Leaving my 21st Age

(My 100th Post)

This is my second attempt to write this entry. My first attempt was a failure due to lack of quiet place, self- composure, and concentration. Finally, I regained what I’ve lost a while ago.

One and a half hour to go before I bid goodbye to my 21^st age. Oh yes, I’m turning 22.

The coming day is my favorite day of the year. Simply because I gather more attention from the people I know, compare to any other day of the year. I get more text messages, more posts on my wall, and more appreciation from family, friends, and other people.

Everyday, I strive to get attention to people, well, I guess that’s my way of testing my level of  acceptance, whether from my family, friends, or even in the work place. But tomorrow, everything will be effortless. Attention will just pour.

Another special thing about my coming birthday this year is that, it’s my first to celebrate my birthday with me being compensated. Technically, I was already employed last year, but sadly, I was not yet compensated at that time. That’s why this year; I see to it, that I’ll share this day to people who are dear to me, and give them, a treat as well.

According to plans, 2 of my birthday parties were successful. Though today, one flopped, and tomorrow, that is supposed to be the grandest, is about is still uncertain, I would still want to keep a good spirit within me.

Actually, this birthday is the most stressful so far. One thing is that I have to budget my money for my supposed-to-be 4 parties, while the other thing is the pressure of getting older.

I’ll be 22 in few hours, and closer to being 25, the marrying age in my country. In the past days, I was bombarded with thoughts of me being single, and what I really want in a partner. Let’s just keep it this way, realism versus idealism. Enough said.

But if I keep on over thinking, perhaps I’ll just spoil this day, where I waited and anticipated so much. Let’s just say I’ve planned and thought too much about the future, making this age turn-over a larger and complicated issue for me.

 So in short, what I plan tomorrow is having no plans at all. I’ll just let it pour, unfold itself, welcome in another year in life, and create memories out of it.

The Battle in the Brain :(

My thoughts re-declared a war against my will. In this war, I don't know where to put myself. Whoever wins, certainly, I will lose! :(

THOUGHTS THAT LINGER ON MY MIND part 2

It’s 11:39pm on my clock, and July 10 on the calendar, Sunday. It only means 2 things, that I should be sleeping now, and work awaits tomorrow.

This afternoon, I met Patrick and Athena for a movie date, and after the date, I went straight home and slept for 3 hours. Oh yes, I’m in trouble now. I need to find my way to sleep, because there’s work tomorrow, and I’m loaded. Ugh!

To help me fall asleep, I prepared myself a cup of mint milk-tea, went outside to feel the coolness of the rain, and prepared my music player. Ah! Time alone, and time to think. Then, immediately, I unplug my laptop and started writing this entry.

So what am I thinking lately?

-          what lesson to teach for tomorrow. I thought of having film viewing: SALT, but I guess it’s just a waste of time

-          what to wear tomorrow

-          Will it rain tomorrow?

-          Handra, a good friend of mine, wants me to meet her friend, a possible partner? Nah. Perhaps next time.

-          Did I really like transformers 3?

-          Is my milk mint tea cooled?

-          That this year, is a bad year for me

-          I dreamed of tooth extraction days ago, and when I woke-up my uncle died, is that a co-incidence?

-          What time will I sleep?

-          Will this birthday be a happy one?

-          Or the worst so far?

-          Will my birthday plans materialize?

-          Perhaps not, I already spent my budget for my SLR camera, and bought a watch from my uncle.

-          Will I have a girlfriend by this month end?

-          How will be our family business’ revenue these coming days?

-          So what’s in store for me on my 22^nd?

-          Will I be in the media industry in the future?

-          Or perhaps become a lawyer?

-          Who will join me in viewing the last Harry Potter movie?

-          Is someone thinking of me right now?

-          Should I need some refreshment and finally tell everyone what I really feel?

-          Should I get a snack because, I have a feeling that I’m hungry. Hahaha

-          How’s gonna be my mood for tomorrow?

-          When will get a mobile phone with mobile web? Loser!

-          Will keep my short-term memory journal, updated? Well, so far, I don’t update it regularly.

-          Who’s the first person I’ll see at work tomorrow?

-          Thinks that The Green Lantern movie sucks

End of thinking capacity….

Ok, I’m done with my thinking. These things, sometimes, makes a deep sleep so hard to achieve. Though I get the answer from those questions, true enough, you can’t advise yourself.

By the way, the answer perhaps is this: “I’ll answer those questions when I start living today, until I reached tomorrow”.

May a good Monday be granted for me, or perhaps a good July, or even a good half of the year! Good vibes! :)
