(no subject)
so it's been quite awhile since i last decided to write here so here goes, yet again :) lets break it down once more:
family
we're literally all over the place...well the country actually. dad and mom have actually decided that they prefer Winnipeg to Toronto and has now moved there. Mom is here with us now on "vacation" and will be going back there soon i think. It's not that bad though - Winnipeg is more relaxed than Toronto, and i could see my parents actually relax and not stress so much. Toronto is very fast paced and my parents are getting older (not that they accept it though...lol) and i think that Winnipeg will be good for them. Kuya Miles is now up north is Meadford (sp?) and he's been there for quite awhile now. He's on training with the army...he comes back every now and then whenever he can make it, but i think that he has been offered a job up there...which is not all that bad because its better pay, the only thing would be that Mia and myself would be alone with DJ. ahhaha PAARRTAYY! just kidding! and kuya abe lives with his girlfriend so i dont think that i would be seeing him as often as i used to. well he does visit us from time to time and he's always a phone call away i guess...so the plan now is to move houses because although we really like the house we live in right now, it's just too much to maintain this house for my sister and myself. we hardly go into the basement so it's being used as a storage area (and TRUST me, we have a lot of junk down there. not to mention off course that we have another storage space that we are renting for the junk from the centre...gahh) and we dont really need anything from down there so we go only if we need to do laundry or something...ahahaha it's weird being in this house by ourselves, but then again it just goes to show you how much the parentals trust my sister and i to remain here while they are 21 hours away by car, 2 1/2 hours by plane and 1 1/2 days by bus away... =)
school
ahaha im ACTUALLY excited about starting school this september. given that when i took my CPR and First Aid course, i met people in my program and a girl who has all my classes so i'm happy that i wont be a loner! ahaha i have friends! lol but yupp school is just a month away and i got my tentative schedule, my book list (gahh almost $750ish) and orientation is coming up too...i swear i'm going to get lost on my way there. it wont be like the first day going to notre dame because back then i had NO IDEA how to get to school, so i followed the girls wearing the same uniform as me and i didnt get lost. ahahaha now we dont have uniforms so i actually HAVE to find a way to get there. not bad though...it's close to the eatons centre and all my classes are on two floors! hehehe so no running around =)
YFC
well i guess i can say that although i am a leader, i have not been active these past few months....not by deliberate choice though because for one, i was not in the province to attend to the meetings and two because i had pre-planned things wayy before i knew about the events and since it is for school, i cant just not go to it or post pone it. i want to go to events but it just seems like i always have something in the way that stops me from going....maybe subconsciously i dont want to go and therefore i make excuses? i dont know...and i doubt that it is really like that because i love my service but it just seems like i have alot going on for me at the same time....take conference as an example, conference is in toronto this year and as much as i want to go, i have school as a priority and the money goes to my school and the books and the things that i need for school. maybe next year i will be able to attend conference, no matter where it is...in my 3 1/2 years in YFC, i have yet to go to a conference and i want a chance to experience it...we'll see, God willing maybe next year.
life, in general...
ahahaha i swear i thought that i would spend my WHOLE summer in winnipeg, and i guess that i am surprised that i am in toronto and not in winnipeg. if i stayed there i could have kept my job at the banquet hall and earned money! here im still applying for jobs :( gahhhh! i feel like a lazy bum but im still applying whenever and where ever i can...the ladies have kept my life from being too boring and for that i THANK them! ahaha now we just need to see each other more often. i miss those days when we didnt have to make so many plans and all it took was a simple phone call, now its like we have to make appointments for each other...but then again its not all that bad because we see that we have priorities in our lives and we need to do that before whatever else...but yeahh ladies you keep me sane these days :)
the single life is not all that bad...i'm happy where i am right now and i'm just living my life as it is day by day....i cant keep thinking about the "tomorrows" because i know that i'll go gaga if i had to think about that...and gosh i'm still young =) i have plenty of time to meet mr.for-me later on...no rush :)
to tomorrow,
come what may
God lead me
take my hand -
and show me the way
