CELEBRATION OF LIFE

Many believe that January's a good month to start off on anything. For the past 2weeks, I was a willing attendee to different celebrations. I attended christening of a godchild's (so thats already another "apo") coincided with the feast of the Sto. Nino. I remember going to the same church 20 yrs ago for that godchild's own baptismal. Such a tiny baby at 3mos. old, in pink satin and white organza dress. Babies do look like cherubims. of God. Like the Sto. Nino, the image of a young Jesus, the innocence of a and the purity of heart.

...And death.

A friend's father died of heart ailments at 83. I went to the wake on the 2nd night. My friend though sad and teary eyed, accepted her father's demise as an act of God. Death comes as the end. There was a band playing on the following night. It used to be just guitars.

A new beginning. Alpha and Omega.

I was invited in a wedding. As I was watching the exchange of vows, I can't help wondering why so many of these ceremonies, however grand, solemn would turn into nasty separations, costly annulments and divorces (paying more than the cost of the wedding). I had the best time at the foodies anyway.

Friends! How can we survive life without them? As we pass through life, we accumulated a lot of things, possessions, experiences, lessons, enemies, friends. Like picking flowers in a vast meadow, some kind were sweet, some bland, others have thorns, others were plain irritants. We can keep what we like and appreciate, discard or throw away, leave those we don't. A matter of choice. My meet ups (E reunions with high schoolmates, luncheon despedida for friends who're going abroad.

...And my birthday. I celebrated alone. Intentionally, for I was hoping to find the answers within me, browbeating myself. I made the biggest discovery ever. "One friend" said that my life is boring, that I needed some actions, adventures - in short living it up. I want something new in my life. It's a new phase I'm opening and I already have that something new, you guessed it right... that "one friend"...

Cheers to life!!!

Gracey dear,

Celebrating birthdays alone, not bad sis. You get to weigh options, think things intensely, come up with justifiable conclusions, hence, a new something for me. Whatever may come out of this, I will enjoy the ride definitely.

I am in full gear now, hope my friend's ready Thanks, big hugs to you

Tajane,

Not only smiling 'te, grinning impishly I am taking a bold step here, you know that. Like you said, life is too short for any "what if"..I don't want to delay any longer, I had too much time wasted on second thoughts.

I will definitely play this by heart, if it didn't work out right (the idea crossed my mind), charge it to experience. And live.

I'm sure you checked the "one friend" PM mo sa kin. Love you too. Take care. Big hugs.

My dear Alice,

Sweet tayo sis, we have other uses for our hands other than "upak"..Leave them to the kanto boys Right, I guess I needed that one time alone for consulting faculties and soul searching. Ay nahanap ko naman and it said, "double time"

I will enjoy another phase of life now, thats for sure. With open eyes, open mind and open heart, I wish to say "this is it" real soon.

Thanks missy, will update you. Big hugs

Ka Bert,

Broke your heart? Huh? That Dumaguete gal talaga's between us ehWe should have been "smoking" instead you're mopping about how good she is. Think she appreciate smoking cigarettes than cigars? Oh oh, second hand smoke is bad for your health. Go for the one that held your hands all night long. The one checking and texting you all night when she's not holding yours (hands - what else?)

Enwayz, thanks for being so nice. I got better ideas than smoking Thought you'll be in HK till Fri? Oh well, wherever you are, enjoy, just do take care..
