Busy in Chicago
I haven't updated in a while. But that's nothing new. I have a busy weekend and week ahead of me. Tomorrow is Vince's graduation and his family is arriving from San Francisco tonight. I am excited to see them again. It has been a year since we last got together. I know Vince is very happy, although he's playing it cool. Vince and I have plans of where we're going to take them. We're both thrilled to show them around Chicago.
It's going to be a busy weekend for Chicago also, as the Taste of Chicago is going to start tomorrow. This festival of food and music draws crowds from all over the world. And the Chicago Gay Parade will be held on Sunday, too. There are concerts and festivals going on all over the city. Summer time is really a busy time in Chicago. I guess, people want to cram in all the fun that they could have in two months.
As for me, there are so many issues I have to deal with, issues which I can't blog about yet until I finally determine what courses of action I need to take. So many decisions that have to be made. So many weighing of pros and cons. So many sleepless nights and hours spent agonizing, mulling over things that are too significant to just give one thought. Am I too indecisive? Or just cautious? I want to be happy with the choice I will make. And not be sorry in the end. So despite the busy weekend ahead, I will not rush through making this big decision. I will take my time.

i've been to chicago so many times but i never go there in time for the "taste of chicago" deal. i hear it's great!
hi shelly! we are forced to grow up one way or another. all the best to you!
hi shelly! the answers will come to you, i promise. goodluck with the decisions. be cautious but don't be afraid to take a risk.
Paz: Taste of Chicago is usually held in July or end of June. I must say that it gets pretty crowded in the city during that time, and traffic is horrible.
Tess: I think you are right, I have to trust my instinct. I sometimes ignore my instincts that I am afraid they don't come anymore. Thanks.
Tin: I sometimes wish I was still a kid who has parents to decide for her. But then again, I do have to grow up. And from past experiences, my decisions have not all been mistakes. Thank God, for my brother and sister-in-law and the rest of my family who never fail to help me and support me in my decisions. Thanks.
Pazette: I hope the answers come soon. I realized that risks are part of decision-making. Thanks.
how are things now, shelly? big decisions indeed need not be rushed. whatever it is you're dealing with here, i always say that things happen as they are meant to. i wish you well :)
Hmm...hey, what "big decision" are you talking about, shelly? Inquiring minds want to know. And how come you've never told me about all this agonizing decision-making angst that have lasted for days? I've only heard about it a few times.
thanks, len for dropping by. i must agree that "things work together for good for those who love the Lord"
Vince: You know about it.
uh-oh, now even vince is curious :) hugs to you, shelly. i pray that the whisperer with the best intentions will also have the loudest voice, y'know what i mean? :)
lamo, we're supposed to go to chicago this weekend for the holidays. i was supposed to email you about itinerary suggestions and possibly, meeting up. pero di kami tuloy :( something came up, and we had to postpone until september. hope you'll still be there to show me around the city.
enjoy the coming holiday!
Thanks, Star. I know what you mean. Yan din ang prayer ko.
I will be here till end of July. But if you do decide to go to Chicago let me know when. Vince and I plan to visit the city at least once a month on a weekend, since 3 hours drive lang naman. Eh di sasabay na lang namin ang visit namin when you get there. I am excited to meet you.
like others have said, the answers will come to you in time. take it easy.
as for the taste of chicago, i've never been to one even though i've worked on michigan ave and even though we initially planned to visit this year for the taste.
i hope you enjoyed your weekend!
it's always nice to act like a tourist guide :)
have fun!
