My vacation is almost over. It’s been a good vacation for me. First, we went to Hong Kong. We were lucky that A(H1N1) was not yet known at that time. But you know what? When I was at the airport and we were searching for the baggage counter, a stewardess came running towards me. She couldn't speak English, but she was pointing at my ears. I thought my cross earrings were not allowed in Hong Kong! Then she took out this thermometer and put it in my ear. My family was laughing so hard because they said I looked sabog or sick! I remembered my prof who told me that I look like the Ebola virus… Hahaha! Good times…
Then I had this training for almost a month. They promised to give us ₱60 per day as an allowance, but we still haven't received it. I hope they give it soon. It’s almost June. WTF!!!
Then I finished reading books that I was dying to read. It’s a nice combination: I read The Secret, The Alchemist, and I’m still reading The Catcher in the Rye. Hehehe… The latter one was written decades ago, but I think Holden's situation is really modern. I think it’s a really good book, but I’m not yet done reading it. FYI, my cousin’s name is Holden, so now I know where my Tito got it! It’s a nice book to read to start a new school year—it’s about a boy who failed almost all his subjects.
Anyways, I’m not yet done reading New Moon because I lost interest. Well, I was about to finish reading it, pero tinamad na ako. The movie helped me not finish it. I am not a fan of Twilight—I’m reading it just for the hell of it. I’m still looking forward to reading Paulo Coelho’s books. I think I might read those books since I really have a lazy schedule.
Speaking of my schedule, I call it "lazy" because in a 5-day school week, I’ll only go to school 3 times. Tapos puro half-day, at puro pang-gabi din. Sabi ko nga kay Lis, kung may Swine Flu man sa school namin, 'di kami mahahawaan kasi laging half-day at pang-gabi kami! Ahahahah…
Oh, I want to start my 4th year in college… I’m dying to graduate!!
Surprisingly enough, I am reading three books consecutively. The first book I am reading is New Moon by Stephenie Meyer, but I started to get irritated, so I tried reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. These two books are e-books, which means I’m using electricity while reading them. When I am not using my laptop, I am reading a book called The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama that was given to me by a family friend two or three years ago. I would say it’s advisable to read The Secret and The Art of Happiness one after another. These two books are about ways to find happiness.
I would say The Secret is a life-changing book because it changed my perceptions and way of thinking about things. I realized I was sending negative signals to the Universe, which is why I didn't have what I wanted. The Secret goes like this… you should think of the things you want. For example, if you want a new cellphone, visualize it and think of it. Then, believe that you have already received it, and the Universe will do its work. I think you should read it to really understand The Secret.
A while ago, I opened Facebook and saw something that made me shiver. I apparently had a secret admirer (daw) from my friends list. I clicked on it, but it redirected me to some random site. I think it was just propaganda or spam… alam mo naman sa internet, ang daming nagba-pop up. But maybe, by believing in The Secret, the Universe made my simple wish come true. I have a crush on one of my friends on my friends list, and I keep thinking that we are together, etc., so maybe the Universe answered it… I don’t know… I’m confused…
What am I doing right now? I am fixing my Universe according to what I want to happen… I hope the genie will answer my wishes in my pursuit of happiness….
