you truly do learn something new everyday. and if you disagree, you're simply not looking close enough.
i learned tons of things today. there's school, of course. i went to my classes, listened to the teacher, did my work. i learned. but i also learned that i have a best friend who'll always be there for me, that converse shoes are so hard to shop for when the sizes you're looking for range from a men's 5 to a men's 11, that my little jap sister and i can actually converse in japanese, that i have to be at school tomorrow (saturday) by 7:30 am, that my lil' kuya is the greatest brother anyone could ever have (but he's mine). it's been a long day.
i've been out of it this past week. i've been excessively forgetful (not good). my mood swings from left to right in 5 seconds. i don't know what's up with me. i'm not really stressed; i just have a lot of things on my mind. other than that, i am really glad for the people around me. seriously, everything is starting to look up.
on a semi-different note, i just want to thank someone for always keeping me in line. without you, i don't think i'd be this composed. you correct me when i am wrong, praise me when i am right, and you yell at me. this may sound so interesting to some, but that's because you don't know how much i miss it. my parents used to nag at me constantly, to do this, that. it got so annoying that i enjoyed being boundless for a while. then, i started to realize that no constraints to bind me had taken its toll, so to speak. you came to me then. out of all the things you could have done, you did the best thing. i haven't heard someone complain and yell at me like that for a while. i enjoyed it.
and then today proved everything. it didn't matter what happened before, whatever. i doesn't matter. he spoke to me best in silence. i understood every word, and i appreciate that. i really do. thanks joe.
today's going to be a sequel of yesterday: long, busy, and hectic. i'm ready to tackle.
