Ah dammit... this isn't working. It's been another month since the last update.... and quite honestly I'm losing interesting in keeping this journal. Quite frankly, there's nothing left to talk about. At least, nothing I've already talked to other people about. I guess this page was merely an outlet when I was in school, when I barely had anyone left to talk to given the fact that most of my closest friends were on internship. Now things are different as summer is here and I'm back home.... and I've grown closer with people over time and through events like World Youth Day. Life could be pretty funny sometimes...

World Youth Day.... what could I say? It was a great event in its own right, but of course, it's Toronto... the city I've live in for 18 years now. So it was a different feeling from say Rome and Paris when I went in 2000 and 1997 respectively. At least there were new sights to see and a different culture to experience. At least I'm sure that pilgrims from around the world must have felt that way when they came here. Some probably have never been to North America before... well, I feel happy for them. North America is seen as a continent of dreams and a bright future. Heh, if only they knew..... (sarcasm). Ah well...

I suppose that people who read this is VERY curious as to what has happened with my love life.. given that supposedly my question should have been answered by now..... hahaha ok..... well, to put it lightly... it's done. What do I mean I'm done? It means...... it worked out. I'm now officially out of the single life again! This time, it's really different. Everything I've hoped for and wanted has come true...... and I'm not exaggerating! This girl is DIFFERENT!!! Now I know why I fell in love with her 5 years ago............ I knew from the start that she is a unique girl, and I was right. She still is.... even though we're so far apart from each other, both of us are willing to do whatever it takes to keep this relationship going.... it's going to be hard (both on our patience and our wallets =P) but I'm willing to take the chance. I said that I didn't want this to work out if it was going to be all for nothing, so I firmly believe that I'm set for the rest of my life..... a bit early to say so don't you think? But this is definitely someone I will risk everything for. I am not giving this one up for anything!

September is almost here, which means I will be finished my current job and will be in the market looking for another one. Also school will have started again for most people. I think I'm going to put this journal on hiatus for the time being. I really don't think that I can keep this updated often enough to justify its existence... so this will be the last entry for now. I will update again, but no guarantees as of when. Perhaps someday, when I need to vent and have no one to vent to..... perhaps someday..... until then, best wishes to all of you. See you out there.......
