#celebratingnotcelebrating the Year of the Sheep 2015

When he dumped me, I told myself to skip Chinese New Year (I'm not Chinese anyway!) this year. But out of the blue, MUHS let me experience Chinese New Year again as she always had by ordering loads of balloons for her motorcade which was also my first from her.  So I got my Chinese New Year started!

Then I remembered when I was on mainland China's newspaper with Ms. Stefanie C. Chan, my brightest student ever!

And also had the opportunity to catch up with Teacher Aida and previous MUHS students especially my Math wizard, Star C. Lim by twilight because they made pahabol for their balloon order.

  

To add up to the call of fate, my aunt suddenly brought siomai to our house and said, "I thought you'd be celebrating tonight."  This is supposed to be my first Chinese New Year without anything on the table but then there came the siomai na laging karamay kahit kailan so we had food on the table!

On Chinese New Year's day, I spent the whole morning reading and got another favorite page on moving on from To All The Boys I've Loved Before.  One day, I'm gonna say this (soon)!

When I got bored, I went out by late afternoon.  As a moving-on-to-the-highest-level move, I entered stores which was a no-no since once you enter stores when broken-hearted, you'll definitely end up broke!  And there I was, purchasing clothes without any occasion to wear 'em all!

To cap the day, I was glad I still had company.  Thanks to this girl who by any chance does her truest part as a friend to the whimsical me!

Craving for fries satisfied and that ends my supposedly-not-to-be-celebrated Chinese New Year ('coz I'm not Chinese anyway!)!  I don't even know why I'm still having this blog post.  Erp!

The Day I Got "Dear Alex...."

When I went to CDO, I looked for this.  When I went to Cebu, I again looked for this.  This was on top of my list but National Bookstore ran out of copies.  When NB opened here in Ozamiz last week, I still looked for this.  To my great luck, this was again unavailable.  Oh, why were you so mailap, Dear Alex.....?  You were also like my love life!  Hard to chase, hard to get, hard to find!  Chasing after you was quite an effort!

Surprisingly, my very dear friend Christ went to the store this afternoon and handed you to me!  Oh, what a joy!  Finally, I got a hold of you!  I was so delighted with Christ's generosity, love, and support.  Truly, people come like angels to save us from our grief!

  

Now it has been 1 month, 3 days, 5 hours, 51 minutes, and god knows how many seconds!  Still, I cannot say that I already had my one last cry.  But at least I'm trying not to cry anymore.  I still can't say that all the tears had dried out.  But at least I'm trying to be OK.  The madness and bitterness are slowly fading unlike my posts last month that were all curses and bad vibes.  

Maybe, getting this book now and not last month has a reason.  Maybe I'll have a more open heart to let go because I had calmed down and somehow had started to accept reality and had also started to leave the fantasy behind.  I think it's about time to "move forward".

Thank you so much, Kringy and Opaw! :)  Hehe.....  I'm such a joiner to the two of you!

Getting Over It and Moving On

The third day after my last post for #yrech32 and my cursor still stays blink blink blink.....  What do I write after a very bonggacious vacation?  I don't want my blog to be tainted just yet!  But I have to write.  I need to write.  I need to post.  So what would be my story for today?  What is worth telling for?  I even asked my students for suggestions and one student directly answered, "How to move on?"  And my initial reaction was just laugh.  I laughed at the idea and even joked him of his plight in his love life.  But here I am about to write of it now.  Haha!  Maybe that's what everyone needs these days-a how-to in moving on.

However, moving on is not just for those who just broke their hearts.  It is about to move on to the next level, the next chapter, and for my case as a teacher, the next topic.  And same as for this blog, it's time to move on to the next post.  I may still have a hangover from the latest trip me and my friends had, and it's about time to get over it.  Like hello, I'm now back to reality-back to classes, back to Fascino, back to lonely walks home.  I guess that is life.  At least once in a while, we get to escape from the everyday madness we ought to face.

So for today, I'm moving on.  Not just literally here in my blog but also symbolically as a person.  29 days from now and it's gonna be new year and I don't have to wait for that for a new year's resolution.  Resolutions never make into reality for my case anyway!  So I'm making it a new life for me today.  I'm moving on to a life that I never had before.  Starting today, I'll choose happiness above anything else.  If you choose to be happy, then you'll be happy.  Am I making sense here?  And you might say, who ever wants to be unhappy?  Of course, everyone wants to be happy!  But it's not everyone who pursues to be happy.

Surely, problems and trials always come our way.   We cannot run away from 'em and we can never elude 'em.  It's just a matter of how we deal with 'em.  If  I get easily down, if I get easily discouraged, if I get easily mad, and if I get easily disheartened, I'll do my best not to be anymore.  Because it is in the state of mind and the matter of the heart that you can still be happy even though you are heavily-laden with such trials.

And so with that, that's my moving on post for today.  Let's stop dwelling in the past and stop being anxious for the future but let us start living for today because it is "the now" that should be lived up.  Remember that we only live once and we must make the most out of it.  :)
