I caught My Sister’s Keeper over the weekend. It’s a sad poignant movie, and significant too especially having learned about the sudden death of a friend’s aunt. It brought back memories not too long ago when my two cousins also suddenly passed away. You can’t help but wonder why things have to happen the way they do. No one can't say for sure. Even if there are answers, no one would be satisfied with it. We have to come to terms with reality--with how short and uncertain life can be, and how we should make the most out of it. Now. We shouldn’t postpone and regret not having said or done the things that we want to say and do. Here’s the list that I promise (and hopefully) will do:
1. Live life well. Stay healthy (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually).
2. Stop worrying. Pursue the things that you want to do.
3. Slow down, breathe, and enjoy the scenery.
4. Create meaningful relationships. Be with the people you want to be with and appreciate them.
5. Create meaningful things and share it.
6. Build happy memories together with your loved ones.
7. Love unconditionally.
8. Hold no resentment. Learn to forgive and forget.
9. Learn to accept, give, and let go. Stop chasing and fighting the tide.
10. Be thankful and grateful.

Rainy
It’s been a rainy week. The rainy months have now officially begun. Yey! I love when it rains, save for the brownouts and floods. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because of the cold cozy weather. It makes you want to stay in and sleep in. There’s also something about the sound of raindrops falling, minus the thunder that I can’t quite explain. As long as it’s not the scary kind of rain, I always get this comforting feeling every time it rains. Masarap lang sya. And then sometimes if I’m super lucky, I get to see a rainbow after. But then, experience tells me rainy weather also means not-so-good business for most. Wah! People coop up in their homes or offices (just like me), and thus spells for no benta which makes me not want to like rain days anymore. So now I’m hoping it stops raining already. Sun, please come out.
