It is only now that I realized that after 11 months of blogging, I am just 20 entries short before making it to 200. Hahaha!
I can't believe how September just came flying by. It seemed like only yesterday, I was looking forward to my retreat by end of August...now it's actually the last day of September and it felt as if I wasn't able to do as much of the things I wanted to do this month.
Yesterday, I went to Starbucks Vito Cruz. My laptop at hand, my handouts properly placed in my filing folder, I was ready to go and finish my papers for the week. Surprisingly, there weren't too many people in Starbucks around that time and I was able to sit at my usual table. So for 3 hours straight, I was reading articles and writing down notes and typing in Microsoft Word. After three hours, my head was practically spinning from the information overload.
After hours of sitting around, drinking coffee (yes, I'm still on my two-digit budget limit), it felt like I should take a break. So I decided to read a book a certain someone (you know who you are) was recommending to me. According to him, I will be able to relate to the story. The book was called "The Thorn Birds" by Colleen McCullough. It was a great story, to say the least. Honestly, I seldom read novels like these but hey...I don't regret reading this one. I couldn't even put the book down. I found myself flipping through the pages until I realized that I am 15 pages away from finishing the whole book.
Let me end this entry with a memorable quote in the book...
"The day that I first saw you at the Gilly station, you smiled at me, then you said my name. Then you touched me... And since that day, I have somehow known, though I never saw you again, that my last thought this side of the grave would be of you... And there's nothing I can do to change it. Do you know how terrifying it is, that power you have over me?"
