beach-ing with my girls

Trippin’ over: Sandcastles by Adam Jensen and ToWonder

So this is actually an old post. This gig happened last month (I think??!!).

I rarely see these girls anymore. As much as I want to spend time with them, conflict between our schedules and some matters prevented me from seeing them as much as I want to. These girls were my first real friends at work. They are not only my co-workers, but my buddies through thick and thin. They were there when I no longer know who to trust, they stood beside me during the difficult times; they showed me what true friendship means. Recently, we planned a beach getaway. Although the place was not new for us, it did not hinder us from making new memories. Despite those times when we weren’t able to see each other, I realized that true friends overlook the missed dates, the forgotten events; but will always be there to keep my friend on the ground.

 

road trip!

 

I really like the road trip we had. The getaway was actually simple, no frills, and no extravagance. We were familiar with the place, we went first to the palengke to buy the things we need and we actually cooked our meals (well, actually they did, I was responsible for washing the dishes). I realized that even the simplest task, like walking in the shore late at night without drowning myself with alcohol; is actually fun when you get to enjoy the company you have. Sometimes I tend to get easily distracted with mundane things but this trip made me realized that sometimes I have to stop and take a breath. Sometimes I have to prioritize the real important stuff in my life. That sometimes, embarking with life’s journey is lonesome and I have to be with those who appreciate me. I will always be grateful for the friendship I had with these girls, and I wish for more trips with them. I can’t wait for our next getaway!

i terribly miss you papa 😦

 

 

even though it’s been quite awhile since you passed away, i still feel that you are always with us. papa thank you for everything. i may not had a chance to tell you in person how much i love you and how grateful i am for all your sacrifices, i wish you know. i wish i had a chance to tell you, and to show you. but then, not everyone has a second chance. i know you are happy in heaven, i know you are always looking out for us. thank you. papa even though you are strict, even if we may not see things eye-to-eye on things, i want you to know that i understand you now. it took me so long to finally understand you, but i do; and i am very grateful for having you as my papa.

everyone at facebook greets their dads, i don’t have my papa to greet with. i can’t even shout out to the world how proud i am to have you as my papa. today, as every father in the world celebrates this day, i feel alone. papa i love you so much. i miss you and thank you for everything 🙂
