Starting a New Chapter in Life, as well as ending an old one...


In the last several months, there were several milestones that has ignited a start of a new chapter in my life. Occassionally, these chapters of our lives overlaps into each other, not like a typical novel where it's only one story (i think if authors try to follow the multi-faceted story telling, it will be an endless block of short stories).

"every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" - semisonic (closing time - 1998).

Basically, a lot of the things that happened started because of something that ended.

Take for example, my relationship with Stephanie ended as boyfriend-girlfriend, but we did began being fiancée. Soon, being fiancées will be over, and we will become husband and wife. It's an endless cycle, next thing we know, it won't be simply a husband and a wife, but a family, then becomes grandpa and grandma. you get the idea.

Another milestone I stepped across is the eventual termination of my school with Cerritos College. Sad to say, I felt that I was not going anywhere there, and that I felt that it was too slow--prolonging my self by dropping boring classes. So I began my travel through university of phoenix. hell, i can get this chapter over with in about a year and a half from now!

So what else? I no longer feel the fear of losing my job. I don't know why I feel that way, but I guess it has to do with all the stuff I'm doing. Yeah, yeah, I know, people asked me I need a raise, but by how much is enough?

In any case, I've never been a nut about saving up for something this huge. The wedding will probably be the biggest thing I will spend on, but yet not owe anything with it.

Speaking of, i need to find a good bed...
