Now that my last payment for the loan I borrowed from my Uncle, all I would think of buying are the things I want like dSLR and a MacBook. But I know those can wait. I can wait. I think, or at least I'll try. Lately I am also wanting an iPhone or a BlackBerry, someone should better hold my ATM and lock it up somewhere I would never find until the 12th or 19th of December or by January.
I just finished reading Mitch Albom's "Have A Little Faith." The clear message of the book for me, as of the moment, is that we all want to stay connected, feel belonged to something, like a community. May it be work.. a social network.. years of random routines with people.. just the same old thing from the past.. to know, to assure myself that I still am connected to something. I belong still somehow.
I'm away, and it makes it harder. How to stay connected? I depend on Facebook, YM and MSN, Multiply(a daily scan), and Friendster(come on, we all started there! FYI, i check it WHENEVER I can remember)... How else can I stay connected? To my home, to my bedroom... I always face the same side I used to do in my own bed. I clutter my desk just like I used to back in Pinas. To my family, short and simple conversations about money and whatnots at home. To my friends, funny and nonsense talks that never fails to put a smile on my face. To the little things that only Pinas can give me, take whatever alternative/proxy I can have, how much expensive it'll be.
Moving on to the future... I decided to step back from my wants and give in to other's needs. Mama wants to fix the house in QC... done. Papa have told me from the start his plans on our house in Pque... done. Kuya's wish on 3-5 more sets of PCs and PSP Go... done. Those little things that Mia and Pao are wishing... done. All these on the first quarter of next year. I need not to worry cause I still have 9months to get my wants and needs. When you give, you take. ;-)
And through these, I can affirm myself that I stay connected in the best way that I can. See? I am blessed. And that's how I see myself staying connected to God. Thank you Lord.
