hectic yet hopeful

I've been too preoccupied with work lately, finishing six titles in time for this school year's second semester. I've been working so hard, having almost sleepless nights, and all of these for nothing at all.

Now more than ever, I feel it's time for me to move on. A change of environment would definitely do me good. Yes, I have a prospect. And until it's final, I'm leaving it all up to the Lord.

I need a complete turnaround. I found out a few weeks ago that someone's been admiring me. At least I know I'm bringing smile to someone else's face. And you know what, someone's making me smile, too. However, there's not that much of expectations this time. This is probably one of the greatest lessons I've learned so far. I've known him for three years now, and didn't even think he'll try to contact me all this time.

There are pressures all around - marriage, career, dissertation - but I'm taking things one at a time. My family and friends are to blame for all of these, hehe! In my case, I'm contented as I am. But I admit there are times when I feel I need someone by my side. I know I deserve one and the hope remains inside my heart that someday the Lord would let me have him.

For now, I'm enjoying what are given me, and I work on things I have yet to achieve. In time, I'll attain them all... and I'm certain of that.
