A Decade From Now

Bonjour. Or is it 'Bonsoir'? What the heck.1

Ah, well. How are you doing so far? Have you already flown to France with Gail and Carla? Or are you still stuck in same old Asia?2

I am sure you are completely different now. From what I have read in your previous journal entries, life is not going pretty well with you. Have you found a job where Math is not needed? I know that's what you're planning from the start. Don't fool me. I know you better than anyone.3

Remember your friends back in high school? Or are they turning to be 'frenemies', because, you know, that happens. You are not a kid anymore, you probably know that, too. Someone is bound to betray you, somehow, in some way.4

Speaking of betrayal, how's that good-for-nothing jerk? Oh, come on! You know who I'm talking about, so don't give me that stare. Is he still smitten with Diane? God, he is so head over heels with her, it's a wonder she's not melting with that glare of his.5

Your allergy? More importantly, your health? Please don't tell me you're smoking AND drinking. You promised me you will never, ever, right? Cut it out with all the salt and sugar, aye? And please, please stop drinking caffeine at night.6

While we're arguing about caffeine, are you still an insomniac? If you are, that's not a good sign. Hell, it's not even cool at all. I swear, I am going to throw your laptop if you still stay up all night. We both do not want that to happen, ain't I right?7

Besides France, have you gotten to travel the rest of the world yet? Wait, have you seen your sister? I know you miss her so much. Are you all together now?8

I hope you're good. Here? Well, kind of dramatic, but, hey, if I get to read this ten years from now, I suppose I've made it with a big smile.9

I love you everyday, and somebody out there does, too. Remember that.

    :))

    Why do you always criticize yourself? I know you will never drink and smoke but who knows? AND why the hell do you need to include "HIM" ? I love the last line. I'm one of those people. REMEMBER THAT.

      Oh dear. I'll smoke if Vivi dies. HA! I dunno, but he HAD been a part of my oh-so-dramatic life, so, why exclude him, aye?

      Yeah, I love the last line, too. Yep, I'll remember it every time.

    I thought this was pretty good. I found it very interesting how you lectured yourself on somethings. I found it a little interesting how you chose to mention being from Asia and not a country. I was moved by the asking about your sister too.

    Talking about I Write Naked...

    This seems quite good. The description is beautiful, and the questions are easy to understand and... This is just brilliant.
