A day with the Family

We had breakfast in Heaven n' eggs at Eastwood. Went to this village somewhere near Ateneo because my mom had to submit this report to her teacher. We waited for her for 2 hours. Went to Serendra and ate at Zao, a Vietnamese restaurant.

It was such a hot hot hot hoootttt day. I wanted to go to fully booked and buy Veronika decides to die but my mom didn't want to cross the street because it was too hot, so we just went home :|. Oh, we had a family day today since we thought that dad would leave on the 4th but nooo..he's leaving on the 22nd. Shoot! I should've went to the beach trip. Now, I'm regretting my decision. Well, if you look at the bright side at least i was able to spend time with the whole family. It was fun. :)

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
