...i was quite cranky. it's the time of the month again and everything just aches. little things piss me off easily. hehehehe
...i was finally able to say no to something that is not in line with my values, my morals. i am a person who can be coaxed into doing something that is in line with "helping others". i was asked to do just that but after careful consideration (well...after just a few minutes), it just didn't seem right and today i stood firm on that "NO". am proud of myself for that and being the pushover that i am, i know i couldn't have done it without the encouragement of special people.
...was a straight 9-hour work day. in lab class, a coworker happened to pass by and then we got to talk and he told me about his frustrations at work. at 230, i was clammy and pale, and my vision was getting blurred. so i was brought to the clinic where they gave me a cup of water with a lot of sugar (hypoglycemia is something i don't wanna experience again). i wanted to finish a lot today so i can have a little break next week that i forgot i haven't eaten since i left home at 730am, saying no to the breakfast dad prepared. now i know better. next time that poached egg + longganisa is mine! =)
...after class i met up with a friend to get something. i thought it was just gonna be the two of us, catching up and finalizing our transaction. but i was wrong. i met her in a restaurant and there were some new people and past acquaintances. i was asked to stay and so i did but i told them it'll just be for a short time since i have an early morning tomorrow. turns out that D, my friend's friend was celebrating another chance in life, in love. she got her annulment ("it took just 8 months! ex-hubby wanted the same thing and though i felt sad at first, the chance to be happy with a great and lasting love is what keeps me going. it was all worth it. so let's parteeeee!"). she doesn't have new man yet but her confidence in another chance is quite admirable. she has a lot of hope - for herself, her kid, her future- that's so heartwarming, so encouraging, that even though she wasn't really a friend-friend, i felt so happy for her. before i left, i took a shot of tequila with everyone to cheer her on her second chance.
...just about a while ago, i talked to one of my best friends in high school and told her about my day. we talked about sticking to what we feel is right and we talked about second chances. she's feeling bad lately and so we volleyed back and forth, encouraging each other despite the uncertainties. there was a lot of chatting that happened, a lot of questions that came out, some were answered while others are left hanging.
at the end of the day, i guess there really are no accidents in this world. God brings people into your life to encourage....then He also brings people who will encourage you. He brings the right people to you. To help you help them be better. To help you be better.
I am thankful for today. it was such a long day but it ended with me full of hope for second chances. for better things to come. for the future.
Goodnight, friends.
