Long Walks

I love long walks. Like long bus rides, long walks are great opportunities for heartfelt talking and thinking. Just around two hours ago, I went for an unplanned 20-minute walk home with someone special (while nibbling on some soft, yummy pandesal), and I realized some things about my life:

• I'm thankful for my family. We may be far from perfect--actually we're quite a dysfunctional bunch if you ask me--but the minimal happy moments that we get together together are moments that mean the world to me. We all have our differences, issues and what-have-you, but graduations and Christmas are my favorite occasions because these are the only times we come together as one happy, laughing-and-reminiscing-altogether family. It is quite sad that we may have stopped looking forward as a team, but we will always have rich memories that bind us together.
• I should put down my rose-tinted glasses and start looking at life in all its colors.
• Age is directly proportional to the amount and severity of problems, the level of difficulty to lose weight, and the variety and number of lessons and experiences that you earn.
• When everything seems messed up, always remember that there are people who love you and who will help you see things through.
• I want a lover and a best friend rolled into one. I want to be someone's lover and best friend rolled into one. That would be really great :)
• I should choose happiness.
• I super kaduper want to make cupcakes and I super kaduper want an oven. (Okay, I didn't think of this while walking, but still. Hihi.)
