Prayers Needed
omg omg omg omg omg omg omg....
my grandma's in the hospital right now because a beam fell on her...she's showing signs of concussion. she's 85 already...i'm really scared for her. Gonna be in LA 'till I make sure she's alrite. what's freaky is that I had an unnerving thought occuring just a few days back...I thought to myself: mang..my grandma's really aging...I hope nothing happens to her and stay healthy.. because if anything does happen..i wouldnt know what to do and it'll probably be the lowest low for my family. and now..THIS! i'm totally freaked out, scared, and worried...she's someone i'm REALLY close to..practically took care of me ever since when i was just a baby 'till now. I cant afford to lose her.
please keep my family in your prayers...pray for stregnth to get through all this, God's mercy, and most of all..my grandma's well-being.
Aileen..stay strong...

Fictitious Nonfiction
Randomness
I have come to term that I will never be able to give blood. I went to give a blood sample for immunization test. They only drew out a small test tube worth from my left arm...and now..my left arm's sore and numb! -_-" It did give me an evil idea tho...how to legitimately skip work...hmmm. *bing* i know! i'll contribute to the society and save lives by donating my oh so limited blood! =D genius!
NOW the subject....
Had an epiphany while watching TV the other day (who said you cant think when you vegetate? hmmm..makes you wonder if veggies and potatoes think.. o.O apprently TV's not as mind numbing as you would think...u can learn a lot from it) What does the bright light bulb entail? The story of your particular miniscure life can have different versions...however you would like to tell it. We write our own fictional novels to our not-so-fictitious lives. Just like there are different perspectives of the same event, you have different versions of "life" depending on how you want to view it. As simple as it may sound, it is not so easy to achieve. We believe in absolutes, and what are factual (those are what happened and that is what I'm going to stubbornly believe). Some people would like to create a dramatic melodrama out of the events that happened throughout their life time (the cat's dying..call 911...NOOOOOO~~~~~I SHALL AVENGE YOUR DEATH!); some like their lives to be a romance novel (oh darling..do you love me? it is total love at first sight! YOU ARE THE ONE! kiss me now!!! *smooch*); some might even like to have a Shakespearean Tragedy ('tis the faithful end of one's blissful journey, oh the moon and sun, show mercy to thy servant, for I ask for a swiftful death); and if you're Calvin (Calvin & Hobbes...the greatest comic ever!)...your life will probably be a science fiction. The bottom line is, life is what you make of it, you are the writer and you are the one with the power to make changes to the script. How would your life to be portrayed on the big screen and how you would like to make a lasting impression of your life is all in your hands. It can have the big entrance, grand finale, or it can have a plain simple plot with a teeney climax. Ergo, the happiness or the unhappiness of your life lies in your very own mind; it's all in the matter of perspectives.
To me...I would like the story of my life to be of an epic proportion with comedic threads in between. As of now...it's probably just a boring, sleep inducing and "i can care less" text book -_-" (falling asleep as I reflect upon my life..zzzz..o wait...maybe it's just work). However, it is how i tell it that matters. Even a boring text book can sound like a great novel if you give it the right "touch" and "tone" (let's watch the great story teller at work!). Afterall, it is my own version of the novel that counts =) (pffff...like i'm gonna care about how YOU tell my story).
Conclusion: live your life the way you would like your story to be told. Whether it is "happily ever after", "tragic death", "dynamic climax", or "dramatic episodes", it is all up to how you want to write it and how you want to live it.
What's YOUR story?
