Monday Blues

I wish I have a less sensitive heart so I won't think much about hurting other people's feelings and hurting mine as well.
But does having a less sensitive heart would also mean being less compassionate?
I wish I have a less sensitive but still compassionate heart.
I hope that's not too much to ask.

ONE

Have you found the ONE? The one thing that you love? The one thing that makes you happy?

Have you found the one that completes you?

I've found mine! Hope you find yours.

7th Heaven

"Where would you go when the world won't treat you right? The answer is home - that's the one place you can find." - from the theme song of 7th Heaven
I haven't watched 7th Heaven for the longest time already and last Holy Thursday and Good Friday I was glued to the tv enjoying the marathon. During my high school days my Mom would encourage us to watch 7th Heaven (yes, my mother is cool coz she likes syndicated tv series!) because its family oriented. I remembered it was aired on local tv every Friday night and we get to watch it before praying the rosary. Last week I was watching the 11th season already. Gosh! I think I am old already because the twins have grown and so as Ruthie (used to be the youngest Camden before the twins were born).
The best thing about watching 7th Heaven during the Holy Week was that I was watching it at home - as in our home in our hometown. It has been 6 long years and this time I have my little Lance tagging along with me (Hubby was missing in action - holidays are not free days when you work for an airline company). The last time they saw me I was 95 lbs and so I was expecting shocked neighbors and friends. And they did not frustrate me. Hahaha
After 6 years a lot has changed in my hometown. For one we changed our address. My parents moved out of the old house to a new one away from the not so busy poblacion. Most of my friends are married already and have their own kids while the others are still trying to have some.
Some things also stayed the same. The roads are still not in good condition. The paper company who used to employ 90% of the population is still not paying their employees on time - as in x months delay. So sad but true. I just hope something good would happen to our town after the 2010 elections. *fingers crossed*
But without thinking about the not so good things life there is perfect for me. Its laid back. You get fresh air, fresh seafoods. You don't need lots of money to survive. You get to see the best sunset and sunrise with the Pacific in your horizon. Basically it has the things I miss in my urban life - my family, my best friends, my peace of mind, my refuge.
