Couple days before my big day...
How am I feeling today?
Well today, I am kinda feeling better...esp since I just got a birthday present from my Dad and mom. They just got me a crock pot which specialize in cooking beef or chiken stew... I am not quite sure the Indo term for that... but its one of delicious foods the Americans have ever invented (dont even know if it was from here)
Well anyway, some of you might get confuse with these 'mom and dad' terms. The people whom I meant, were my ex-host parents when I was an exchange student here 3 years ago.
They're not my real parents, however, you'll be surprised if I told you about all of the things that they have done to me. (Sometimes I think that God is just too nice to me)
You know? I could got back here and study in Arcadia, because of them (going to school in the States was not even my lists since it's really freaking expensive). They're like the people whom I turn to when I get stuck here... just like my MAMA and Papa do for me when I am home.
I would say that I am really blessed to have 2 sets of parents... my REAL parents and my American parents, each of them have played IMPORTANT roles in my life... and because of each of them... I can be the person who and where I am now.
Thank you GOD for that.
Oh, You know whats make me happy too today? well, I got my paycheck (that made my day to know that I can finally pay my phone bill)...
its one of the thing about being away from home, where you earn your money and in the end, have to pay your own stuff... (I love paying my own stuffs!)
You know, there is one thing that I really really wanna pay by myself at this moment ?! my college tuition....
I know, my parents pay for me (and I am so thankful for that)... but I know... it is not easy for mama and papa (you see now how parents will always try their best for their kids goodness). Mama and PAPA really do struggle for me... and I think it is really selfish of me if I cant do anything to help out to pay my own education... therefore I do anything here to at least... not making their tasks harder, like working here.
I love earning money... and in fact, I love working.
You're kiddin' me? i got the best jobs in the world:
desk receptionist in the library. This might sound boring to some of you... however you got to come to the library in my school to know why my job is one of the most wanted job. You got to know many people (esp cute guys...lol, you wont believe how many cuties like to stay in the library to study!), got free fotocopy (although I am not quite sure if we're allowed to do that), got to know the latest books (i love reading), and etc.
as a student assistant in Enrollment Management... basically filing, mailing and other administration things... really kewl!
and also I got to be a columnist in the newspaper back home, where I can share my story here to people every week (you see now how writting is my stress reliever)-- well wanna give a shout out to my BOSS, om daktur, YOU'RE AWESOME!!
People asked me if I ever got tired? (you definitely have to see my friend who works like 24 hours... I really do admire her). But the answer for that question is NO. because to be honest, thats one of the things that keeps me going here.
Might be weird but my school works could only be done when I am busy... because I know I wont have much times to work on it....
From working I understand how hard, working is... and I totally have many respects for you who have worked and pay your own stuffs...
From earning my own money... I got satisfaction that I could pay my own stuffs... and wont make me feel bad to my parents if I shop with my own money you know...
From those I have learned that I can not always get what I want.
I do not think that I was not spoiled when I was a kid, but my parents always try to get anything that their kids want, even the most impossible ones!
It used to frustate me when I couldnt have what I want...
However, being away from my parents... made me realize how I was such a little bratt (although sometimes I still am)... but, I appreciate more what they have done for me ( and only GOD knows how GREAT they are to me)... and surely, I understand that sometimes I just cant have what I want... and trust me... it is never a bad thing to not getting what you want... because after all... what you want is not always the best thing for you...
