Paradise chilin...

Pictures taken on our island hoping trip to Doong and Mambacayao, islands to remember.

The trip took about a total of 6 hours from the main city. about 4 hours bus ride and about 2 hours boat ride, true, its very energy consuming, considering the gears we brought: skim board,snorkeling gear,camping gear, and all that stuff... but the juice was worth the squeeze..we had fun, saw beautiful scenery, great people and everything was worth it!!!

and i would like to thank "San Isidro Parish/Parishoners" Doong, Island, the fiesta (talk about fresh seafood,yummy) was great, hope we can come back again next year and also to the people of Mambacayao Island for the wondeful accomodation and hospitability given to us.

i also would like to thank the people i had a drinking session with, manong, manang and the rest of the compnay, i was'nt able to get your names but thank you for your kindness and info on pumpboats, even though the beer is'nt cold, its the time shared that counts.

God Bless you all!!!

thoughts

have you ever tried riding on a bus for 3 long hours? that's how far I have to travel just to be at my hometown, Bogo. But I'm not complaining about the long hours spent sitting on a bus, truth is I kinda like the idea of traveling. Asking why?
it's because when I'm traveling, specially if I'm alone it seems that thoughts would start rushing through my mind... Like the ones I had when I went back home...But I've forgotten it completely. It was such a shame that I didn't jot it down. Anyways...

the first time I went back to Bogo last May, after a year or so of no communication from my relatives there, it was then I found out that my favourite aunt, Tita Charmel as I fondly call her, is getting married. The idea that she is getting married didn't bother me at first. It was when I get to talk to her in person, that was November of this year, that the realisation hit me! She is really getting married..And it's not just a family joke!

my Tita charmel, at 33 is finally tying the knot with a family friend. When I went home to my apartment after we chatted that day, I ran straight to my room and cried all night..No I didn't cry because I wanna get marry too...hehehe it's the feeling of not wanting to share someone I love so dearly to someone else..Yes, I am stupid and selfish, but she was single for such a long time and she hasn't introduce us to any boyfriend of hers, if there was any. And tita is somebody I look up to all these years..I basically grew up spending more time with her than my mom. And she became more like my friend, my confidante than just my tita..She has influenced me a lot in so many things and we both share the passion for writing.. I love her damn much that I would never want her to love someone else but me.. I want her all to myself...

but I know that she's got her life to live. And that sooner or later I might get married too...And that in this life we should set things and people free. And so I'm setting her free and wishing her lots of love to her family. My congratulations to her and her husband Ulysses..They got married last December 17,2005.

I know that even if she is married she'd still love me the way she always do.

sigh...

been busy these past few days..preparing for my aunt's wedding..all the hassles.., i just moved out to a new apartment or i dont know what should i call it apartment or house, whatever...looking for a new job, helping my friend watch his baby boy and yesterday we went out looking for a 2nd hand computer for a friend of mine.

after this i think i need a vacation.
