Week 10: ​List of Favorites – Websites, TV Shows/Movies, Songs and Books

Surprise!

This challenge is still so on, you know. Aaaand finally,welcome to the last week of this challenge.

In  case you’re wondering, my friend Lynai’s blog is undergoing some renovation. But don’t you worry, her new and improved blog will be up soon so for the mean time, let me share to you some of my favorite things.

Good books and notebooks,
Post-its and cute papers,
Bright-colored pens and some fancy clothes- these are a few of my favorite things.

But this challenge asks me to write down my other favorites so here we go:

Websites

  • Goodreads – Maybe out of habit, I always tend to check this website even if I no longer read that much lately.
  • Twitter – This is where I throw all my trash talk.
  • Brew Your Best Year -If you’re looking for some life inspiration, this site is for you.

TV Shows/Movies
I no longer watch TV these days so I’ll just share my favorite movies:

  • 10 Things I Hate About You – My favorite love-hate movie of all time.
  • Old Fashioned – My ideal love story movie.
  • Flipped – Because I love Bryce and Juli!

Songs

  • No Borders by Ginny Owens – I love this song because it reminds me that it is God’s will for me to enjoy and live my life to fullest.
  • One Safe Soul by Josh Wilson – 
  • Make Me a Servant

Books

  • A Little Princess – Sara Crewe is the most admirable child you’ll ever meet.
  • Black Beauty – Black Beauty is the animal version of Sara Crewe
  • Anne of Green Gables Series – Anne Shirley is the most amusing girl you’ll ever meet.

And that, my friends, is the end of this challenge. In behalf of my partner Lynai, thank you for following us in this challenge.

P.S. Please watch out for Lynai’s version of this post as her blog will be up very, very soon. ☺☺

Day 15: Narrate a conversation between you and someone in your life who you never had closure with (a friend, an ex, a family member, etc.)

Okay, Cary. Let’s do this! Time to make up some story.
But first….
BREATHE IN.
BREATHE OUT.

Meaningful conservation doesn’t need to happen  face-to-face, right? So I’m pretending that this happened through SMS (or not so short messages) exchanges.  I was waiting for the next train to arrive when I received that unexpected text from this friend. Let’s call this friend, Snoopy.

Snoopy: Hi, Cary!
Cary: Oh, hi Snoopy. What a surprise!
Snoopy: Yeah, right. Just came out from my cave, you know.
Cary: I see.,
Cary: So…how are you? Really, how are you?
Snoopy: I’m fine, Cary. Don’t worry about me. A lot of things happened for the past n years, both good and bad, but overall, life is good and thank God I’m still here. I hope you’re okay, too.
Cary: Glad to hear you’re doing good. Yes, I’m doing great.
Cary: Oh, I need to go. Can’t text much this time. I’m on my way home. Bye!

Yeah, that’s it. I’ve been thinking hard how should I write this conversation and what are the words I would say, but in vain I have struggled. And then I realize that maybe, the reason why I can’t think of anything to say is because I’m no longer interested in that “closure” thing. Call it acceptance or perhaps moving on but whatever you call it, for me, that season of  my life when I’m still friends with Snoopy was over. I’m on the new chapter of my life now and Snoopy’s role in my life is supposed to have ended in the previous chapter so as much as I want Snoopy to reappear now, we can no longer be the same kind of friends as before. I don’t know but I think I’m a different person now and my preferences have also changed so I’m not sure if I still want to rekindle that old friendship. So when this unexpected scenario/conversation happens in real life, I don’t think we can go beyond that text exchanges. ??

Day 15: Narrate a conversation between you and someone in your life who you never had closure with (a friend, an ex, a family member, etc.) What would you say? What would they say? What outcome would you hope for?

Okay, Cary. Let’s do this! Time to make up some story.
