slowly, but surely.. :)

meet Torta.. shes a patient which eventually the owner just decided to give it to me..

shes so small ! isnt she?! yah, i was really amazed of her color and features very unique!! i came to stare at her , with her hard shell, and boring lifestyle, (obviously, very slow moving, not askin' for anything!)....I was wondering how come she manages to live with such a heavy shell, tiny feet, and an ugly snake-like face?harhar!Doesnt even bother to beg for food?Life for her is just like that! :)

i put Torta in a basin and placed it in my room.. and while i was cleaning the other day, i saw Torta, with its head up, as if she was tellin me somethin'..... I think she was asking me.. " ei, imee are u happy? " ..... " imee, take ur time "... "

why the hell, these two imaginary questions just popped out from my mind .... i duno.. felt like this tortoise, is a contant reminder that no matter how eager i am to experience more about life, it doesnt necessarily mean im happy... am i not happy of wher i am now? of what im doin? and who i turn to be after doin all thse things...??

But I WILL TAKE MY TIME... il take time to adjust, il take time to recover, il take time to go slowly..il take time to move on.. i will be happy...il take time to pray so He wont leave me at the middle of my struggles being alone..away from my family..with heartaches..worries..

and Torta just promised to be with me.. shel be here with me no matter what..

i thank her for reminding me that i dont need extra moves and speed to be happy.. one day at a time, slowly but surely, life will get better.. :)
