Hi read-friends! How are you? I hope you are all doing great and if not, please find a way out of your negative energy. Eat, rest or sleep. Do as you please.
Today is Sunday. People would love to say, "Happy Sunday", why do we only have Sunday as a happy day? Maybe because it is the day of the week that everyone has the chance to loosen up a bit, stretch and get ready for a new week again. So, Happy Sunday!
Today, I'm gonna share to you few of the captured good times I had with my friends. I have shared about them in my previous article. I mentioned there that we love to go swimming. Though,we were just highschoolers we managed to have a budget on our little getaways. Now, I dont know how we did that. Maybe, we faked that we have a school project, maybe we save a little from our daily allowance or maybe all of the above.
Let's start!
This photo was taken on October 2015. Almost six years ago. Kim ( wearing floral pink blouse) was about to go back to Cebu for school that day but we decided to have a quick get away at the nearby recreation center. This was at Marianne Family Center.
This was at Neguilan Mountain Resort and I can't remember when was this. Maybe we were still in our freshman years in college. There is a pool with a slide surrounded with nipa huts that served as the cottages. From our home, it took us almost two hours to reach the resort. We rode on a motorcycle. Three of my friends managed to borrow the motorcycle from their moms. Of course, they didn't know where we're going. They just thought we would just go on another roadtrip. It's always like that. We would just tell our parents we went swimming. We don't tell them before we go because they won't allow us.
On our way home! We learned that there is a newly- constructed resort near our town. So, we thought we could be the first people who could visit and swim there only to found out that there is only a kiddie pool, the pool for adult is still under construction. Lucky me, I don't know how to swim so the kiddie pool suits me well but my friends are a bit disappointed. We promised we would go back when everything is fine and fully constructed but until now we couldn't even message each other 'How are you?'. Everyone is busy.
This a year ago and the last time I got to spend real good time with my friends. The good thing about our little get away us that we are the only people in the beach at that time. Sometimes, just watching the blue sea and the waves could make you calm and feel like home. We had a little time to catch up with each other and share what we have been up to.
These past few days, I've been thinking about life in general. Why do people leave? Why do we meet people who are just temporary in our lives? Why do we become distant with some of our friends?
So, I thought of rekindling the good times I had with my friends so I could feel the old feeling, the happy-go- lucky feeling.
I hope I could spend time with my friends soon. How about you? What do you miss and hope for?
When a person is sad,
he recalls all his past sorrows.
As if one grief
is not enough for him.

Goodnight friends. Thank you for reading!
"Why do people leave? Why do we meet people who are just temporary in our lives? Why do we become distant with some of our friends?" were you able to know the answer to your questions? This got me thinking especially the last one. I guess that is how it is. Sad reality. 😔
