its a whole new roller coaster ride

Well, where should i begin. hmmm, its been like 2 months now since the decision to leave SIM was confirmed and now im happily settled down into this new job that i just got a month ago. At Paper Market. And as many already know im so into the whole art stuff and creative things that i cant stop getting my hands on to, so i've finally sort of did something im in love with. Days when i go to work, i get to be in contact with all sorts of scrapbooking stuff, explain items to customers, and just being happy i could be part of such a wonderful team of staff who all share the same passion for scrapbooking (: Yap and though its tiring at times, (every job is tiring), but i enjoy working alot.
And after the long hours of work, i do my self-reflections on the long bus/ train rides and i start to be so thankful for my life. Though it isnt perfect, but its worthy of thanksgiving to the Lord. And anyway, who's life is perfect right?
And i've been rather positive about the whole going-on-to-the-next-stage-of-my-life topic and how im just keeping an open mind and trust that God will lead the way.
Just 1 and a half weeks ago, alv's cadets finally came in to OCS and that when all of his time is being sucked up with the commitments to serving the nation. it hasnt been easy coping with the whole being-a-understanding-girlfriend thing, but once again as i think about God and put Him as the focus, being understanding towards all of alv's needs seems to be as easy and light as a feather. And i feel happier myself too. Lesser tears shed, lesser reliance over his presence. And me, feeling more independent on my own.
Well i believe in life, everything is simply about your perspective and how one chooses to view a situation. Just like the cup analogy, you may look at it either that its half full, or half empty. And i choose to view it to be half full. And thats sufficient. As long as you choose to remain positive about things of this earth, a smile wont be too far away.
Time really flies so quickly and now its exactly a week til its my birthday. hmmm what should i be expecting as i hit 20? its really alittle unbelievable that im 20 already.. i guess it hasnt really dawned upon me or even digested in me yet about it. What is being 20 like? telling people that you are 17,18 or 19 is totally different from telling someone that you are ALREADY 20.. really really seriously sounds old. And it would mean having to take on the burden of even more adulthood issues and life matters and go on to think about jobs, careers, and probably, just probably marriage hahaha. hmmm its a bittersweet feeling i believe so. On a certain level, somehow im excited to approach all those stages in my life, like thinking about the kind of work i will pertain, or think about planning about the future and all sorts. Burdens that in the past, i never got to experience. but at the same, with all these burdens comes responsibility, and comes of course, money. hmm bittersweet bittersweet.
Anyways this was a random rant on my blog but its a short update about how life has been for me (:
