Quezzies

Wow… Just updating my friendster profile… I’ve lost a bit of interest in certain things I must say. Motorbikes, interest still there, but not so much. Table soccer, fad has died down. Jars of Clay’s album Furthermore.. has been overtaken by songs like Glory, Forever, etc.Haha. No more New Asia Bar, no more clubbing man. More of chilling. Cute guys, still in man!!! But I need some maturity and sensibility please! Hahaha! Swimming, out :( I still love being fashionable, I still love guitar jamming…I still love shopping and food and laughing bwahahahah… yup, that’s it, that’s me – Marie :D

So I bought a guitar the other day. 7 May 06. Ibanez acoustic guitar. Finally!! Birthday pressie to myself. Used my Progress Package loh. So happy. Was almost swayed by looks I tell you. There was a pretty cool and compact looking Ibanez guitar that had a pick up. But the sound was not so good :( So I settled for this plan brown, pretty humongous (my arm aches man haha) guitar but the sound is heavenly. And I just discovered yesterday that the pick makes a difference. I used a different pick to play and it was so much more smoother. So looking forward to playing praise and worship. Glory is my favourite song right now. It’s just amazing coz the song just brings feelings of joy, awe, wonder whenever I sing it – giving God the praise that is so rightfully due.

I wonder what’s next for me. I have been wondering about that for some time. What do I like to do. I like writing. But more of the reflective blogging reviewing commenting kind. Well, I can compose poems and songs too. I like being fashionable. My ownself that is. With clothes, accessories, make up. Anything funky. I love being silly just to make people laugh. I love my nephew and nieces. I love my mommy. I love Jesus. I love shopping. I like eating good food. I love playing Praise & Worship songs on my guitar. I love hanging out with my friends. I love the movies. So, summing all of these up, what can I make my next career to be? Hmm, I still have no idea!

I really wonder how do some people know what they wanna do in life and just do it. I don’t even know if I wanna join the religious or remain a spinster or get married. Or rather, what I’m supposed to do; meant to do. I wanna start my own business but what? Can I even write a book in tiny Singapore? Gosh. Questions questions… when will I get the answers. Or find the answers. Time is running out…. Tick tock tick tock tickkkk…..

Finally, today, I was so happy!
May 8 2006 - Me turn 24. TWENTY FOUR! Is that old or what. Nevermind I am still a young adult. Early twenties. Bwahahaha!
I dreaded today. Last night went to sleep wishing I had taken leave today. I did not because I did not want to bum around at home by myself. Took leave tomorow instead so I can stay out late tonight and wake up late tomorow bwahahaha. Yeah... I'm a wierd person.
Today morning as usual I could not get out of bed despite my handphone alarm ringing a million times.. and my mom calling me... finally she said I had to get up coz Philip (my 4 years 7mth old nephew) was on the phone!!! I put the phone to my ear and he was like... "tita marie" (in his cute little voice... tita is Tagalog for auntie)... "happy birthday" and then he started singing happy birthday to me... and another time in Chinese to me. Then my little niece, Patricia, 2 years and 10 months old took her turn.... Philip was like "I want you to come over... but I have school..." I was like "sure I'll come when you don't have school" and he was like "but today is your birthday... save for me the birthday (cake)"... haha... and I was like "give me a kiss" and he was like "how" and I said you can make the sound, so he did... what a wonderful way to wake up today. I hadn't seen them since January when I went over last Sat. Thought they had forgotten me but they hadn't...they were so excited to see me and the love of these kids is simply amazing. Not forgetting little Paulyne who's 1 year 9 months.
This year's birthday was a reminder for me that there are so many people who care enough for me that even though they don't show it in a way that perhaps I want them to other times, they showed it on my birthday. I had round the clock wishes for my birthday and it was amazing... unlike other years when I had in towards the end of the day or even not at all... this year majority was in the morning and it kept coming throughout the day I felt loved.... so wonderful.

Actually everyone has been making my day... I wanna say a huge thank you especially to Kemmy, Francis, Jock, Annette, Dennis.

Thank you Kemmy for being such a sweetheart and remembering and planning.
Diana, you've always been such a sweetheart... Jesus has blessed me with the wonderful gift of you.
And those who signed my birthday card... especially Fr Damian... and for calling me and wishing me a day earlier with no mention of work at all! Hahahah... it's so nice to be appreciated...
I think all in all.... Jesus has shown me His love in the wonderful people around me....-haha, I should not isolate myself and I am definitely not alone- and that was my birthday wish... when I blew out the candles today.... for His love and love for all of you....
I can survive. Yeah! Love love love. Amen.
