No matter what happens girl friends are instant allies. 

Getting fat—like round-face, penguin-gait, beer belly/post-childbirth kind of fat, makes it to my top 5 greatest fear. 

Funny how fear can compel us to do things we thought we can’t or wont. 

I am on rice-free (except breakfast and…lunch on duty days!) and dinner-less diet for more than a week now. 

That may not be hard-core but I have never felt more determined to lose weight and keep in shape than now…

…because I inadvertently ate a whole bar of Toblerone in less than five minutes last week. 

I thought about the sugar messing with my blood and the deposited calories cooling off my hotness. 

I was confronted by my own mortality. God, forbid that I’ll acquire Diabetes and heart diseases (I love fried chicken skin so much I think I can give my heart to it!!!) 

I should be more mindful of what I eat and how I live. 

I’m not gonna be young forever. 

I came across this quote a few days ago here in Tumblr. I thought it’s nice and it’s worth living by. 

But then, I remembered a recent lesson: Arent’t some things and people better thrown, forgotten and replaced? The effort you put in restoring something and/or someone incontrovertibly hopeless is wasted and should be used instead in moving on and acquiring new ones.    

I think the only question is who judges hopelessness on things and people? 

“Never throw out anyone.” That’s strong.

To throw means to consciously hurl. 

But I think We don’t really throw people out. Maybe we just really move on to a place they can’t come to anymore. 

Thoughts ?  

But you know…there are 25 more letters in the alphabet. 

And I am awesome! 

My college friends came over here all the way from Manila to finally have our much awaited first ever summer escapade. We went to Tinago Falls, Spring Pool and the famous Higatangan Shifting Sand Bar (yes, it literally shifts!). 

It was fun but now that it’s over the “bitin” feeling stays which is…sad. I wish we had more time. There are a lot of falls to explore. How I wish we were able to go trekking and mountain climbing to see those other falls. I also think about the things we could still have done to add more experience to the trip. Like, woe! We forgot to take picture at the shifting sand! Why, Oh. Holy Mother of Regrets! 

Anyway…

Kung di ba naman adik eh! 

I was still trying to recover from muscle sores the morning after our  last escapade when Kristine called to inform us about the promo plane ticket to Zamboanga for October. 

A lot of things can still happen between now and October. But who cares? But we booked ourselves right away. 

And just like that our next adventure awaits. 

I thank God for keeping us safe all throughout the alleged “Buwis-Buhay-Tiis-Ganda-Walang-Sagipan” experience. I thank Him most specially for  the for the gift of friends, nature and adventure. I  And I am so glad that although this Biliran-Tacloban is over, it seems that this is just a start for us of more adventures to come. 

At the famous sandbar.
