A Knack for Dates

a have this knack for remembering dates.
like something would happen today
and lo, after a year or so, i'd still remember exactly what happened or
i would remind people what that certain day was.

or, i may be in the middle of workand i just suddenly pause
as there is this nagging feeling that something happened
on that certain day sometime ago
or somebody is celebrating their birthday that very day.

i also easily remember birthdays..
even birthdays of close friends back in elementary whom i havent had any contact since.

and of course, i remember special events with once-special people
although they might not be playing important roles in my life at the moment.

this makes me think yet again that once people make a significant role in your life,
they would always be remembered and memories with them would always be cherished although they dont have the same effect to you as they had once.

and on that day, when years ago, they had made an impact in your life,
you stop and wonder how they may be, where they may be.
and if things have been different what would have happened.
sometimes when you look back, there may be some regrets
but it is best to look back with acceptance and thankfulness with what one
has of the present and with happiness that you've lived through your life, living it the most that you can.

uhm, er, i think my thoughts/POV now is somewhat unorganized and"scattered".hehe..honestly i dont know where im getting at...hehe

Anyways, i just remembered that today is Manny's birthday.
I wonder where that small guy is now...hehe..(look who's talking).
