I've been in Virginia Beach these past few days, many thanks to Jeredale of course. He's been taking me everywhere and has been nothing less than awesome, as usual. Go figure; he's an SP. But I have had a blast here hitting up hot spots, eating lots of Filipino food (which I don't get enough of), meeting families of friends, and just being around great people. I couldn't be any happier, really.
However, there is one thing that kinda balances the scale and puts everything to perspective: I just found out that my Lola was hospitalized on her 95th birthday a few days ago from an asthma attack. I have not seen her since 2004, and it just sucks knowing that I cannot be there for her at the moment. I miss her so much! I sent her an email, telling her that she is the most inspiring person I've ever met and how much I love her, etc...I just wish I could do more for her than send her an email.
At first, she was very scared and thought that it was her time to go. Last I heard, she's just ready to go home. I think she has calmed down a lot, but I really don't know what to expect. I'm trying to visit her after I graduate in May. I just hope and pray that she gets better and stays the strong, inspiring and loving Lola that she has always been to me.
Sorry to be such a downer (...not a good start for a blog right?), it just shows me how much more I should value everything I have and everyone I love...and I do. As mentioned earlier, I could not be any happier. So thanks for my family and my friends for keeping me that way.
Dang, i think this blog was a little bit emo...sorry kids. On the bright side, I finally got that egg shaker I always wanted...TWO in fact! I been looking for one for a while, haha. Many many many thanks to Justine =)
Anyways, I hope everyone has a very safe and blessed Christmas! Tune in for more later =)
