Home

Sometimes, it is just so hard to get up in the morning. Why even get out of bed? Everything I love is at home today, yet I have to go to work.

I dream of the days in the future, when there is nought to do but sit, and hang out with my wife. Just tending to our humble home. Just enjoying each other's company as time goes idly by.

Sadly, that appears to be far far off in the distance. And we must trudge on and on and on.

In this busy life. In this tiresome times.

Heaven is so close, but unreachable?

But I've got promises to keep

And miles to go before I sleep

And miles to go before I sleep" Robert Frost (Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening)

On Weddings, Relationships, and friends

So yesterday was Tintin's wedding to Jon.

It was a very beautiful event, more so with what they are going through.

To carry on despite everything circumstance throws at you is not only admirable and brave, but its fu**ing badass!

So to the newlyweds, congratulations, and my best wishes and prayers for you both.

Anyway, during the wedding, I got to meet the Friday Group again. Many of them at least. Wala man si mommy Rose et al.

Got to chat though.

We never meet anymore.

Some of us are still with lexmark.

Most of us are still in Cebu.

But it's hard to find time to meet.

And that is very sad.

But though the bonds may fade,

they will not be broken...

at least not if I can help it.

que sera sera

At least we have the memories.

Same with college friends.

But anyway, of all of us there, only one was single.

Which is mildly interesting.

We have all grown up.

From hang outs and trips, 

to weddings and children.

Also, Jon and Tin have travelled a lot.

Its so cute that their tables were named after the places they have been to together.

I love to travel!

Sadly, circumstances always get in the way.

I'd still love to go,

someday.

But no matter what,

I have my wife

and as long as I am with her,

we are travelers together.

No matter where it goes,

no matter what befalls us,

we travel together.

And that is enough for me.

Politics

So will politics be the downfall of us all?

I understand that in everything that we do, to be able to live our lives silently, privately, we have to bow down to so many social norms.

We have to listen to people twice and understand carefully what they said and the context that they say it. The same statement, with different inflections, could mean insanely different things.

A statement can be a joke, or an accusation, or perhaps a suggestion. It all depends on the context.

And the call of politics, you have to appear to, or perhaps actually, be good to most of your base. You have to listen to their voice, and apply context to it. Not doing so could lead to your downfall, or perhaps just defeat.

But in any case, let's not jump into conclusions.

And I hope politics will not tear us apart.

PS. This all do not make sense, just random ramblings from my very cluttered mind.
