Lost in emotion
I am making the most of my summer by trying to get away from my usual life as much as possible.
From my so-called friends, from the heat, from the chaotic noise, from the screaming "Me" that says I still need not to think about my life in future tense for a while. It stresses me.
So I'll start it out with a journey going back home.
To eat homecooked meals, to check on my dog Cola who is now 7 months old and more idle time just slacking around.
Perhaps the highlight of the mini-adventure would be me attending a barrio fiesta on my mom's olace somewhere in Legazpi City. We will spend maybe 1 or 2 nights there with our relatives from my mother's side.
The last time I went there was in summer of 1998 I think and I can't wait to go back and see if there are some progress in this side of Region 5. Maybe they have at least refrigerators now, or the restrooms outside their houses will feel more safe and secure, or if the houses there don't serve the same dishes anymore. Okay, maybe I'll set my expectations low again.
After that, will be our trip to Coron, Palawan, partly subsidized by the company. I'm excited to ride superferry, to hit the beach, to snorkel and to buy ref magnets. I have a growing collection of ref magnets from different places now. Check out my ref.
Then maybe after all this, I will come back to the office rejuvenated, pumped up to go through my mundane tasks and go on selective socializing as what I choose to do. Some people are too engrossed with their own personal pursuits and I understand that. I will just be there when some friends need my services. But if I'm taken for granted, I also have to look out for my own personal welfare. So I have to be away. Especially when I'm PMS-ing like this.
Perhaps, what makes me smile in this journey is that I know, I'm not totally alone.
Que sera, que sera.
