I went home with a hallucinating mind, and had a teary encounter with a stranger. She is seated awkwardly infront of me, I can't help but notice how she cuddle her baby close to her bosom. Strangely, she is hiding something and because I wanted to see it closely, I seated next to her and saw how awful the situation was. I saw her sick baby with bandage on her face. I started to start the conversation and found out that her baby is 2 years old, she has 2 children, and the baby's left eye is accidently pricked by a bbq stick. She waited whole day at MakatiMed fervent to get a free dose of Anti-tetanus for her child, she was given a referral letter instead to a hospital in Fort Bonifacio. She has to move her baby from Makati to F Bonifacio and that's a long way. I was crying throughout the conversation while I was trying to convince her to be positive on her plight. We have to part ways so quickly coz I have to take the MRT and I shared all the cash left on my wallet that day supposedly for groceries. But I don't mind getting starved for awhile.

Huh..I was crying on my way home, glad I had my pair of specs to pretend. I feel empty for a while because I know there are more children out there who needs my help and there is so little I could do.

summer is here....

our company's monthly newsletter was just published today. since, it's summer, some of my colleagues here were asked on their best summer vacation. sayang, wala ko napangutana. hahaha!! well, if only i was asked, my answer would probably be my cagayan-camiguin experience last year for the following reasons:

* had my first horse back riding, rapelling, and zip lining experience at a very affordable price! pang commercial ang dating!

* accomodation in camiguin is free! grabee! thank you sa mga fwendships ko and their connections. :D

* basically, tour around the hot spots in Camiguin.. hot spring, cold spring, falls, sunken cemetery, and white island! if only we had time, we could have hike the Tres Marias!

* the best time to spend vacation? is to spend it with best buddies! kelan kaya next?? CABILAO by May! sana tuloy! *crossing my fingers*

well, i missed white water rafting in cagayan because of work. ~sigh.~ (kayod jud para naay pang tustos sa bisyo!) eneweys, i didn't miss much and i enjoyed the whole experience very much even if i had a stomachache and headache. hehehe. and by the way, it's in Camiguin that i first met Nemo! Can't wait to have another snorkelling experience!

got wet at Kabawasan Falls!

jumbled thoughts

i thought i could scribble everything. but no. i have thoughts that i can't express in words nor in actions. i find myself sitting silently on a corner, familiar faces looked blurry, as i slowly digest everything that i heard, questioning myself what's my idea of the story, questioning my principle and on what i believed in. for awhile, i was lost.i don't know where i stand, on what ground, and on what time. i thought i was this somebody who always know exactly what to say. but, voila, that single second also made me realize so many things about myself.

i learned..

*that i don't have to be afraid to say what hurts me, what confuses me, and what makes me mad. i have to tell what i really feel when asked on how i feel on a certain situation, an not on what i think is right to feel.

*that in every situation, there's always 2 sides on it. i maybe at the other side of the coin, but, it's also good to take a look and listen why others are at the opposite side of it.

*that sometimes, i can't convince people on what i believe and all i can do is listen on what he has to say, respect each other and let be.

*that real FRIENDS are real treasures in life. that i should value them more than how i value them now.

*that CHANGE is the only permanent thing in this world (how many times do i have to tell myself that?) and a friend of mine is a living testimony on how CHANGE made him a far more better person than what he was 3 years ago. and i have to be happy with these people who took CHANGE a positive role in their lives.

*that a good laugh with friends is sometimes the best medicine one could get.

everything that i have written does not necessarily represents everything that i feel, or think and more appropriate words could have been written to truly express my thoughts. well,i could only wish that. as of now, this is the farthest i could do.

and that short moment means a lot to me..
