Life's Surprises

It is officially two weeks when I had my surgery and my, have i learned a lot! Besides being submerged with TV shows both local and foreign, this experience has taught me so much about life. It is not actually life changing; well, fine, it is, but not a total turn around. I mean i think my values and principles are still the same and my life plan are all still intact.

First, I think i would value my health more. Not that I will be that health buffed, nor diet freakazoid-counting-callories-every-bite, but I think i got the whole meaning of wellness. I felt how useless i could be, more so how helpless i could be. But it is now that it came to me that i should be thankful with that i am able to work and move around. Rather than be sulking on how stress i am or too busy to do certain things.

Second, I learned the value of friendship. That there will be a time when you need friends and they will not be there for you-- even at a life or death situation. There are those who are TOO fair weathered. There are those who are JUST there during the bad times. There are those who are there both good and bad times. But what exactly hurts the most is those who cannot even be there for either situations. I guess like i did, they've moved on to better things ahead by leaving baggages on certain milestones-- keeping them frozen in time through photos or even blog posts. But what does a girl do when she meets a new world? hmmm.. that's for me to know and for you to find out coz as ate jess said, social circles eventually becomes social squares-- you'll be left with 4 people in the world : You, your boyfriend, and at least two good friends. ....Again, thanks to :), "don't worry about the people in the past; there's a reason why they didnt make it to your future"... I guess i found another reason.

Third-- Things do fall into places at the right time. I admit, I was anxious on eventful things before my surgery happened. Fleeting moments of self pity, being chased by another moment of tears with no reason at all. Eventually, being immersed with it will make you just play it along and go along with how things flow. Slowly, you just become aware of how things just fell into place and usually, it is God's time that it happens. God has His ways of making you understand why things arent for you at that moment, then eventually He would just surprise you when you suddenly realize, "hey, i've been waiting for that moment".. and as i always said, it was like one of those things you think is never gonna happen, and then it does, and it's everything you wanted it to be. Thus, patience.. is the road to understanding... and to a happy heart!

I guess these are just a few that i can actually put into words. I guess this is a good closure on this life chapter as i start a new one tomorrow. Grad School, meet Anj!
