Clay Pots & Wooden Spoons

Something happened a few days ago that told me it was time to let it go. Tons of blinking exit signs flashed in my mind and I finally accepted that it was time. I’ve been holding on to something that never existed and its time I finally accept that it was not meant to be. Somehow that brought closure more than any words can. It wasn’t mine and never will be. Time to go out and find what lies ahead for me.

Most houses here don’t have fireplaces because we are in a tropical region. The only houses I’ve seen that usually have one are in Baguio and Tagaytay where the weather can get cold. Maybe when I get a chance to own a resthouse in Baguio or Tagaytay, I’ll get one of those Amish fireplaces just to be different. I’d love to cozy up on a thick warm blanket and read a book while some soft music plays. That would definitely ease my stress.

I received a weird text message the other day. It said I was invited to an insurance company’s orientation event. I didn’t get any email about it though so I told them that they might have messaged the wrong person. I haven’t asked for any online term life insurance quotes yet so I think they did get the wrong person. Though I would definitely check it out in the future when I have a stable income.

Unexpected things happen. We heard that the mother of my aunt died and soon after our old neighbor died. Some people think everything ends in death, though here in our country debt doesn’t. Plus there’s the funeral cost families have to look money for. Death is expensive, no wonder we have so many funeral parlors around. They make a killing out of it, no pun intended. If I had strong guts, I’d invest in the funeral business.

I enjoy shopping for tiles. Its relaxing especially when you see all those beautiful patterns and colors. My mom and I usually do it when we have some free time. We visit local tile shops and check out what they have and when something interests us, we try and save up to get the quantity we need for our project. We don’t have much local tile stores that have online shops already so we can’t buy them that way. Even if we did, we’d still visit the shops to check out the textures first to be sure they fit our needs.
