US Elections Addict
I am a US elections addict. Ever since the 1992 US Presidential elections, I have been following up on the US elections as in I watched debates, looked at daily polls, knew what the critics said of the candidates' tax plans, etc. I almost overlooked that 2008 is an election year! Of course, every so often I followed up on Hillary, Obama and John but it was not until two weeks ago that I have become obsessed again! And now, I am pretty happy that the Republicans voted John McCain to represent them. Why do I like him? Well, because he almost beat Bush in the last Republican primaries. :) So anyway, enough with this random post. I just LOVE politics (sometimes)!

My Box of Chocolates
I have the coolest business idea. Of course, I won't divulge the details (yet). I think I will implement this idea from my very own country, the Philippines. But I am excited about it! Yipee yey!
I have been throwing myself and some friends some business ideas since I was 21. But it's only now that I really have the bombshell! I mean, for me the idea is perfect! Something I can immediately start (once I step off the plane). Thank God for the inspiration.
The funny thing is I never would have thought of the idea if I did not get all this sickness. So like I said, life happens or as Forrest Gump's mom always said: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get." :)

Friend. Kaibigan. Ystava. Ami.
I have the insane need to blog today though I really do not know what to write about. This can only mean two things: (1) I have too many thoughts in my head that I cannot make sentences of them or (2) I have NO thoughts in my head and I cannot really make something out of nothing. At this point of the day, I would go for the second option. :) I just want to write without real intentions on why I should. :)
I guess I am writing because I realized that people do care about what is going on with my life. The overwhelming level of support that I received while sick was such a humbling experience. I could not have survived being sick in a foreign country without the consistent and overly generous support of my friends.
The only question I have now is: What have I done to deserve the love and care of so many people? To this question, the answers I will never know nor do I need to find out. I just confirmed that there are many good people out there. Those that choose to care are far more than those that choose to ignore and hurt you. I should really do my best to cultivate the friendships I have and not spend so much energy on forcing people who are not "worth it" to care for me.
It's funny that it took such a drastic event for me to truly realize this. But then again, I needed to re-learn this lesson at this point in time. Why? I don't know and again I don't really need to find out. Sometimes, there are no deeper reasons than the simple answers that already exist. :)

When the Medicines Stop
I know some of you are curious why I was in the hospital for 3 full weeks and have been on sick leave until now. Unfortunately though, until I have stopped taking my medicines, stopped being monitored by my doctors and have begun a normal lifestyle, I would rather keep it to myself.
I know this is frustrating since I know you care but some things are not meant to be blogged about. My apologies and until the next entry.

Everybody Lies
Dr. House's most used quote is that everybody lies. I believe that now. Why do we all lie? To save our butts? To avoid someone getting hurt? Why? But as someone who has been lied to recently, I can only say that once the truth comes out, getting lied to sucks. BIG TIME.

Life Happens
I am back at home for good after three full weeks in the hospital. Frankly, I feel weird. I am happy to be home and back to (almost) full health. I am sad because somehow that place has become very familiar and now this world, the real world has become strange. I am grateful for the experience yet I feel scared because an unknown future awaits me.
But if there is anything this experience has taught me, it has taught me that not everything in life can be planned. It happens as it pleases to happen and you just better be there to breathe in and accept it. It has also taught me that everything happens when it is supposed to happen, no matter how much you think it is not so.
Right now, I must admit that I feel a bit nervous, scared and worried about the future I was supposed to plan and decide on. Then again, I was not meant to plan it otherwise, I would have done it, right? I just need to allow things and the future to happen. When everything is right, life will tell me.

Live from Home!
I am temporarily back from the hospital. Tomorrow, I will find out if I can leave there for good. I will write about the things I realized within the week. For now, I need some rest and good food because I swear, hospital food sucks!
