a so so life?

somebody asked me last night how i am. he should be wondering as it had been more than two weeks since we last saw each other.

i didn't answer his question. i asked him, instead, to guess how i am and was during my vacation. he surmised that i had a "so so" time. how utterly wrong he was! if i ask someone to guess how i am or was, it's always a hint of a blast i had! ;) it's always a hint that i have stories to tell! exciting stories! ;)

i told him i was in a rollercoaster ride for the past three weeks. yeah, you can say it's an emotional ride where there are unexpected rise and fall punctuated by alternating excitement and fear. but for me, it's more than that! this time. there are times i dread a rollercoaster ride. and there are times i ride with its surprises excitedly! and in the past three weeks, i rode a rollercoaster with much gusto. everytime i rose to some event in those three weeks, my emotions heightened preparing itself for the plunge. and my plunges were always welcomed. i dove expectedly with the screams and unexpectedly with the smiles i never knew i'd experience! yes, the last three weeks were a blast of a rollercoaster ride! there were moments that i got tired but it was expected from the exhilarating ride. but for the past three weeks, i'd always hopped on. and i will hopping on it still in the coming days. ;)

too bad, this guy never guessed it right. if he had, he would have been treated to stories only his imagination allowed him to go to! oh well, good thing there were other friends who were able to guess it, albeit not the specific details but the exhilarating feeling i had.

the last three weeks weren't so so. not ever very so so. and that goes for my life. everyday, i experience life in all its blacks and whites and grayness in between and the vibrant colors without which later become stories to tell that don't ever border on boredom. ;)

a very very wise friend once said, only boring people get bored. and i'll add to that that only boring people have a so so time! :p
