Finishing the last page of the book, The devil wears Prada, she closed it, lightly setting it down on the table, and smiled. She then made her way to her wretched computer and began tapping away.

A series of unfortunate events is the phrase describe my life lately. I guess I was right when I told a friend some time ago that I think life is one long, enduring, draggy nightmare that is punctuated by the occasional dreams and even more rare wakefulness.

I think I'm at the wakefulness stage right now.

Maybe it's the book, or maybe it's the meeting up with six girls whom I've not seen in a very very long time that woke me up.

The book is about the life of your average fresh out of college girl at her first job. She works as an assistant to this big-shot fashion guru.

"It's a job a million girls would die for"

It was hell.

Many times, in many points of our lives, we get carried away, as was the case with the protagonist.
As was the case with me, for awhile. We drive in the fast lane, so consumed with new experience, new people that often times, we lose sight of our initial priorities, things that really matter to us

: )

One week, I was down with a case of doctor- diagnosed- stomach flu, and self-diagnosed- Internt Withdrawal Syndrone. My mind took a break as my body rested. But even after I've used up my MC and returned to work, I wasn't exactly myself.

I don't know if anyone else noticed. But it has been bugging me for awhile, and well, I finally found out why.

Meeting up with the girls, hit me that alot has changed since college. People grow, not necessarily happier, but grow up, nonetheless. The world we see thru our eyes is very different now. The people we meet are very different now. No longer are we the naive, innocent fools that we used to be.

Well, at least I no longer announced loudly and apologise for farting : p

What is the point in this entry?
Actually, I don't really know myself, I just know that I'm suddenly feeling happier, clearer headed, and I guess,

I just wanted to remind myself once again, of the people that matter to me, and of whom, I matter to.

Maybe I just wanted to remind myself once again of what is really important to me, and not to neglect people who really really matter.

Or maybe, I'm only trying to remind some very busy people about their initial priorities and not to be so caught up in all the goings-on that they lose sight of what is really important.

Or maybe, just maybe,

Maybe only ah,

I just wanted to write something so that my blog doesn't look so deserted.

Ya, I have noticed you are not quite the same but just dunno what. So I think I maybe just being paranoid.

Growing up and getting older is a natural cycle, happy or not, it stills carry on without permission given. But to get wiser or not, it depends on the self whether to learn from the experiences through it.

In times of life we will be lost in this fantasy world, that we forget our direction. Therefore it is important to set realistic goals and checkpoints for yourself to bring you back to the right direction.

And most importantly, always treasure what you have now, don't come to regret only when you lose it.

So what do you have now? Youth? Freedom? Kinship? Health?
