Time For Myself

Holy Thursday. I am writing this post somewhere in the Philippines. Somewhere far away from the busy city. Somewhere where I can be with myself and with no other else.( besides the trees the beach and the glorious kindness of mother nature). I am glad to find this lovely place and I immediately booked a reservation. Although I was not really feeling well last night, I still managed to come here all alone. It is a solo escapade.(yeeehaa!)

 I needed time for myself. I needed time to refresh. For the past few weeks, I was too bothered thinking for other people and forgetting the “me”. I was too preoccupied on my job(s). I realized  that I need to take a break. Free myself from business even just for a while. Anywei, so far I am doing good. I just arrived early this morning though. Thank God my hotel got a wireless connection. I still am able to “plurk”..hehe.

 I sure will have some fun in here. I cant wait to walk by the shore later. I wont let anyone know where I am exactly. The Philippines still has a lot of hidden paradise.

Why Fight If You Are Sure You Ain’t Gonna Win?

This is a very tricky question asked by somebody [that I know].

  Well..I believe that “fighting” begets the idea of hoping. You fight because you hope you’ll gonna win. Regardless whether you know and you are certain that you’ll gonna lose. Makes sense?Fighting is all about positivism…if you say you’ll gonna lose the fight..then that is not fighting anymore. O boi.
