Crazy Little Me September 13, 2007
Posted by bebenibadoodles in Mental Detour.trackback
My life is an endless series of trials and errors to get things done my way, in exactly the manner i want it done. Perfection as mybebe tells me often is not the only way to live and be truly happy in this life. I guess i am just a little off the norm and whether mybebe likes it or not, he will have to live with the very unusual way i live my life.
As i have been tagged, so must i answer: what are the 8 crazy things i have done to justify my human existence:
1. Enrol in Law School believing that i can prove to the world that i can be a Lawyer, only to discover later that i would rather break the law than construe it. Funny thing though is that because mybebe has become the Student Council President, i found my way to fame (which by the way i enjoyed so much) when the Dean tagged me as First Lady and everyone in Law School started to recognize me.
2. I have turned sleeping anytime and anywhere as a hobby rather than a physiological need. In fact, just recently i fell off my chair in the bus because i was so deep in slumber, i totally forgot that i was in a moving vehicle. Just got a bruised knee and a slight foot sprain that hurts like hell.
3. My head is harder than the coconut. Whenever i want something done, it has to be done in exactly the manner and output i expect. The same reason why i don’t delegate because i hate explaining and not getting the result i want.
4. I have an over bloated ego and i feel like i am the most superior person in the whole wide world. Somehow, i have found a way of getting through the rough patches of day to day living without being the cry baby that i used to be.
5. I believe that painful encounters with people subside with time, but the memory of the hurt remains no matter how long it takes. It is easy for the heart to forgive but very difficult for the mind to forget.
6. Daddy and I are not like the usual father – daughter tandem who talk for ages. I didn’t grow up like that, but Dadda knows that he is loved way beyond the moon and the stars. Just got so lucky to have such a great father.
7. I am very conscious about putting on additional weight. In fact, i almost became anorexic when i was in high school because i was so worried about putting on extra pounds i started skipping my meals.
8. People who keep on asking if mybebe and i are on our way to parenthood annoy me so much. Despite my erratic moods and my neurotic thoughts, i still believe in the sanctity of marriage. Besides, i would want my parents to be really proud of their first born and my siblings to have a moral example to look up to.
At the end of my life, i want people to remember me as someone who has lived a full life and would be a shining example of humility and passion to the succeeding generations that will be a part of the family that my parents have started and loved. When all else fails in life… i shall have one good thing to hold on to… that i have spent a life well lived.
You do write like a lawyer. Just take one from your list and it’s a whole life itself. Make it eight…..it would be chaos. I think you did your human existence justice enough. You should coz you are a lawyer(future lawyer maybe)……because justice is what you do.
Hi Igor… i gave up on the dream of becoming a Lawyer when new opportunities manifested so i had to move on and focus on a career that could somehow lead me to a life better than the one i was born with.
hi. i’m not sure if you understand the ilonggo dialect but thanks for dropping my blog site.
Hi Kwan… i am surrounded with Ilonggo friends in the workplace so somehow medyo nakaka relate naman kahit konti.
amen to the last paragraph!
nicely put!
