As I was browsing through the archives of Random Ria, I stumbled upon something I said which, I think, is something very moving... Sometimes something earth-shattering happens in our lives. And in our quest to have a sense of normalcy, we get trapped in a routine. Unfortunately, our routine only reminds us of the pain and suffering. And instead of normalcy, what we get is a deathtrap of emotions. But still we are afraid, afraid to move on, afraid of change, afraid that another thing might only give us more pain. Unfortunately, our fear and anxiety paralyze us. I don't remember what happened then, what compelled me to write this, but it might have been something important enough, something big enough for me to write. Today, as I read it, I feel the same emotions. Am I trapped once again?

Random Thoughts Before I Sleep
Random Thought 1: Both the boyfriend and I love this certain song originally by the APO Hiking Society remade by Silent Sanctuary. But the song is about breaking up and losing that loving feeling. Hmmm... But listening to it somehow makes me happy because it reminds me of him. Random Thought 2: I want to cook pasta. I want to have an iPod. I want to talk to my dad. I want to podcast. Random Thought 3: Sooo many things to blog about, so little energy to blog. Random Thought 4: I am invited to five events tomorrow: Bjing's grand graduation celebration, Catet's birthday party, BT Shuffle Tournament, Test Run of GGC Inhouse League, Family Filipino Dinner for balikbayan aunt... Hmmm... I choose the dinner because I think the other stuff will only stress me out. Random Thought 5: Important things to do tomorrow: pick up laundry, pick up something else. Random Thought 6: I MUST LOSE WEIGHT!!!
Busy, Busy, Busy
Today will be a very hectic day for me because tomorrow is THE DAY! Tomorrow, all roads lead to the Convention Center at the fourth floor of the NCCC Mall of Davao. Bloggers will converge for the first ever Mindano Bloggers Summit. Today is ingress and last minute preparations day. Kuya Andrew, Gwing, and I woke up very early to do some stuff for the MBS. Then we brought him to the house where he is staying, then we had arroz caldo and tokwa't baboy at Dencia's. YUM! I then went to the office to start blogging and blog hopping.

Today is National "Thank You" Day
I first read it on Noemi Dado's blog. Today, Toblerone is spearheading today's Thank You Day here in the Philippines. I joined Noemi's Thank You Day contest, and I received an email yesterday from the organizers telling me I won two tickets to the concert tonight. Unfortunately, I can't go because I'm based here in Davao City. Anyway, I would still like to thank Toblerone for the tickets and this wonderful concept of having a National Thank You Day! From the bottom of my heart, DAGHANG SALAMAT!!! to all the people around me, even those who I wish to kill!
