Starting Over

Life can get even better..
I strongly believe so.. Despite all the low points in my life, I still managed to be happy and thankful for everything God has laid upon me.
I guess something inside me,maybe the same flicker of hope that had guided my daughter, made me think that life could be better.

Lara's having her sunday swim right now. This is in exchange for her being the patient and understanding daughter during my busiest of times. And here I am, taking my time off from work.

I have come to realize that time is so short for meaningless musings.. (been doing that a year ago). So, what i promised myself this year? to live life in the simple pursuit of happiness in all its infinite varieties: plan family activities like swimming or a simple badminton game once a week, finish a good book in two hours (coz i haven't been doing that lately. It's taking me a week just to finish one because I was always tired at the end of the day), start on my long forgotten journal (it can actually help on strengthening one's perspective about life, it can also relieve stress once you jot down everything.. a quick release), relive my forgotten passion -photography (years ago i was so into it. This summer's the best time to reignite what once used to make me feel so free, happy and a little creative. What else? Stop putting barriers on myself? Connect with friends? It's the simplest way to learn and grow.

Moving on..

Still the overprotective freak that i am. i can't seem to finish this Midnight Sun draft (the other side of Twilight- from Edward's perspective). I keep on checking on lara if she's still having fun, she's not hurt or anything.
Anyway, about the book, there's so much more to this story, to Edwards' than there is to Bella's. It's page-turning. Sad thing though, there's no hard copy yet, as i've heard. Read through the net.. (thanks to Chel by the way, for recommending)

Now lara's making friends.. she's the opposite of me. I'm the timid, shy type during my younger years. She's the active, friendly, and talented one. She'd rather excel in co-curricular than her academics. I just hope it won't stay that way. Can't wait to find out on her next journey to grade school..
