Small hours.

Llittle Wonders

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these small hours still remain

Only days away before our graduation and i'm feeling kinda nostalgic 'bout what my college life has been.. a struggling four years indeed. Yes, there were moments of highs and lows but most importantly, how those years have changed me tops everything.

ehem. heto na ang litanya..

i guess our lives are not entirely measured by the biggest moments in our lives, like graduations, wedding days, making our first million, or having one's first baby.. Oh! Don’t get me wrong, I love major life events (especially graduations). These events are milestones that happen very rarely in one’s lifetime and in addition, not all are given the opportunity to experience it… so they are truly worth celebrating (true for graduations – it is the only moment when we can finally return the glory to our parents who strived really hard in order for us to graduate :)

however, in our journey towards these major life events, there befalls a time when we came across these moments that we consider 'small hours’.. laughing over a meal with family, hanging out with friends, receiving a nice pat on the back, sharing good conversation with someone you look up to, or cuddling with someone special.. it is in these moments that we are most real, most free, and ready to nurture what makes us feel all tingly inside. (yeah, this is me musing owryt) and because these moments are fleeting.. so brief.. it makes them all the more special.

in opus.

surely i've had my share of major moments… in fact, if you really know me, you know how intense i was =) .. how i pushed myself to the hilt and really toiled to be someone i can be proud of.. but in the process, these are things that we need to do because we have to. our jobs, our schoolwork, our priorities, our responsibilities.. and since we’re going to have them done anyway, why not do it right diba? i mean if you won't do it right, then don't even bother doing it at all.. hehe that's what my lolo always says.

to all the graduates of 2008..

i hope you've spent your time well and have recognized your own 'small hours'.. :)

time falls away but these small hours still remain.
