This November, some friends and I will be having a two-day trip to Coron, Palawan. Plane tickets were paid already so there’s no more turning back.
A self-confessed nature lover, I love the serenity of the sea, the coolness of the blue waters, the multi-colored “nemos” and other saltwater fishes, the scenic sunsets, the green valleys and mountains, and every other thing classified as God’s wonderful creation.
“Kakainggit ka naman. You can afford to do these things anytime you want,” said a friend. And I told him that it’s just a matter of time management and the will to go for things that you really wanted to do in this lifetime.
Sometimes in keeping our race for survival, we forget to stop and smell the flowers and bask in our respective small glories, so to speak. Working too hard is not a crime, but not rewarding ourselves once in a while is.
After all, what is our purpose ba in life? As what the taxi driver I had a nice conversation with the other day has said, “Ang importante, masaya ka sa ginagawa mo araw-araw. Kapag marami kang gusto at di mo naman nagagawa, diyan nagsisimula ang kalungkutan ng tao sa buhay.”
Oo nga, oo na. That is why next year, I think I have to take that trip na to Hongkong Disneyland. Remember that “dream list” I posted a month ago? These trips to Palawan and Disneyland are (little) dreams coming true.
It may not turn out to be something I hope for but it is definitely something I feel I much deserve.
