Fleeting
Sunday, August 17, 2008
I realized I've spent less time blogging these days because I tend to spend more time with the people around me.
Which is a good thing, I suppose. I spent the entire weekend bonding with my mom's side of the family, meeting up with cousins and all, and I realized how little time is spent getting to know them or renewing bonds that have been left to thin for the past 10 years. I met my favourite little cousin Andrew and boy how much he has grown from that fair little toddler I loved to play with to that tall dark and handsome seventeen-year-old I could hardly recognize. We have this annual family reunion thing that started rolling since last year where everyone flies in from everywhere and all over the globe just to meet up and bond for that one weekend, and this is the second though I wished they could've started it much sooner than wait till now when all the kids are all grown up (ok maybe not all).
So yeah, it was a really short weekend and it felt so fast I could hardly catch up (huh what? what just happened?), but I had fun and it was awesome. I'm really craving for some hot piping doughnuts and some fresh coffee right now (real coffee that is, not the crappy nescafe ones they have in the office canteen!). Which reminds me, I think I would actually miss this place in a couple of weeks' time and till then I gotta treasure my final moments and cherish the memories.
I guess it really does apply to me: you don't know what you've got till it's gone. And it's even in a song.
Sometimes I think I should cut down even more on time spent on blogging so I could get more sleep, and with more sleep I could do more things in one day. Yep, that would be a good idea indeed.
