How long ago was it when all i can blog about was how sad i was? And how long since then did i begin writing how good my life turned out to be? I realized then that it's a cycle i've been on all my life, and that all i can do is to face every challenge head on and brace myself for all the consequences it brings. After all, life is but a series of downs and ups, to and from, sadness and happiness, right?

best laid plans

all is well and wisely put. for years, i have held this as a religious mantra. everything has its own rhyme and reason for existing. everything is a massive accumulation of dots painting an awesome picture about our lives. most of the time, it is difficult if not outright impossible to make sense of that which occurs around us, but sometimes, in the very few instances like now, it all assumes undeniable clarity.

today, i realized that my thesis deadline is on saturday and that there is no way i can accomplish everything that needs be done had there been classes these past two days. the amount of materials left unread vis-a-vis the number of pages left to fill is enough to harbor despair upon my mortal mind.

but lo and behold, just as i thought all hope is lost, something good manifests itself to me. the fact that i love the rain and that it is the rain which caused my classes to be suspended are enough for me to see a plan laid out before me. the rain bought me two extra days of thesis writing. and the fact that it occured on the week when i needed it the most makes me believe how wise he is that laid out that plan.

and there is no doubt about it.
