Lately, I’ve been busy from my spare times to get rid from thinking to some of the things that keeps on bothering me from the regrets of my pasts which isn’t healthy anymore to think of it over and over again. I thought of how to deal with it, thought of some way things out. I felt it’s not going to be over if I get myself stagnant in one place, thinking of “what if” and blaming myself from frustrations and disappointments. Well, “keeping myself busy” will help me a lot I guess, and I find it’s kind of therapeutic! And always think on a bright side rather than the lost vanished darkness of the past. Since second semester is over though we still have our summer class at present but summer is not that as busy days as our regular class last school year.
Busy from my spare times like:
1) My sister Lala was able to downloaded our most favorite series (Grey’s Anatomy) from Limewire website!!! It’s amazing you know, it’s an opportunity for us who don’t have cable tv network to watch such compelling popular tv series and we just watched it for about 20 hours more for only one season! Though it takes about 2 hours for one episode to download and burn it but it’s worth the wait! We finished watching the 3 seasons and we’re waiting for the 4th season whom people in US are passionately waiting of what’s it going to be the next big thing to happen, and so are we too! Thanks for the technology nowadays.
2) Thanks for the technology. Why? Because, I just thought of what we are embracing now here at home which far from inet cafe and pay for it. Being resourceful. Lala is the most resourceful for us here. She taught us how to connect through wireless inet, used a bluetooth wireless inet connection and pay for 40baht. They call it here as gprs unlimited 24 hours for 40 baht only. You just need to call for an operator and have them deducted from your mobile phone account the 40baht nd so thus you have just been activated connected wireless for 24 hrs!!! She just got that from her students in tutorials, that telephone company here are offering that kind of promotion. Then, lately the three of them (Bing-bing, Orlan and Lala can do a wireles network connection (peer to peer) - they have their own laptop). Then Lala just bought a DVD player with USB. Since it takes time to burn the downloaded Grey's Anatomy in a dvd, we use a USB flash drive instead and have it connected in DVD player and there we watched the saved tv series in a USB flash drive!!! Not only the Grey's but some mtv of the latest singers and latest karaoke nowadays.
3) While waiting for the 4th season of Grey’s, at present, we are watching the DVD tv series (compliments from Mary Ann Duco), like House M.D. 3 seasons, Nip Tuck 4 seasons, Lost 2 seasons, complete seasons of Friends and Alias, Will and Grace, Prison Break, Boston Legal 3 seasons. Thanks gid Ann ha… you light up our spare times!!! I sometimes take it with me some of this DVDs at home in province and continue watch it there.
4) I’m making lesson plans too for my summer class. That’s when I have vacant during weekdays and have chance to inet surfing and find and make friends from friendster or make blogs and upload pictures. Just like what Im doing here in blogspot.com.
5) Happy to be with my family here in Thailand, my sister Lala, my cousins Bing-Bing and Smile and our adopted brother Orlando. Also my extended family, like my Filipino and Thai friends, my students and my colleagues., Happy from wandering around Thailand and being treated very kindly, they’re really are a warmhearted kind persons. Well I guess all of it are blessings. It is indeed are. A peaceful blessed country.
6) Since we do have one week vacation from April 9-16 and it’s Thailand’s New Year’s Day (Songkran Festival April 13-16) we will go to one of Thailand’s finest beaches Pathong,Phuket Beaches.
Though sometimes, I can’t help myself from thinking of the loss I gained, somehow, I find myself on how to deal with it. It’s really a reality that things are really do happening not only to me but I think it is happening and will happen to each and everyone of us. I am in this level on how to go on and deal with it. Lately, I’ve been thinking on all the aspects of life and it made me correlate it to the reality of life. Like life is like any of the competitions it may be in arts or in sports. Athletes or players are preparing for the best to be the best and be a winner, like in running competition, you may have that skills but risks like you may stumble down, but because you want to win you will get up and continue running you may be left behind but if you believe you will win you will do what it takes, but since you fall and some didn’t, they will gain and definitely you will loose. But loosing the game won’t stop there, just continue running and finish it. You may be the last, the thing is, you still manage to run. There’s still a second time around. Practice, practice, believe in "practice makes perfect". Go on, take another running strategy and take whatever inescapale inexhorible mysteries of life. Just deal with it, run, run, run for your life. Once, you may be that slow at the beginning but if you do practice and deal with it over and over again, you will be at your best, we may stumble and fall, but the thing is, running your own life and learn from downfall and success will lead you to become a greater person from the least person you thought you are. It’s being able to overcome the loss and gain triumph. That's just what life has to offeer. Life is complicated indeed. But of course believe in yourself be strong, learn from mistakes and accept downfalls, whatever it takes, treasure everything. All are for us to appreciate that life has many things for us to offer and whatever it is, all of it are blessings. Believe in everything, believe in yourself, just be optimistic, but most of all believe in the power if PRAYERS. Thus everything will turn out to be fine in God's plan.
P.S. Thanks for my family and friends out there in Philippines for all the support. Even just for phone calls or through inet chats, they all fill the gap they fill the distance. I MISSED AND I LOVE YOU ALL
