random rumination number 7 - pedestrianover an hour ago, i chanced on my friend JC at the lift. he'll be leaving for boston later this month to pursue an MBA. unlikely for most lawyers, but not unlikely for JC. what he did confirm to me was that at least one associate in QT got over a million pesos in bonuses. lord, on the other hand, got a little ( Read more... )

Life is really about choices, making a selection and living with the outcome.

Those who have not lived life are those who have not made their choice at all. Making a choice is a risk. Paying the price for the risk rewards you with accountability and control.

Mountaineering is simplier as there is clarity in purpose. There is a single goal, to reach the peak. You hurdle each obstacle that gets into the way because you know there is only a single path.

When urban life gets complicated, think back what gifts the mountains have given you.

you are most welcome to share your thoughts on anything tochs. thanks for dropping by.

i do agree with you. but i will confess it's something that's in the background. i get to ask myself a series of "what ifs" every now and then. but yes, i've made my choices, and i don't regret (most of) them. :D

Keep your gadgets, they are already paid for. Then move out of QC and get a small SUV. The second one is important because you work south of the Pasig river. People who drive north on EDSA from Makati every night are crazy :)

Aha, so you agree with me! The truth is, you just can't live without your gadgets, and you're "relatively happy" even when you don't own a car. But as I've told you before, the sheer mobility afforded by driving one's own car is priceless, especially for such a kaladkarin traveler like yourself!

keep your gadgets and forget about the car. get a nice condo. that's more important. when i worked abroad, i didnt have a car and got around pretty well. i still use public transpo like the mrt and lrt. and cars are expensive. i just placed gas in my land rover and it cost me P3,300. and its suppose to last me a week.
