Sometimes, things don't go as planned
February 3, 2022
I was thinking about what happened to our trip to Matalom. To think of the company doesn't want to go in Canigao but a particular barangay of the province which notorious of so many export seafood there. We want to buy one of those especially shrimps and squid. I really love this sort of seafood. As we go there we saw a small sanctuary and a river we have noticed a lot of people saying that there were so many crabs over there and the company was curious. We still go to the seafood area where various kinds of it are displayed. When we were there we are shocked by the prices of that seafood more or less the smallest price was 430 pesos for 1 kilo. We bring 350 pesos only and it is insufficient to buy one of those so we went back home and make another option. Good thing that one of our neighbourhood has a huge fishnet. It can occupy 300 meters wide appropriate when putting that fishnet so-called "Sabang" I don't know what is your nomenclature about that but here in our province, it is called Sabang. It takes almost three hours before we can fully pull the whole net into the seashore. We rent first pumpboat cause we will drop those nets more or less 50 meters away from the seashore. It cannot be manually drop those fishnet cause the boundary where we can drop is about 10 feet so it's impossible to do, that's why we rent pump boat so we will not consume a lot of time. To tell the story short we finished dropping that fishnet and gradually pulled the role until we reach the fish pocket where all of our getters are accumulated there. When we saw our getters the company seems not to be happy and satisfied cause we only caught five small fishes and rest are garbage.
It's around 2:00 am (dawn) The company decide to just went home and sleep but I remember and tell them why we don't just consume the remaining time. I tell them to go in Matalom and try to find crabs in the sanctuary. The company decided to went there and we are so happy that time cause we saw crabs there, so-called "Alimango" and they are really huge. Aside from crabs we have caught also lobster or so called "Manla" and lastly nonsaltwater fishes like tilapia. We are so happy that time albeit we haven't adequate sleep. We spent almost one hour there and fortunately our time were not wasted cause we bring a lot of seafood. That was our first time visiting other province just to seek for seafood and also one of our unplanned travel.
Lesson learned
Sometimes the flow of our plans doesn't mean what we are expected to happen. I know it was my experience sharing this but there are those incidents that happen especially when you and your company plan to hang out on the beach but suddenly it did not happen cause of some dilemmas. Sometimes we do things like unplanned which typically happens when our companion makes a decision on the spot where everybody agrees with the decision made. I don't know if you agree with me cause unplanned things typically do happen just like when I and my company decided on the spot to go to another place and unexpectedly happen we are being surprised cause gathered a lot of seafood there.
We are still knowing why are some outside forces break our plan like we are being irritated because of that. Probably planned things give us unsatisfactory results. I'm not saying all planned things are bad, sometimes being ready for our plan is good. It doesn't matter if our plans don't go with the flow cause the most important thing is that it came up with the same results. It's just like a different solution but the same answer. We are not going to get those things that are not meant to us. We don't force things to happen we just wait for a perfect time and hoping that it makes us satisfied. I'm talking this aspect in general cause we might have various plans in our lives such as plans about married, carriers, profession we obtained, family plan and others. We are making plans in our lives just do what you can do and always trust the process cause nothing happens for no reason there should be reason behind that cause God knows what's best on your plans.
Maybe God has a better plan for you. Maybe he is saving you from something you do not know yet. Time will come and everything will fall in to right places.
