A Night Of Reminiscing
Night has come, a cool breeze wisps through my windows and I lie in bed; pen in hand and as I write on the yellow sheet of paper that lies before me, I attempt once again to put into words what my thoughts are of the moment.
It’s my 22nd birthday and I just finished reading my favorite book, “The Wedding” by Nicholas Sparks, for the second time. I find myself smiling as I breezed through the chapters and teary eyed to a few of the scenes. I’ve always been a sucker for romance especially when the theme involves regret and change for the better.
I guess, you could say, I’m the type of guy who would give a lady a rose for reasons of, just because it’s Wednesday.
When I do ask someone out, like a formal date, it would entail that I’ve planned the whole event a month ago. All the necessary arrangements have been set and I’ve scouted the areas we were to go, as well as timed the arrival or how long it will take to get there. In Leigh man’s terms: I’d do my uttermost to make you feel special.
On my spare time, I try to concoct ideas as to how I can present a lady that I like a gift with the feelings I wish to invoke would first be disappointment to surprise and finally, appreciation. It makes the gift more memorable.
I jot everything down on a small black notebook that my Kuya and I bought a couple of years ago.
Is it wrong to try to sweep the lady you like of her feet? I suppose, so as long as she reciprocates your feelings, it’s fine.
Please don’t misinterpret what I’ve written so far, as a way of marketing myself towards you, the reader. It is not my intention. This is simply my way of expressing myself and another means of getting to know myself.
Why do I post my articles? It is in a way so that, my friends would get to know me better and understand why at times I act in deviant. And since, I do not have the luxury of spending time with all of them, this is an excellent medium, although I do what I can to spend time with them.
To some of my friends I send quotes that I’ve learned at that particular day. Always tagged with “something to ponder on…” at the start, some of those are posted in my homepage. I wrote 90% of the time, those quotes. And is another way of expressing myself and letting them get to know me a little better.
I hold my principles dearly, it is what I think separates me from most people.
I would have to acknowledge my high school years for that. Without the crude experiences that I’ve gone through, I wouldn’t have been this adamant with holding my principles and integrity.
There are times that I retreat from the world. Spending time alone and recharging my batteries. I often meditate in an attempt to control the beasts within me. As well as reminiscing of past mistakes and regrets so as not to commit the same actions again.
I do what I must to get by with in the confines of the principles that I’ve set. I see life as something we should enjoy and appreciate.
What is excellence in paper when you can’t have time with friends? If you can pull it off then, more power to you.
What is life if you can’t appreciate it? Act now if you haven’t, one day you’re off to work and thirty years later you get home alone and you realize and wonder to what happened to the thirty years of your life. Don’t get caught up with work.
Be with friends and cherish the times that you have now, change will occur, no doubt.
Trust in yourself and learn to trust your girlfriend/boyfriend and let them be alone with their friends from time to time, if you haven’t. You know she/he loves you, have confidence in yourself. Find ways to make her fall in love with you all over again.
Live the present to its fullest, we only pass this life once.
