So many things to look forward to. So many things to dread. missing some people in my life(lola,lolo,cousins). Wish i had more time for them. BDG came back from Australia (good to have her back even if for a short duration) and she had lots of stories to share. She saw shirts in vietnam which said "same same but different". Doesn't make sense, right? But if you think about it, it does. Okay, forget for a moment that it sounds funny. Forget for a minute that it sounds like it came from a chinese stationery(e.g. Happy friends, forever love together fruits). You will realize that it applies to everything that happens in your life. Everyday you go to the same job/school, ride the same transpo to work/school, and then go home after a grueling day of tests/tasks/meetings. Sometimes you wake up earlier than usual, sometimes you're late. Other times you were up all night. Sometimes you eat shrimp for lunch. Sometimes it's sisig. You get home at different times as well. Same same but different, right? Is it kicking in now?
Those shirts spell out the universal truth... that everything is same same but different. The wisdom of our Asian brothers. Those shirts come out in variations. BDG also saw some that said "same same but better". I'm smiling by myself already while I typed that. Sounds funny,right? (or mababaw lang ako ehe) That shirt on the other hand, talks about growth. And I see that with most of the people that I'm close to. Oo na tumatanda na ako. I have the privilege to see the kids younger than me grow up to mature and responsible grownups that they're developing to right now. But when you talk to them, nothing really has changed because they're still the same wacky people when they're with you. Same same but better. Galing di ba? So many things to look forward to. so many things to dread. Same same but different XD.
That's not the end of that. Guess what Yum in Vietnamese means.
