Last Thursday was a pretty dramatic Valentine for me. Not so much about the chocolate nor the candies, it's about DRUGS! oh yeah... I had a pretty bad fever last Thursday. I had it for all day long and it was constant 102.7 F. I could hardly get off of my bed, but I did since I had been drinking tons of fluid so I needed to dispose them eventually. As I was lying in my not too firm bed, I was going through list of people that I would wish for a happy Valentine's day. My family was definitely on my top list...miss them so badly and love them so much...My two high school best friends, Lyn and Jane...My professors and my cohort members...As I was going through my imaginary list, I realized that almost half of the people that are on my list were not close geographically. How about friends who live in the neighborhood? or..my roommates?

I am thankful for my close friends. I am thankful for one of my best friends and one of the best cook I know, Melissa. I'm thankful for her warm home-made mushroom porridge that did not only warm my throat but also my heart.

I am thankful for roomies, Winny and Vidia. Winny was very busy calling people, asking for medicine and some advice concerning my health. She made sure that I drank enough fluids. Toward the end of the day, I was feeling much better and both of them was trying their best to cheer me up. I was entertained and I really enjoyed their company.

I realized that it is soooo easy to take people around us for granted.
Happy 'belated' Valentine's Day...


Love never fails...

It was Christmas Eve when I decided to create a blog. I wasn't sure if I'm a blog person type. I wasn't even sure if I could write something everyday. But, I decided that it was not the reason why I wanted to start a blog anyway. I wasn't trying to prove that I am a blog person type. I am just an ordinary writer who craves to be a better writer. One of my favorite children's book author and illustrator, Peter H. Reynolds, said, "Don't just say you are a writer...Write."
So here I am.. writing my first entry. It took me a couple month to finally start writing on my blog. See...I am the kind of person who wants to start everything perfect...and I mean PERFECT. I don't know about how I want to ends it but I would definitely want to start things in the correct and precise order. That's why sometimes it took a while to get me started on things.

I wonder why people created a blog in the first place? What happen to the good old journal?
Somehow, I still think journal books are fantastic. especially when it's handy. But I think what makes blog fun is because I can change the way my "journal" looks anytime I want and however I want for FREE!! haha...
