(Little Life Lessons with Ngoc): Episode 4 - Journey on the Road of Thanks

Dear people who understand that this isn't really an episode but read it anyway, you guys are weird people honestly, (x'D)

Let me first say this is an episode of thanks. So... It's just that. So, run away now if my thanks doesn't interest you. x'D

Warning: This entire episode may sound like advertising, but it’s really not. It’s not at all. Not to me at least. This is just to share a wonderful and almost high experience I had today. That’s all. J

And we continue…

Alors, I woke up this morning, ate breakfast, rushed my Dad faster to the bus stop, got on the bus, turned on my laptop for my daily upbeat and motivating soundtrack and apparently, my Google Hangouts tab was open. I found something absolutely wonderful that had me smiling all day. (Literally.) I had a friend. Not just any friend. A friend that, while we may not know absolutely everything about each other or share every single secret, was such a willing supporter for this mess I call a blog. Yes, she’s a she. J (Unni. Only you know who you are. X’D)

Do you know what she said?

She said that she was really happy I mentioned her in the P.S.S. section of episode 3 and that she’s been daily checking my blog for updates all the while including lots of emojis and lots of hearts (like the ones where you type in <3 and get a pink heart on Google Hangouts for those who have no idea what I just said ^_^). Not only that… SHE BOOKMOARKED MY BLOG AND READ MY BLOG AT 1 AM IN THE MORNING. *sigh* You know what happened to my heart? My real one? I think it grew like, 10 sizes in the old lady’s pants section. And perhaps more. X’D

A PERSON. A PERSON!! IS DAILY CHECKING MY BLOG/MESS FOR ANY UPDATES AND READS THEM AT THE MOST UNGODLY HOUR.

My LORD. I feel like it’s all worth it. Like, if just this one friend of mine, who is so vested into my blog and actually checks it daily, is reading this, then it's enough for me. I am full. And my purpose is fulfilled. And I shall sleep tonight with the happiest of dreams. 

And it hasn't been just Unnie. I mean, look below. 

I get support from the most surprising places. ^_^

And I absolutely love it. <3 (Especially this email.)


x'D Silverrose, if you're reading this. You are now Blogger famous. :) Thank you for your "encouraging" commentary and for all the little comments you leave like these. And alas, for being a great responder. ;) 

Haha, there's Dan too. I don't think this person is fine with my mentioning him. Alas, I still do. He made episode 2 possible through blunt encouragement. "Blog, Ngoc." Blunt is exactly what I needed in order to continue. Thanks for that. x'D

It's been a short journey of what... a week? since I made my decision of doing episodes of lessons I learned that day. And my god. This has been absolutely exhilarating. 3 episodes may not seem much, but it has definitely brightened each and every day for me. Since I'm constantly looking for material to write about, good material to write about that is, I... I'm more observant now of the good that can happen and amount in the world and how, there will always be something good to write about. What a world. What a freakishly amazing world. It's as if I've been blind my whole life and have just looked at the world through a new pair of lens. I love it. Knowing that I am no longer blind. No longer blind to the world's potential beauty. Excuse me as I jump around a bit from giddiness. (GOOD GODS, I SOUND LIKE AN ABSOLUTE HIGHISH PERSON. I'M SORRY. It's okay to avoid me entirely from now on.)

I love how random people chip in some encouragement and how just that is enough to get me going despite the exhaustion. I love it. Maybe, just maybe, this is what I'd like to do with my life. Not all of it mind you, but I can see myself 15 years from now, blogging my life away. :) 

And I now realize that no matter what you do, there will always be people that support you. And that, you're never truly alone in doing anything. Honey, you've got an invisible army behind you. Know that. And it's your choice to fight, not theirs. They'll stand there, spur you on, and add back up when you need it most, but at the end of the day, did you fight or not? Don't let your invisible army down, but most importantly, never ever ever ever ever let YOURSELF down. I don't think I stress this enough but you are the most important reason for fighting every battle. So choose your battles wisely. With that, I leave you my grasshoppers. 

*RUNS INTO BATTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*



Your most thankful girl,
Ngoc


P.S. Okay... so as for updates. Some people think this is a daily thing, but I'm afraid to say that that is not possible. :( It just so happens I was not very busy today so I was able to write a consecutive post. But it will definitely be an every two to three day thing. (Check my Google Hangouts status every so often for updates if you're in my circles. -_-) Mwah! <3 ya!
