Jeronimo!!!

Its raining hard right now, plus I’m sick all day too.  There’s something about rainy days that I just enjoy, one is driving, yes I know it sounds crazy but I do enjoy driving when its raining, maybe its due to the fact that it is dangerous and exciting at the same time, then another is I just sit back relax and enjoy the music. Second thing is nothing beats the cold rain when go straight to bed tuck in inside the comforter and beside me is my niece who is sound asleep right now and sip a hot chocolate/tea, then watch a movie. Third is I guess I don’t have to water the garden haha. Another  is it helps me gather my thoughts, its one thing to do so many things at once, but another is when you just want to stop, be yourself and think/reflect all the good things you have in this world.

Which brings me to my next point, currently as I write this, Discovery channel is showing this piece about the tsunami victims, and I can’t help but feel so sorry for this one guy, for just a few moments, he was enjoying his train ride along with his family, the next he proceeds to lose his wife, his son and his daughter whom he found in the arms of another man, lifeless.  All in a instant, as if losing one person is hard enough, but all of your love ones just like that? I can’t begin to imagine the pain he has gone through, I can only see through his eyes, and asking himself? "What point is there in life right now?", "How can I go on?" There’s so many things we take for granted in this world, and sometimes we just assume we need more to have a better life, to survive, to be somebody, the truth is we all have already what we need, and that is we know we are alive….

    I really really would love to go on a cruise right now, just to get to experience the thrill and the moments it all comes with, problem is I’m still contemplating If I should take this or save up my vacation for Philippines because after Boracay, I want to go to Palawan or Bohol. I have heard good things about this places and I’m sure its as good as advertised. Either or, I’ll be sure to take this trip this year.

    Dubai is another interesting place, watching national geographic channel which fully documents the on going development of the man made island and its amazing how they are able to achieve these at the middle of the ocean wow! I love watching TLC, discovery, NGC and History channel, you learn alot by watching these shows. I got tired of watching all these reality shows, its such garbage and its just the same old thng anyways.

    Here I am with some sad news again, my cousin’s premature baby died without being able to live a day, right now its hard times for the family but we will get through and we gained anothr angel. They have just given the baby it proper funeral and I can help but tear up on the very first picture, and it showed its tiny hands….rest in peace, you are in a better place.

Its been a while since I wrote something here. The holidays came, january is over, february has just slipped by and now we are here, but one thing remains, I’m still the same old Jerome hehehe. Where to start, well I have a new job which I love, but I’m still thinking of going back to school to study and be where I should have been all along the field of medicine and helping out people. Right now I have taken small steps perhaps in time I will push on with this.

On a sad note, my grandma passed away a little over two weeks ago, its a sad feeling to say the least but at the same time I’m a little relieved because she is not in pain anymore. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the pain she went through, and just the thought of it makes me all more saddened. Yet I choose to remember her, not of her last moments but her life the way I remember it. She was always full of life, always telling you what is right and wrong but most of all loved you for who you are. I will never forget the time when my grandma and I were all alone in the living room, this one moment in time, we shared such a bond. At the instance, and her current state then, she would not remember much recent events, but ask of her past and she opens up like they were yesterday. I asked her what I was like when I was a kid, what her feeling was when my grandpa asked her to marry him, how the heck she gave birth to 10 children and how much sacrifice she did to give them all a better future. I could never forget that day, we were so happy and had a connection that few would understand, even if it was just a moment.

Another memory was when we would eat dinner and all of sudden she would just fart, and we would all burst out laughing. It wasn’t intended but for good purposes haha. Sigh its really true when when they are gone thats when you realize how much you miss them. I guess I should be happy at the fact that at her last moments I made her laugh and that is what I always wanted her to do…smile one for me grandma, I miss you so much…
