It's early morning
and I'm still awake... hehe.
I am now a professional sleepyhead by day, insomniac by night.
I dunno, I just can't sleep. I gave up on tossing and turning on the bed and decided to immortalize my thoughts on livejournal. I've just been thinking lately -
I feel so blessed and lucky for everything that God has given me. I have a car and Manong Nelson to drive for me 24/7. I'm a Polo member ergo, I can sign for tennis lessons, bowling, gym under stupid Erik, magazines, food in the Kugon area and Chukkers, and pretty much everything else. I have my own room. I have food taken out or delivered to my house for dinner (I don't usually eat home-cooked meals). I have that massage chair that everybody loves. I have my own tv so I wouldn't have to compete with anyone for the programs to be watched. I have cool siblings, one-of-a-kind friends, and parents who love me beyond measure. I get to meet celebrities and high society and interact with the lower sectors of society. I have a unique family that talks showbiz, politics and everything under the sun, that is clannish in a good way, that is so together like you cannot imagine. I get to travel abroad every-so-often, sightsee and shop. I get to study in Ateneo de Manila University and be indoctrinated by its ways and prepare me for the future. And that I get to help others (seriously, this isn't just bola) in my own simple way.
I'm so damn lucky and I have God to thank for all of that. Sometimes, I wonder if I wasn't born into this family, instead, in some poor squatter family that barely eats a meal a day. And I didn't have much to be thankful for at all. What would be like that? I don't even wanna imagine gallivanting the streets and begging for spare change - spare change that I, as of now, refuse to grant because instead of helping, it just encourages them to beg instead of work for a living.
I'm thankful for what God has given me. I'm thankful for the fact that I can be thankful for something. And I'm thankful that I wanna be thankful for what God has given me and that I'll try to give it back to him by helping others - and in the future - helping the country (ok, was that some obscured way of saying that I wanna be a politician? haha. the future is wide open.)
My mother has her 'Haven for Abused Women' which has more than 10 branches nationwide, and her recently opened 'Haven for Streetchildren' in Alabang. I wanna be able to tantamount what she has done, or even do greater things in the future. This is the only way I can think of to repay God, and equally, share my blessings with others. Thank you God for what you have given me... I'll give it back to you someday. I may not be a strong practitioner of your faith - that along with Manoy Ipe and KC - I sneak out of Mass - but I'll try to be a litte more holy and spend a portion of my time with you.
Thank you God... I love you - I hope you'll never stop loving me.
