I feel like I got a good massage after a warm bath, a moment for a while to shy away from all the days of toil. The water trampling on my feet creates a hush I savor for more few minutes. The tan lines on my shoulders are still very visible, and I love it. It has many stories to tell, but as private as I am, I would like to keep it as private as it should be. My mentor sent me an assignment but as of the moment, it still hangs open for me to even make a jumpstart. It made me think to outline my priorities in the next couple of years. Yes Sir Bo, I plea for extension =)
I just turned 18 (ahem) a couple of days ago, and I can feel a bizarre jolt whenever I'd think of the things that made my sanity on ground. Madness to life, I have lots to tell so I cannot be an object of your envy just in case...
-Games are not my cup of tea. I've never played Farmville, Plants vs. Zombies, and Candy Crush Saga. If cops would handcuff and throw to jail innocents of online games, I'll be the lone occupant, the President and Muse behind bars.
-I only learned to carry make-up when I was 27. As I mentioned before, my guy will never be pressured because I'm a low-cost maintenance girlfriend (soon). If you would raid my bag, I'm sorry to disappoint you that it contains old receipts..from ATM receipts down to credit card receipts dated don't-ask-anymore-ok. But be glad to know I dumped it all before turning 28=)
- I often forget to bring a towel to the bathroom. When my alarm would wake up almost all the people in our flat, it's automatic that my feet would drag me to the bathroom. And only after I have a good bath would I sometimes realize that people who go to take a shower should bring a towel with them. Or you'll end up tiptoeing with your old big shirt. Been there, done that.
- I cheated twice in my life. The first time was when I first made a love letter. I do not know how to make an introduction that I needed to copy lines from the Bible. The second, when I chase after a love I'll never have.
Years are turning fast. Chances come and go, some of them are one-way road. The sun will still shine 10 years from now, but you are not sure if you are still there on that sunrise .So wear that bikini while your waist line can be measured, while your skin can still lock moisture, while the lines in your face are the lines of laughter, and the structure of your body can support your jump shot, while you are still at your best shape, and you don't need an external memory to remind you how it is to be happy. Dream the wildest dreams your imagination can afford and live life as if it was the day you were born. Where everything is new, everything is something you look forward to discovering and learn, where there are no "if only", "I shoulda' and woulda' and coulda'". Don't be afraid to make mistakes and look stupid at times, for happiest people in the world are the ones who do not need to think what others will think. They live within their outlines, by simply being who they are. Lastly, don't be sorry for loving someone. It's the most contagious disease in the human history.
Live the life you always wanted. For you'll never be your age again.
