On Puzzles

Since I could not engage in physical activities for x number of weeks I turned to brain activity. I got this 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle. Positive thinking, at least my motor skills and hand-eye coordination are put to the test. In addition, it helps keep my mind active and alert.

I believed it is serving its purpose because instead of sulking that I cannot do two things that I love I am preoccupied at putting the right pieces at the right places. Hopefully this jigsaw puzzle is not the only thing that I could complete. I wish in the future I could fix my life and put things in the right perspective so that I could honestly say I am really complete.

On The Unexpected

My phone was inside the left front pocket of my jeans. While I was walking it vibrated. I ignored it because I thought it was a text message. However, it vibrated again and again. Thus, I fished it out from my pocket and the unexpected happened when I saw the caller id. I held my breath as my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, the ghost made his presence felt. Once again he brought chills to my spine aka kilig.

Indeed the best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations.

On Rain

It has been continuously raining the whole day. I do love the rain. When I was a kid I used to make those paper boats and place them on the flowing water and watch them drift away. Baha na pala! Lol.

The the waterfall (para magka-grass man lang ang fields) and the cool breeze that the rain brings is appreciated. As long as it is not too much to cause floods. Since floods cause traffic which then results to a 1.5 hour travel time from work. :|

Life is just like the weather. One minute it's so sunny and cheery, then it will be rainy and gloomy.

On Titles

I just got off from the phone with an co-worker/friend who has been assigned onsite for the longest time. After our "how are you's?" this conversation happened:

Her: Uy, parang masaya ka ahh. May boyfriend ka na noh?
Me: *silence*
Her: Di nga, sino?
Me: You do not need to be in a relationship to be happy.
Her: Oo nga, actually naisip ko din yan na pwede naman maging masaya... pero di nga, may boyfriend ka na noh!!!
Me: Single and in a relationship are just titles. Your heart determines your true relationship status.
Her: Hahahaha, so ano na?
Me: Alam mo... good relationships dont just happen, they take time, patience and two people who truly want to be together.
Her: So sino?
Me: Ano ba 'tong mga friends ko, bat puro tungkol sa relationships ang pinopost nila sa wall nila.
Her: Sira! Akala ko naman sinasagot mo yung mga tanong ko!!!

On the Perfect Catch

You had your opportunity but you were not courageous enough to take the chance. The moments we spent with each other and whatever transpired or not is between us alone. Those were certainly good and exciting times. Those memories which I have placed in a tiny box and stored in a shelf deep in my heart. Somewhere down there only to be dig up when needed.

Now as you are about to journey to another chapter of your life, if I may ask... if you cannot forget the one that got away, can you love the One you are with?

Just do your jealous fiance a favor and don't go fishing after me cause I know I am still the perfect catch.
