post #359
It's been quite some time since I last write an entry without really giving too much thinking into it. Ok so here we go. Hopefully this goes as smooth as I thought I'd be.
On Saturday, after lazying for the whole day (I know, I was such a pig)...in the afternoon I went to Eddy's house. His bed just came. Have I told you that this was the Eddy, my friend since kindergarten? News flash (not really new actually), he's getting married next month...in three weeks time. When I thought about it....wow...we've been friends for twenty years, went to the same kindergarten, elementary, junior high, high school...even the same university. Thank God we're not working at the same company...or worse...marrying the same woman...lolzzz
Anyway, I borrowed a suit from him. He asked me to be his best man on the wedding reception. It would be my second time being a best man. Perhaps I could make this as a side job...hahahaha...He looked kinda stressed out. I looked at him and realized....again that we're grown up now. Time to settle down, find a girl and if you want you can marry? *quoting Cat Steven's Father and Son. I had to admit there were only few who're left being single. Heck even two of my homies weren't single anymore. Some of them who already married now had become parents. Wowwwwww.....
Time...passed in a blink of an eye...
Time...never waits for anyone, it just keeps flowing...like an eternal river flow
Everything has its time, quoted from Ecclesiastes 3:11....Some of my friends had gone through the phases in their lives, children, adolescent, bachelor/bachelorette, husband/wife...now some had come to the next one....parent. Some chose to skip phase, some took a little bit (or much) longer in particular phase...but again...it's irreversible.
Then came Sunday. As usual (lately), I attended the morning mass. The sermon was good too. The pastor talked about how a prophet never appreciated at his/her hometown. About us, who tend to take for granted the things we're accustomed to have. He gave an example of a person who just bought a motorcycle. First few months the owner loved his motorcycle very much. He really took care of it. When it got a bit of dirt, he washed it. He wanted to make it always shine...but then after that...he became used to the fact that he owned the motorcycle. He started to become lazy....a little bit dirt...it's ok lahhhh....if I clean it now, tomorrow or next week it'd be dirty again...I'll just wait for next week...or the week after that to wash it (that what's the man thinking)...and as time went by...he became even lazier.
What about the persons who were baptized since born? They're used to have the faith....having it like it's just something that they normally have...not as a gift or something precious...something they need to take care....well...normally they would behave like the man in the illustration...that's when the parents should take part in....nurturing them...
Well....that's the point of the sermon I guess...didn't really remember the rest :D
After that....I went back home, went to Gadink, sipping coffee @Dante while chatting with this girl my friend introduced earlier. Then....we gathered @NAV...after...forgot how long :D
Then we went back to Dante....talked a bit about this and that....basically just catching up...One of my homies was asking for a birthday gift idea, for his gf. We ended up helping him in the birthday gift hunting...after looking around in Sogo and other jewelry...he finally found the gift....wrapped it up and we went home....mission accomplished.
Then when I arrived at home...there's a phone call. There were issues that need to be resolved...the team lead was trying to call my cell phone, but it wasn't active. *My battery was dead. So I went online....coordinated with my subordinate...resolved the issues till past midnite....Wow...that's quite exhausting....The good thing was I got to work from home the next day.
The next day...woke up...checked email...went online...no issues....stand by-ing...watching DVDs...no issue till after lunch...took a nap...woke up at around 2 PM because of a phone call , from office...oopssss....:D She called to ask about the training in which I suppose to be one of the instructor. Then there's an email.....issue...luckily it's not too difficult, just some changes. I went online, saw that this girl was also online...when I was about to buzz her, she was one step ahead. She called me and asked if I was interested to join her and my friend watching a movie. Talking about timing, huh? Well....since the issue was resolved...I said yes.
I went there....and we watched Transformers....again.....
*continued on Wednesday
After watching the movie for the 3rd time, I realized that there were some scenes that were cut...and some that weren't there before...or perhaps it's just my mind remembered incorrectly? Well...anyway it's still nice watching the movie again...I reckoned it was mostly because the companion that made it bearable....:D
Time to go home after that, I drove my friend to her home then went back...the traffic was quite awful near her home...it's no surprise since the area was popular for that :D What a lovely (extended) weekend that was. And to wrap it up, there was no more issue after that last one (yeah I checked my email in the evening just to be sure).
Time....one among few things man cannot buy, literally I mean. I cannot, no matter how much money I had, buy an additional 30 minutes of each day in my life....We all bound by the same time span....and what we do with the time we have, determine who we are, who we become.....
Jordin Sparks - This Is My Now
There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself
There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end
Baby that was then
But I am made of more than my yesterdays
[Chorus]
This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment
Cuz I look around
I can’t believe the love I see
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.
Had to decide was I gonna play it safe
Or look somewhere deep inside
and try to turn the tide
Find the strength to take that step of faith
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I have the courage like never before, yeah
I’ve settled for less but ready for more
Ready for more
[Chorus x2]
