Well, that was one heck of a hiatus, wasn’t it? It’s good now, and I think I benefited quite a bit from the last month. I can’t believe that the summer is over and that tomorrow, I’m off to enlist for my subjects for the first semester. Before potential bouts of nostalgia, though, I owe this wonderful web blog of mine three different SoTM’s (Song Of The Month, in case you’ve forgotten). By the way, I want to add Tattoo by Jordin Sparks as my SoTM for the month of February. Talk about one heck of a late update. Nevertheless, I shall move on to rambling about the rest of my more recent SoTM’s.
For April, it was Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door by Bob Dylan. I was singing Silent Lucidity by Queensryche for the entire month of May, and this June, it looks like I’m hooked on A Fine Frenzy’s Almost Lover. My brief explanations for each song would be finding God in April (hence knocking on heaven’s door, literally), dreaming endlessly and subsequently getting a good grasp on the significance of each dream I have in both my sleeping and waking life during the month of May, and now choosing the memories I want to keep of the past that only recently hurt me – easily, I want to keep them all and be happy about each thought and moment in time I ever had; I want to conquer any hurts and pains that might come with the package of recollecting.
After all, God probably wants me to get ready for something else now. Maybe even for someone. Who knows? I honestly wouldn’t know, and I will not seek for the outright answer. Looking isn’t an option, of course; I know now that no matter how hard I look, I will never find it unless God wants me to. Besides, He’s given me more than enough with everything that’s happened to me. And so goes the spiel I really don’t need to explain anymore. :P
Speaking of God, and most importantly, I’d like to ask you to please pray for the missed and loved soul of Mike De Larrazabal. Last June 2 marked six months since he passed away. Please pray for him, whether he needs more prayers to get to that perfect place we hope to get to when our turn would come or not (although I’m pretty sure he’s extremely happy up there already). More than that, please pray for his family. God is with them, but a few extra angels for them certainly wouldn’t hurt, yes?
You are missed and loved, dear Mike. Look out for us up there. :)

So much for my SoTM’s – anyhow, look at the date! Today is the fourth of June 2008, which marks one more day to the university semestral flagellation more commonly referred to as the seemingly harmless ‘online enlistment’. On the brighter side (or not), June 4 marks six more days until June 10, which means…
(Insert answer here)
I have to say I’m pretty excited. That day would mark a lot of new things for everyone, maybe particularly for me. These changes are precisely the very things I have spent the last two months preparing for, and now they’re almost here. At least, I’m this close to getting to where they are; to get to that future that will soon become my present is an exciting idea for me. I can’t wait for friends, both old and new, new experiences, fresh memories and changes that will make me a better person worthy of more in the future.
Wait, so what have I been up to the last two months? Honestly, I only started to get really productive at the start of May. I took badminton classes and driving lessons. What became of badminton? Well, I sweated a lot, but I can’t actually say that I’ve got game now, sadly. It really is just one of those fun things I’d like to do without pressure. Driving was alright, but I got so used to the Vios I was driving that I struggled quite a bit with the Revo I’m actually supposed to be driving. Anyhow, I got my license last May 30 and will get in some practice in the next few days. My uncle promises me that come the start of the school year, our practice sessions would be me driving from the house to school, and from the school to the house. I’m still praying for guidance with that, of course – honestly, I get pretty nervous behind the wheel. But of course, I know I have to and will overcome it eventually. :P
Here’s hoping I get to update more in the coming days. Let’s all say goodbye to the summer and say hello to our wonderful schools. ;)
