Hooray

Am I, Really?

How appropriate!

... It clearly defines what I need to hear (or read) right now. :-)

You are Temperance

Time. Ages. Transformation. Involuntary change.

Temperance is another card of aspiration, but also of much change. It often represents complex situations. Positively, you can harmonize contrary forces.

Temperance is, on a surface level, about "tempering."
The original pouring from cup to cup might have been about cutting wine with water.
So this is a card about moderation.
There is, however, another angle to the card, that of merging seemingly impossible opposites.

Sagittarius, the centaur, merges beast and man into a unique creature.
And then there is the bow and arrow, one moving, one stationary, working together to point the way.

Temperance may be, at first glance, a warning for you to "temper" your behavior, to cut your wine with water.
But it may also be a reminder to that seemingly irreconcilable opposites may not be irreconcilable at all.

Belief that fiery red and watery blue cannot be merged may be the only thing standing in the way of blending the two.
Change the belief, measure out each with care, and you can create otherworldly violet.

It's amazing how some writers' blogs can give you some insights on how to start the "juice" of your brain to flow.

A headache, blurry vision, and tears remind me that I must go to sleep. Yet, I'm still here, finding the words to express what I truly feel.

Ang hirap pala mag-isip...
Gusto kong magsulat, yet the "idea" of what I want to write still eludes me.
Andami ko naman iniisip...
Pero, lisud ibutang tanan into writing.

Grabe hehehe...
Ay, di na ko.
Samot na'g kasakit akong uo.

...

besides...
... wala na koy mayawyaw.

Every Second Counts

The past few days, I was feeing quite down. Bes forgot her cellphone at home... and my next resort was to talk to someone who doesn't know me... someone who would be my friend...

Someone like I***.

And this is what he has to say:

"I'll tell you another secret. Everytime I'm down, I just look at my
watch. Then I'll realize that everything will come to pass. That
every second counts. That time should [be] spent with the happy
moments..." (08.29.2007)

Since that day, I look forward to spend my time looking for my happy moment... or better yet, MAKING my happy moment!

HAPPY MOMENT (HM) #1: After a very long afternoon spent with my Mom not talking to me (I revealed something that I did that she clearly did not approve on), we cooked dinner together. Spending time in the kitchen with Mama did a lot of wonders. Ü

HM #2: The Nose sent an SMS early in the morning, telling me why he wasn't able to text back the night before. He learns fast! Ü And seeing this message upon waking up made me smile. Ü

HM #3: I was doing my I.V. Therapy Training completion; My friend and I were going in and out of the hospital wards to look for patients to do our procedures on ( I.V. insertion, IVTT meds administration and bloot transfusions). We were exhausted as we ate lunch. Happy Moment #3 happened when The Nose sent an SMS asking me how my first day of work was! (How sweet! Ü)

HM #4: In the afternoon, when my adrenalin and endorphin levels were low, Bes sent me a PM through YM, telling me how she misses me. (We share the same sentiments! Ü)

HM #5: I had my first I.V. insertion!!! And although it wasn't as good as I expected it to be, I had a clear line going. And the patient didn't complain! (How could she? She was on ETT! Ü)

HM #6: Mom and I went to SM Davao. I accompanied her as she collected payments for her customers accounts. We bought stuff for Papa, Lola, Mama and myself. I'm happy that Mama's happy. Ü

HM #7: Mom and I ate waffles on our way home. (Simple yet memorable! Ü) We were laughing about the fact that the waffle store didn't have any change for our money, and we had to rummage our wallets, purses, bags and pockets for coins... just to buy 2 waffles (one waffle for each of us). What a sight! Ü

HM #8: My BSN friends and I went out... had dinner and some few drinks. I realized how much I missed Anna, Janjan, Jhing and Kuya Velly. Getting together with them felt "homey". Ü

And the list can go on...

I felt so down that I forgot to remember that there could be numerous Happy Moments a person can accumulate in a span of 24 hours! (And the ones listed here are he most significant HAPPY MOMENTS that I could think of.

Each of us really has the capacity to find happiness in every big and small thing that we do. We just need to open our eyes and be aware that these happy moments are embedded in our daily lives.

Stay happy!!! Ü
