively.

Now, a lot of them and myself all walk different paths and some of us have gone off to different cities, schools, or social circles.

I'm not really one though to be tied down by all that.

Now that things have been going through a bit of shifting and trimming in my life, I've realized that yes.

Yes, I would like to keep all these friendships I've been blessed with.

Even for just a moment or a chapter. =]

"No one is ever too busy. There is such a thing as full-packed schedules, but if someone truly wants to see you, may it be a friend or a lover, they will set time aside. There is always a way."

Shout out to one of my closest friends, Carlo Aguilar.

Frick man... that apprectiation.

It's friends like you that remind me of God's friendship.

Always praying for you bro, I never stopped.

And that goes for all my other close friends, you know who you are!

I ate a really late dinner and I guess I see why they say its bad to eat before you sleep.

I couldn't fall asleep till around 4am and I had to wake up in 3 hours by then.

So I ended up skipping school for the first time this semester lol, luckily the classes today aren't mandatory. I would have been passing out everywhere anyway :p

Good afternoon :)

Words I feel sometimes a couple of my friends need a reminder of.

"Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person." -Gloria Steinem

Don't lose yourself guys. How else are they gonna love and appreciate you fully?

"Assumptions distract from the truth." -Eve no Jikan

When in doubt, love.

Just as we are all called to die, we are all called to live.

It's 2:31 in the morning and I'm having another attack of being wide awake at the most inopportune time. I have to go to mass early tomorrow at 11 (I usually wake up at noon on weekends, as well as attend the evening masses) at OLGC which means I need to wake up by at least 9.

...well I guess this is my fault anyway for making my body adjust to 4am as my usual crash time.

Man, life. That late night honesty though.

A bit too honest.

"The sky is beautiful, but the people are sad."

Natural desires of the heart, I guess.

"The poverty of being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for is the greatest poverty." -Mother Theresa

"Everyone is sad in their own way, but that doesn't mean no one is happy. We're also all happy in our own way."

Very true, bro, very true.

"I opened up and you judged me."

Powerful line. (from Silver Linings, good movie btw! I'd strongly recommend it)

Got accepted into the co-op program! Lord, I pray for Your will.

One key to happiness is to be who you are.

Humans are divided all over the place, so it's natural that you won't be best friends with certain people.

It's not bad. And it shouldn't affect your self-esteem in any way. You're just different people. And no one person or kind of person is better than the other.

Mysteries of life.

You got it spot on, dad.

"The relationship was nice, but for whatever reason, it had to end -- and naturally that resulted in hurt. But it was during those times of hurt that I learned how to love more than I ever did when times were great. It was after the relationship ended that I came to know what 'real love' was, more than I learned when I was in it.

...

Forgiveness was the ultimate expression of love. It was choosing to love someone without asking for anything in return. It was choosing to love someone even if they never 'deserved' it. It was choosing to love someone without expecting an apology. It was choosing to love someone no matter how much they hurt you. It was choosing to look beyond all that.

...

And by forgiveness, I don't mean putting up with disrespect or abuse or prolonged hurt. I mean releasing the bitterness from your heart so you can set yourself free. It's acknowledging that things did hurt you, but moving on anyway."

It's amazing rekindling old friendships.

Praise God

Haha, this basically describes what my past couple of years have been like:

Abby was right, you would understand, Celine.

#pG for friends

Friends and family are another way of God saying "I love you."

Seeing old photos from high school and summer years of PT and YFC.

Damn that nostalgia hurts in the most bittersweet way.

Lol.
