Supposedly Just Passing By

I just decided to pass by since I watched Alice in Wonderland with dreamspinner_ last Friday and she mentioned about LJ, hehe. The last time i had an entry was October! My gosh! I've been awfully busy balancing school life, work life, family life and love life.

Work, of course, takes most percentage of the pie that is my lfie while school comes in second. Love life would have the third largest share, since it more or less overlaps with school - my boyfriend being an MBA student as well - so our 'dates' mostly are study sessions where we sit side by side in campus, typing away at our laptops with the occasional consultation or two on some analysis that we are not sure about.

Family life, unfortunately, has to come in last with almost just a day at San Juan (Saturday night until Sunday late afternoon) although I'm now texting with my mom on a daily basis to ask how her day is. This act would have probably struck me as weird a few years back but it just makes sense now - since i'm living away from home and she has cancer.

My mom is the best, most kind, most loving and the nicest person I know on this planet, my heart aches whenever I think of the pain she has to experience each day and yet she still remains strong and all she asks for is our time, our love which she unconditionally gave us when we were small.

It's a sad thought really but when I'm at Makati, I don't want to go all emo and think deeply about this lest I be useless and teary-eyed. I guess this is my way of coping - only allowing myself to feel the pain when I'm in San Juan. This mostly likely is because the reality of it is in my face and there's no where to stash away these feelings.

This should be enough crying for one day.. now back to my case analysis paper... and then zzzz
