Commitment

I always thought of myself as a 'commitment loving' person. Meaning, once I find someone or something I care about, I stick even through difficult times. Like post-it :) ... Thus, I had a weird time understanding how some people flake out easily once things get a little serious.

But, then again, I started questioning myself when I realized that it's been 2 months and I haven't been back to doing yoga. I start some things and in the middle of it, I just fall out. Hhmm. It's odd coz in other aspects, I seem to hang on even when I should just let go.

I guess I do have a problem with commitment. Not the act of committing itself, but to who or what I spend my time, energy and emotions on. I used to commit to the wrong things and the wrong people.

I'm starting to change all that :)

The Great Repression

I have been watching this Korean soap called "Kim Sam Soon". Jeng introduced me to this genre with "Full House" as my intial piece. At first, I did have reservations because of the subtitles. Imagine 16 episodes of having to read. Hehe.

When I started watching, though, I realized that it wasn't that bad. One, gotta admit that the Korean dudes have a certain cuteness to them. Two, unlike the Filipino telenovelas where it has been a year and the darn diary containing all the"secrets" has not been found yet, Korean soap plots thicken almost instantly. Thus, before I know it, I am hooked and popping in the next episode.

On episode 6 of Kim Sam Soon, there's this one line which made me laugh and made me think:

"A cup of coffee is 5 kilocalories, which is equivalent to 5 minutes of kissing".

I have been drinking a lot of coffee lately... but, unfortunately, I haven't been putting the calories into good use. It's been a while. Hahaha.

Hmmm. Someday (hopefully) soon.

Ballet Flats

Cinderella had her glass slippers. I, on the other hand, have hope of finding the perfect bronze ballet flats... that which fits perfect and that which I can call my own. No other kind will do.

The wait has been a bit long and a bit tiring...but as I have been told by family and friends who have walked this path, it will be worth it :)

As I wait, I write...As I walk barefoot, I write.

This is my journey.
