I know we're cool.....

Life has been so busy as of late.


Well, it's always busy and seemed so for the last few years but I find myself casting aside old hobbies for new obsessions without noticing how my time is spent. I make room little by little for things I'm currently interested in and waste a few hours here and there reminscing when I used to love a certain project or a certain hobby. It makes me nolstagic when I flip through old yearbooks and remembered when I thought it was just a phase when it's really all about creating precious memories of youth.

Since my weekends have been incredibly packed with social engagements and errands, I've been grabbing precious time to myself this week, to clean through my packrat tendencies and be more proactive about accomplishing things. I'm a dreamer by nature and I get distracted easily. Extremely easily. Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] mousapelli, for flailing over the Yorokobi no Uta PV again, which caused me to watch it and flail over it again and again while making pasta for dinner. But I have a few things knocked off my list of things to accomplish for the week.

It has been very restful, tending to a part of me that I don't normally pay attention to. I'm always in such a rush to enjoy life with other people, energizing myself with their infectious views on life and their positive vibes that I forget that I crave the peacefulness of my own busywork at home.

I had dinner with my siblings last night, the first time in many starry nights. It was comforting, talking to them about their day and their interests as sis and I puttered around the kitchen, drinking a glass of 2005 Rosemount Syrah. Usually, we're all eating at various times, seeing one another at fleeting moments before our own activities claim us. (BTW, [livejournal.com profile] shinigamitabris & [livejournal.com profile] mousapelli, my kid bro will be able to pick you up at the end of your Osaka leg. *still jealous!*)

Also, I've been thinking about change. About how much change I've embraced and how much I've stagnated. It's a bit discomforting to know how much I've stayed in my comfort zone but I also realized how much bigger my comfort zone became. All the things I've experienced, I've dismissed as life and continued on my merry way. Now that I'm in an emotional place where I'm more stable, happy, and ready to take on challenges, I find that I grew in places I never expected to.

Not that it's a bad thing.

But wow. It makes me confident of taking on new challenges and finishing up old ones like learning kana! I will conquer theeeeee!, especially when I have wonderful friends who truly value me. Life is just that much sweeter.

After the famine came the feast. I dealt with so much in the last two years that each time I stop and revel in just being alive, my appreciation of everything just grows. Kisses from a way-too-precocious-for-his-own-good fishbot to appreciating wine country with someone who's never experienced wine-tasting to the gorgeous weather (clear, sparkling blue skies, warm sun, and a mild breeze) to the positive feel of my environment.

Oh hay [livejournal.com profile] sandpanther, burning incense does help with the zen! :-P

Everything just seems so vibrant. I am giddy over the resurgence of energy despite the unchange in my sleeping patterns or stress levels. Maybe I'm dealing with the stress differently? I'm not sure but I'm not overly worried about it. Things will work out.

Everything will be okay.



P.S. Maybe next time I will write a jweb style entry. I miss reading the entries of those who did it once a week. *carefully does not look in Jakki's or Shabz' directions*

It is one of the most addicting songs I've heard in a while and it's even more special since Ryohei is completely silly in the video.

hahah. [livejournal.com profile] mousapelli and I are completely addicted to the song. Wifey just shrugs her shoulders at me whenever I delve deeper into pop music since she's more of a rocker kind of girl. Me, I adore pop and catchy music, so their latest single made me happy. Plus, JIN. *____*

The coupling is okay to me. I prefer DBSK's coupling songs more. *_____*

Yup.
