It’s now signal no. 2 in Manila and i was on the phone with my friend George talking about how i misses what we usually do during bagyos etc where classes and work are suspended. He said those times were one of the best times of his life and to think that we were surviving with our meager salaries, he added…we don’t have to be rich to be happy.
I really like George’s attitude towards everything, so full of optimism and gratefulness.
If i have to make a list the “best times of my life”, I bet it would be a long list too…which only proves that I generally lived a happy life despite of failures and heartaches that pulled me down some time ago and the memories that once in a while visit me .
To name a few:
1. Weekends with friends-it will always be on top. Being together with my friends in foodtrips and laughters were really priceless. I have a lot of sets of friends, those from college years are my closest and those from my previous jobs, etc. Mallings, movies, dvd marathons, out of towns and long trips. I really miss going on a long trip to Baguio, Banaue, Sagada on a holyweek, also in out of town beach resorts or just even spending lazy days in DAP Tagaytay. I could never exchange them for anything.
2.Official Travels- even if its work related, its really an energy-booster to be away from the office and work on the field. My Japan trip is something that I will always cherish.
3. Celebrations. May it be birthdays, christmas or new years, promotions, anniversaries, reunions…basta kahit anong holiday a…its wonderful good to celebrate.
4. Being in love. Its damn hard to take this out. It will always be included minus the heartaches.
