On Moving

I can still remember that fateful day.

It was year.. crap I don't really know. But I'm pretty sure that I was in grade 1 in Marie Ernestine School Cebu at that time. Natural science class. My teacher asked her students, "What is one thing that ALL animals do?"

Naturally, kids love guessing. For about 10 minutes or so, everyone was screaming out their guesses at the top of their lungs. My teacher, I think her name was Ms. Necy, shot down every answer because they were all wrong. Haha. Then the class went quiet. I knew I'd get shot down but hell, I said it out loud anyway.

MOVE.

Ms. Necy finally had a look of approval on her face and clapped her hands a little. I was correct. Oh yeah :)) Back to the present. This post is not meant to reminisce on that proud moment I had during my early elementary days. Haha. That would just be too sad.

I heard/saw somewhere: "If you're not happy where you are, MOVE." I could not have expressed this any better myself. I don't know what it is. Was it the RH bill debate? The fact that my trip will be delayed? Or that I got stung by a bee? I really don't know. Some stuff (unexpected turn of events, etc) have been keeping me from being happy lately. So I just resorted to, well, MOVING.

If only I knew and comprehended back then the philosophical weight that that simple word carried. Crazy right? Years later, I saw the disney movie, "Meet the Robinsons". It is from here that I got my new life philosophy.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

So true, so true. Change is inevitable so we can't always just rest on our laurels and be benchwarmers for the rest of our lives. You know what? Just do it.

God, look at the time. I'm coming, bed!

On Friends in Love

Hello.

I have a lot of friends who have been in relationships for a few years now and I cannot help but feel so happy for them. Mind you, I'm not bitter. Really. I have a long way to go before heading down that road again. Haha! I'm saving all my love for me. Hahaha. Yeahh. :))

Anyway, I recently received news about two of my best friends being IAR! I'm so happy :D You know who you guys are. :">

(1) I am the cupid, the match maker behind this lovely couple. (2) The girl is my sister figure. (3) The guy is my obnoxious best friend. (4) I love them. (5) They love each other!

Yay for all :D

Tonight, I ask the infamous love question: Which is better? To fall in love with your best friend or to have a relationship and then be his/her best friend?

Wait, did I ask that right? Anyway, for me, it would have to be the latter. Falling in love with your best friend entails a LOT of complications ("My Best Friend's Wedding", enough said). It's comforting to be in a relationship with someone you know like the back of your hand but it's going to be different (not the good kind) if it doesn't work out in the end. Oh well.

To become your partner's best friend is awesome. I've been told that friendship is the foundation of a strong relationship. When the lovey-dovey fuzzy feelings from the new found courtship stage in a relationship is over, what will you have left? Friendship should always be present from the start. Not to mention, of course, loyalty and trust.

I'm no expert on this matter, just stating my opinion as always. Haha I don't know what I'm saying anymore. I'll shut up now :D
