"...a simple thought about marriage: this woman is all women, and when you chose her, you became Jay Gatsby and Robert Jordan and Prince Andre and Raskolinov and Ishmael and embarked on a life of imagination, which adultery cruelly violates, and breaks up the music in your head,and also it's a hell of a lot of work to scout up something inferior to what you and she can create at home.You have roamed the Western world in search of a the perfect tuna sandwich; your wife makes a good tuna sandwich; your powers of imagination are what make it perfect."
- Garrison Keillor, "Love Me"

I`ve read most of your post and even responded to one of your blogs, most of your blogs seems fascinating for me , not to brag or to impress you but honestly we have the same problem , so in some short of a way or so i can relate to your problem a bit, yeah iloilo can be a boring place with just friends keeping you busy and entertained ,malls to go to ,restaurant to chow down with them ,movie time and ect. for once in our life we wish to experience living alone for a moment ,feel the wonders outside of out borders , do some sort of stuff we never done before and laugh about it, meet new friends see new place`s or even work just for a moment to see how it felt not to be destined here, to do things we never experience to do, to do things with out the help of our family, yeah that would be nice but on the other hand maybe our family needs us , in my case, being the eldest in our family with a chinese bloodline , most likely i would handle things around here. although i felt obligated to do it , i`m just being optimistic about it , my parents have work hard for me to graduate and finish college , may be thats what they want for me to be their successor or so , and that whats chains me from here, i for one truly believe that everything`s happens for a reason and we might not know it yet , only time could tell , by then lets just wait and hope for the best , do the things that keep us happy here , who knows may be one day we`d see an opportunity for us.
Hey, thanks :) I am feeling better, seeing the brighter side of things. Maybe this is the opportunity already, and I'm just beginning to see it. ...'Til the next time I start feeling down and rant about it again I guess. Heheh
Sounds like you have quite some stuff on your own plate. You've been doing that for long? Good luck ;)
yeah i`ve been through a lot lately , so many regrets in my life, about love , business , family ,decisions, and thing i wish i could have done better, i also wish why things could`nt just get easier and smoother the way i want it to be, why can`t life be much more simple , and just when things got worst for me , i saw a T.V. ad stating "fall down 7 times stand up 8" then realize that these challenges they gave us, this test they made us go through ,the sole purpose is to strengthen us, when we fall , we fall. but never stop standing up cuz one day they`ll see after all the odds we`ve been through nothing we`ll break us,"live life without regrets" i hope you could get something out of this story. take care! =)
