Have you had something which you treasure and take care of… but because it’s always there you tend to “take it for granted” sometimes. You think that it’ll always be there anyway so need to worry that you might lose it some day.
Then that fateful day comes… you’re going about your regular stuff when you suddenly noticed that it’s missing! That thing that was once a part of you is now gone… you try to calm yourself… but panic sets in. You begin to feel its absence… like life won’t be the same without it. You try to search everywhere only to get frustrated. You actually don’t know how can something that you’ve once held so close to you can get lost… missing… out of sight… zip… nada… gone! Other people try to calm you by sympathizing with your loss… but they really can’t do anything about it! They can only do so much…
So you try to cope with the loss… offering a silent prayer to God that you find that thing again… and…
So you did! Thank God you did… you had an inkling that you’ll find it there… and true enough. There it is!
Right under your keyboard in the office!
So you promise yourself that you won’t take it away again ever!
=====================================================================
okay so this not something dramatic. it really happened yesterday… i thought i’ve lost my ring forever! if you haven’t seen it… it’s a silver ring with musical notes… and kuya Jeg bought in Baguio for me… well he didn’t buy it as a gift… i gave him money to buy it. Though it didn’t even fit in my ring finger where it’s supposed to be… i wore it on my pinkie. And it will stay there…
i was about to throw temper tantrums yesterday when I found out my ring was gone. I forgot that i took it off while in the office… so i searched all over at home and even traced back my events so I can remember whether I really took it off or not. I was trying to remember if I took it off in the office… I only calmed down when I felt like maybe I did leave it in the office. So when I got here this morning… I did look under my keyboard and found it there. whew! It’s a special ring because I’ve wanted to have that kind of ring ever since I was still in COP. Besides I really got used to it being there in my finger… it really felt weird yesterday when I didn’t feel it there…
So the moral of the story… lagyan ng super glue yung singsing para di na matanggal ever. Nah… it made me think actually… I realized that there are people whom I’ve taken for granted because I thought that they’ll always be there for me… you won’t notice their absence at first but when it finally dawns on you… it will sort of drive you crazy. Especially when they left a mark in your heart… just like the ring on my finger… you know that something was once there… You’re lucky enough if you find them again… just like when I found my ring. But sometimes they’ll just be gone. And if ever you found it again… maybe somebody else owns it already… or things aren’t the same as before… This is getting dramatic already. But it’s a good realization I guess.
So what do I do? Superglue it is…
