Bungy Jumping in Thailand

Bungy jumping is one heck of a kind! it's like a suicidal jump... this is what my co-trippers called the highlight of our visit in Thailand.

The Sad & Ironic Story About Bestfriends

It all started with hi…. and hello’s…..
Followed by seeing each other everyday
Non-stop text…. talking over the phone until wee hours of the morning… and chatting online…. eating and going out together, it’s been like that for a year or two. The constant communication made us super close and inseparable (wonderful isn't it?).

Our friendship was unique and special, I have never been this closed to anybody when I was a littler, although there's also one person I considered my best friend way back high school but this one is way different and too intense. I felt like I knew her inside out being together most of the times way back college. It is those times that I appreciate the beauty of having a best friend that I’d rather choose giving up my steady relationship with someone and keep my so called best friend (that’s how important she is to me).

We shared a lot good things just like any other best friends out there, laughter, silly stupid things and stuffed. It felt so good knowing I have someone so dear so special, someone who is ready to back me up in times of trouble, someone who cared for me so much (at least for the time being), someone that made me feel worthy to be loved and most of all valued person. Those are the good memories worth keeping(that’s what I thought before).

Moving on, few more years after, a lot of things happened along the way to our friendship and I found out that she is keeping something and was revealed only recently when we both decided to talked things out for we noticed that our friendship is going through peaks and valleys that is sort of irreconcilable. I was really thinking before that our friendship will stand amidst challenges. But it seems like it's not gonna work out that way.

She told me she felt pressured having me around (ouch! insensitive of me not to notice her actions) , she needs to lie to protect her new acquaintances from me (but for the record I never did anything wrong to any of her friends in fact I befriended with them) not just that, she felt more comfortable or shall I say she is more at peace and can relate well when she’s with her new found friend name Mary and this is what I find ironic, because all those years I myself was looking for that person in her (real her) but I just cant bring that out from her but I really do believed I did grrr.. (so I guess I wasn’t the best after all). Hearing all these revelations hurts me so..soo.. badly and it cut’s me like a knife but friends, what can I do anyway, all those years our friendship was just probably nothing as in N O T H I N G full of lies and pretendings. Oh well, when I wrote this I’m already over it good luck to her next conquest.Uhmm, some good things never last (that’s what I learned), and when you lost one you’ll find one or more, anyway so that’s kind of relieving on my end.

 

Indeed, I was thankful to have her part in one chapter of my life, that was totally superb to me, thanks to that revelation, lies needs to end and no more pretendings, now this led me to find my own way to live an independent life and no longer fixated with the person I once called my best friend.

Whats wrong with VECO and MCWD?

Do you know what it felt like going through a day with out a shower? Well, i dunno what went wrong but we had this water and electricity problem yesterday and today we still don't have water. I think the entire Cebu was affected with whatever problem the VECO and MCWD had these days.

My brother Josh got a work yesterday and since we don't have water and I don't want him to absent from his work so i tried to figure out to help him bath, at first, I was thinking that maybe there's some problem in our area alone but some of my friends were asking me through sms if we got a water so there i realize that its not just one area but i think the whole Cebu City especially the urban areas.

Back to my bro, in order for me to help him, I started inquiring to some friends who lived nearby unfortunately there out of reach.My last option was our office, we took a taxi and went to our office and there he was able to take a bath and was late for work but at least he had taken a bath. Our office saves his day.

Second day of having no water and its Sunday, I wasn't able to do much of my domestic routine during weekends. But I'm thankful that it rains, you know why because I was able to save some rain waters for the kitchen and bathroom use and well guess what.... I took a bath outside my place.

Although its kinda cold, i mean the rainwater is really cold but i still managed to go out, bought something not important on a walking distance store from my place just to get wet and took a picture of some teens playing basketball along the street while raining. Some were running just practically enjoying the rain and i find it good somehow cause i used to do what the kids did in my neighborhood when I was a littler back at the province. Rain water saves the day.

Tomorrow is Monday and I'm going to work,I hope that water will be fix by tonight. grrr... or else ill absent from work of which I don't like because there are lots of things to do.

The Best Expression of Love is TIME

I have been reading a lot lately, like The Countess below the Stairs authored by Eva Ibbotson and from whirlwind romance I shifted to a spiritual self help book of which I'm currently reading the Purpose Driven Life of the famous author Mr. Rick Warren # 1 new york times bestseller. As I was leafing through the pages, I found this topic about LOVE and find it right in fact I read this again and again because I for one experienced this just recently. So here it goes...

The best use of life is love, love should be your top priority, primary objective and greatest ambition. Love is not a good part of your life but the MOST important part. Relationships must have priority in your life above everything else, why? because life without love is worthless. Relationships is not just a part of our lives along with many other task but it is what life is all about (according to god).

Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things are what matters most in life. So why do we allow our relationships to get the short end of the stick? When our schedules become overloaded, we start skimming relationally,cutting back on giving the time, energy and attention that loving relationships require. Whats most important to God is displace by what is urgent.

Busyness is a great enemy of relationships. We become preoccupied with making a living, doing our work, paying bills and accomplishing goals as if these tasks are the point in life. They are not. The point of life is learning to love god and people. Love will last forever and it leaves a lasting heritage.

The importance of things can be measured by how much time we are willing to invest in them. The more time you give to something, the more you reveal its importance and value to you. (read this closely) If you want to know a person's priorities, just look at how they use their time.

Time is our most precious gift because we only have a set amount of it.We can make more money but we cant make more time. When we give someone our time, its the same thing as giving them a portion of our life that we will never get back. Our time is our life, that is why the greatest gift we can give someone is our time.

Its not enough when we say relationships are important, we must prove it by investing time in them. Words alone are worthless. Relationships takes time effort and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E. The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves. The most desired gift of love is focused attention. Love concentrates so intently on another that we forget our self at that moment. When we give our most precious asset-our time,its the same thing as making sacrifice for we value the person and that is basically the essence of love.

We cannot give without loving, but we cannot love without giving "god so love the world and he gave..." Love means giving up- yielding our preferences, comfort, goals, security, money, energy, or time for the benefit of someone else.

When is the best time to love? " Whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone, use every chance you have for doing good, whenever you possibly can, do good to those who need it, never tell your neighbor to wait until tomorrow if you can help them now". So the answer to the question above is NOW, because we don't know how long will we have the opportunity. Circumstances change, people die, children grow up and we have no guarantee of tomorrow. If we want to express love, we'd better do it NOW.

In a nutshell, the best use of life is LOVE. The best expression of love is TIME. The best time to love is NOW.
