so this is how mortal feels. ha! it's weekend, and i'm in my down time. the bug caught me --- nasty cold and nagging headache that seemed so determined to crack my skull wide open. of course, i'm such a drama queen. it is a bearable physical pain that only required rest and a potent dose of vitamin c and bottomless liquids. but on a weekend when i feel that my family and loved ones deserve some QT from me, i feel that there is no rest even for the fatigue-d.
the weekend is about to end. everyone around me is asleep while i attempt to blog (because sneezing and runny nose are not good sleeping companions.) i napped earlier and ate arroz caldo. facing my laptop, the light glares back at me. there is no more excuse to not blog.
how can i capture two weeks of blogging absencia?
i turned 38, and no monumental change marked that milestone. i mean, i'm no different from pre-July 3 this year. i am still round, bold, OC and G&D. i still cannot drive on my own. i cannot stay away from cravings' chocolate caramel cake (even if i know it'd add to my obesity). i am still a rahrah girl for friends whose love lives are colorful and fun (yup, at our generation!). i am still a closet showbiz reporter. i am still curious, provocative and insightful. i am generous to a fault. i am still an obscenely wealthy matron-wannabe. i am a government official who attempts to professionalize herself and those under her. i am me.
so what does being 38 signify?
well, i will be purposive in everything that i do. i will get rid of stressors because i want to live longer. i will clean up my act because i want to have moral ascendancy as i encourage others to do the same. i will read more and more. i will study a new area (development) and/or specialize further on research and project management. i will enjoy and have more fun because i work hard, and i deserve the partying after! i will be more faith-full, allowing Him to guide me. I will love myself more by eating in moderation, and doing healthy-ier things.
i will be more generous with my time.
i realized that in this ever so fast-paced world and the whirring, rambling and crazy busy life that almost all my age-group claim, there seems to be less and less regard for time. people hurry from one meeting to another. people spend agonizing hours in a meeting (that isn't productive anyway!). people text and accept calls even when in social gatherings.
there is no more quiet time. there is lesser time for one's self. there is, often, no more (personal) time with Him.
now it hit me. as i write this, i will be purposive (too) as i spend my time. i will make sure that my day is 24/7 and that rest is a given. i will not stretch myself too thinly. i will learn new things and spend more time to strengthen what i already know. i will write more. i will further innovate in my mentoring.
Time is my friend, and i will make sure i will not take it for granted.
