Marie Osmond’s son committed suicide. He was only 18 years old. He’s been battling depression for years and felt like he had no friends and cannot connect with anybody. It was really sad to read about it. So many people had committed suicide over the years due to depression. They felt like they had no one to talk to, no one to listen to them.

I have maintained my stand on suicide. It is never an option. There is always a solution to whatever problem you are facing. There’s always someone somewhere ready to listen to you, ready to talk about things with you.

I read somewhere that a journal is the best way to express one’s feelings, good or bad. If you feel like you can’t trust anybody with your emotions, you don’t have anybody to talk to or listen to you, nobody cares about you, go get a journal! Write down your innermost thoughts. Write down everything you can’t tell another person because either no one cares enough to hear about it or you just don’t trust anybody about it. After writing it down, trust me, you can feel a lightening of the burden you are carrying within you.

Today is the last day of February for this year. How time flies! Before you know it, Lent is done and we’re all preparing to buy mothers day gifts already. One more month and the first quarter of 2010 is over.

I am ticking off my list of goals for this year and so far, only one is done. I still have a long list to accomplish. Double time, work harder! There’s still so much to do.

I was amused to see the custom mugs given to each other by my friend and her boyfriend. It was cheesy! I guess when you are in love, you do the cheesiest things. Ha! Ha!

I remember another friend had a shirt custom made with words “I’m sorry please forgive me” written in bold letters at the front and back of it. When her girlfriend saw it, their lover’s quarrel ended then and there. Worked like magic! I wish this does not happen to me!

I have a fervent wish to win the lottery. Hit the jackpot! There was a recent draw done locally and the prize money amounted to Php 200M+! Yes, it was that big. That money could have been mine…

No, the money is not for me. Some of it probably but it will mostly go to my family. My grandma’s medical bills. I want her thoroughly checked by specialists. The jackpot money will also go to my dad and my siblings. I want equal share for everyone. Some of it will go to older relatives for their health funds.

I am not being noble or anything. I just want a comfortable life for those that I love. I want to see them strong and healthy and happy. That’s enough for me to be happy as well.
