what a rush

2010 has sped by so far. only one month since my last entry and already so many things have changed. pretty amazing... and i'm oh so thankful for it all. a whole new situation/outlook/phase, whatever you want to call it. whatever it is, i'm loving it. new digs, new job, new pup, new diet, new ink, and too many new adventures to try and recap in one entry. i hear, see, feel, bla bla bla more. like i hoped i would be—i'm awake again.

what next? more inspiring people to meet, amazing places to visit, meatless-scrumdelicious food to eat, eyes and ears to open (including mine own), et cete-freaking-ra. up and down, all around this grand old universe i go.

it was funny, the other day, to see a bunch of guys lined up for last minute flowers. i couldn't help but make up stories in my head for each of them for when they would meet their significant others later that night. one dude even picked up and considered getting his partner a garden statue. i mean come on. might as well get car fresheners shaped as dice. really?

i'm slowly discovering myself more each day. figuring out what drives me, what makes me tic and toc. i ask myself that question often, "what drives you?" it helps me ponder why the f*ck i do the things i do and feel the ways i feel. so far i know this about my 'now-self' (subject to change in the case that i change my mind in the future, duh):

• my roots drive me (my mom & pops, homeland, culture, all that good ish).
• i'm apparently passionate about public service? question mark here not because i dislike the idea but because i'm still playing around with it.
• meat wasn't as hard to give up as i thought & a veggie diet is a whole new world (insert magic carpet ride here).
• most of the time i'm an introvert but when necessary, i switch it up to 'extro.'
• sweet tooth 637, which will eventually kill me so i need to stop.
• i value open and genuine communication, in all areas of my life both personally and professionally. a.k.a. shady folks need not try.
• pinaka mahal ko ang pamilia ko.

unconditional surrender and
rhetoric talking to self,
