confession of a convert

Kung kelan tumanda, dun pa nalulong! Kung maka-“lulong” naman, kala mo kung anong droga… this is more addicting than droga. I have branched out (branched out talaga?) to KPOP idols, korean variety shows and even GIF clips of there KOREAN personalities, On top of being a Jadine Convert.

“The biggest change in my life is that… I have learned how to be relaxed”, says Victoria . That line hit me. Victoria and I are of the same age. While she is a celebrity, a foreigner at that, I can very well relate to how she’s running her life. She mentioned, she plays well by herself. She uses her free time to rest and when she gets bored, she’d go to places, discover new restaurants, and have coffee in various cafes… ALONE, at that. While reading, I evaluated myself. And it brought me to a conclusion: I have been very obsessed about having company. At one point, I think I have forgotten to enjoy my solace. I have been very used to going out with company that it feels weird to be alone when in fact; I used to be all ALONE from way back. Well, some might view me anti-social, a plain snob or even a pitiful sight, but back then, I never cared. I was happy. I was contented with my life.
