When you are doing nothing, you tend to think of everything.
Everything. That includes how silly you were for sending your first communion photo to your crush way back in elementary and how you answered the recruitment officer when she asked, "How do you see yourself ten years from now?"
Tonight, while listening to the sound of raindrops on the roof, I am again amazed of how time has twisted and turned my life. After graduation, I thought I would seriously pursue a single career.

It can be frustrating at times. Thinking of all those little steps you need to take to reach your i-can-die-at-this-instant moment can be frustrating.

Do repost your favorites Kit, please :) Daghan ko nabasa imo old entries ganahan ko :)
