Drinking Buddies



Officially, wala kaming picture na sama-sama pero wala pa rin kaming picture na kinunan na hindi namin kaharap ang San Mig Light...

300

Spartans, ready your breakfast and eat hearty. For tonight, we dine in hell!

Wala lang. This is just so everyone knows that I've already watched 300. Hehe! Nice movie! Setting aside the flesh galore and all that gore, I think it does have its merits against other epic movies. Hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit...bakit...Bakit anggaganda ng katawan ng 300 warriors ni King Leonidas??? At bukod pa doon, angguguwapo nila! Tsk, tsk! Feeling ko tuloy for a while, gusto kong magpaka-bading for them! Hay!!! And in contrast naman sa army ni King Xerxes (na super panget at mga nubita pa) clearly they are no match for them. I'm just wondering if the Xerxes mentioned in the movie is the same Xerxes who was mentioned in the Bible who became the husband of Queen Esther who apparently saved the Jews from annihilation...Hmn, why bother ba? It's just a movie and for that, I should be giving the lessons I learned from it:

  1. Never fight a native in their own territory because they know the terrain and the lay of the land and you might end up making a fool of yourself.
  2. Do not let your enemy pick the field of battle unless you are prepared for war. Remember "home court advantage".
  3. The age old adage "never underestimate your enemy" still applies today as it was before.

Talking about another topic, a friend and an officemate had said this, over a drinking session yesterday...

Having an affair with someone doesn't necessarily mean that you had sex with
the person or you've become intimate with them. If you know that someone likes
you and you've somehow reciprocated their feelings, then you've had an affair
with that person. It could be a word, a stare, a touch, or a gesture. It doesn't
matter how fleeting the moment was, what matters is that you've given a moment
of your time for that person. Having a relationship or having an affair is just
a title. And titles do not matter.

Napaisip tuloy ako dun...

Sometimes They Come Back

There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remains
Although I'll never ever lose affection
Of lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I love them all...

Whenever someone related or close to me passes away, I can't help but be a little nostalgic about certain things in the past. Being an emotional and sentimental person that I am, I can't possibly avoid these feeling of reminiscing the past particularly when I come back at certain place or hear a certain song. There are certain songs that I could relate to and it still triggers memories of people who've become a part of my life. And although I know that these songs weren't composed or sung by me, I still dedicate some of it (in whole or in part) to those people.

In life, I learned that there may be some people who've become a part of your past from long ago but there will come a time that you will meet them again. Depending on what kind of separation you had with that person, will determine what will be your reaction when you see them again. I'm not a perfect person. And although I've been hurt by people, I admit that I have also hurt someone or some people from my past. If given the chance, I still want to see them again so I could apologize for the way I treated them. As for those who have hurt me, I wish them well and hope that if we meet again, it will be in a better circumstance than from the way we've separated.

Life is continuous process. There is no such person who gets stuck up in a moment. No matter how happy you are or how badly you got hurt, you have to move on. Everything in life is so fleeting that whatever you have right now may not be with you the next moment. I've read somewhere that when a person gets hurt, he will need a time or period to grieve before the soul could go on to the next phase. In grieving, it still depends on the person when he decides to himself to stop grieving and move on. So no matter how short or how long the grieving period depends entirely to you. I think it is the same with happiness...it depends on you how long you could make it last.

My favorite cousin's advice: "go on and cry. give yourself a week. yes, it will hurt for now but after that move on. when everything's in the past, you will reminisce that day and you will only laugh about it thinking how stupid you looked crying like a fool over a silly matter which isn't worth a tear for..." I hope I could say the same to you, cuz. Just be strong and know that no matter what happens, I'll be here.

Passing Thoughts...

How time flies! Only yesterday I was dweedling my thumbs thru the sound of Christmas songs and now it is the month of March already...month of graduation, sad goodbyes and new beginnings! It's actually, my third month with APAC already and we are preparing to transfer to Cubao in the middle of this month. Of course, everyone's excited since it will be our official home and lots of us are already scouting for gimmick places around Cubao.

As for me, I haven't got enough time to think about myself lately. I'm more focused with my work and I am still a passive smoker (although most of my officemates are convincing me to smoke) and still a passive admirer. I have come to terms with some emotional difficulties as of late but none of it is so distracting that it could affect my work. Still aiming and hoping for the best for myself, of course.

Would you rather be told the truth that could potentially destroy your life and change everything you know, or a lie that would save you from the truth? Before, I always say "What you don't know won't hurt you"...As time goes by, I realized how important it is to tell the truth to people and be honest with them no matter how painful it would be for them. It would be more unfair for the person if you go on fooling them by continuously telling them a lie than to tell them the painful truth. Yes, it might hurt them but at least, you would leave them with their dignity intact than to fool them with lies.
