Can you control your anger? Do you find it easy?

One of the things that I’ve been struggling to control is my temper. History has proven that I often do stupid things when I get into a fit of rage, really stupid things. But stupid, by my own definition, does not mean physically beating someone up. I have sworn never do that, unless of course if I do it in self defense.

Instead, this stupid jerk often focuses his anger on other things, like inanimate objects. I’ve lost count of how many personal mobile phones I’ve smashed and walls I’ve bashed. A few years ago, I once vented my ire on an unsuspecting laptop and sent it to notebook heaven. And I have most especially lost track of how many times I’ve regretfully and shamefully come to realize my stupidity, and most importantly, my weakness.

Going back to my previous post on Chinese Astrology. I am a fire dragon personified. Which leads me to re-think of ways on how to handle my temper. My fuse is long, but it’s the “dragon fire” at the end that worries me.

I don’t know how long it’ll take me to finally master my temper, but I do pray that it will be sometime soon. I know that I’ve made some improvements over the years, but I feel that it’s about time to take it to the finish line. And I am confident that with Conne’s love, understanding and support, and with God’s blessings, I can someday put this to rest.

I love you Conne, and I’m sorry.

It was Conne’s birthday yesterday, December 8th. And we were able to give out a surprise party for her, whose full name by the way, was based on an important Catholic dogma and event coinciding with her birthday, the Feast of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, hence the name, Maryconne.

I’ve been a recipient of some surprise birthday parties in the past thanks largely in part to her. And to finally be able to return the favor to the one I love was indeed very important and special to me. I’d like to thank her ComQuaL buddies and colleagues for making it possible. Thanks Kim, Aileen, Maan, Ester, and Allan. :)

The food was great, and the conversation topics were very entertaining. Eating was a struggle because I was trying to stifle bouts of laughter every now and then largely due to the funny anecdotes given by everyone, particularly on the topic of namesakes, or how a person’s name got to be.

Ah, Oh well. Had Conne not been born, I wouldn’t have had someone to express my heartfelt thanks to for coming into my life, for giving me a chance and changing my outlook for the better. I wouldn’t have someone to grow old and share my life with.

Her two handsome boys (me and CJ of course – Hah!), owe her a lot.

We love you mahal! Happy Birthday!
