past, present, future

i upgraded my yahoo mail and now i'm using the newer version. now it's so much easier to navigate. finally i was able to delete the 600 unread emails without clicking the next page button to get the succeeding 25 emails. it's like using an outlook that could easily arrange the email by sender, subject, date, etc. i know it's been there for a long time now but i only found out just last week. read: complete tech idiot.

i cleared my inbox before i left for hk. when i arrived here i wanted to start anew, basically read new stuff from people in a different perspective. it's nice to be unaffected by their qualms yet still get excited with the new things going on in their lives. i think that's one of the advantages when you're away. when you're in pinas you get too attached with your family's and friends' problems. even your neighbors' or the neighbors' dog's or even the starlet's that you see on the boobtube. when you only have to fend for yourself, you may not have anybody to depend on but at least you learn to stand up on your feet. you are responsible for your own action and no matter the outcome, you know that there's no better way to do than following what you think is right.

homesickness is a pain but it's actually more peaceful here.

it's funny reading may inbox from july 06 til now. you could see the evolution of my relationship with people. i read ex #1's emails about our supposed illicit set-up. then i saw ex #2's sorry letter which never affected me at all.. then the indian guy's jerky emails. then mine and b's purely friends moments.

i know i sound like a broken record here, but i now believe that things happen for a reason. imagine if i gave in to ex #1's unfair set-up, or if i'm still bitter at ex #2's happy life and worst if i still give in to the jerky indian! i wouldn't have met b and enjoy life now.

i know the future is uncertain, but im sure that when i read my inbox in two more years, there will be lots of interesting stories to look back to.
