Our Papo's Day

Image
Normally, we don't celebrate Father's Day. Because on a "normal sit", our Papo is onboard some ship in the other parts of the world. Yesterday, he's home! Sadly, my three brothers aren't. So I'm the only child he has for the day. Him and mom went out early to catch the 2nd Sunday Mass, but me and Labsy went out earlier to participate in the iRun for Rizal fun run in celebration of the National Hero's Day. Well, Labsy ran, while me walked around to catch a photo moment of the runners as they strive while having fun with friends toward the finish line... Labsy, will be very work-busy during the day, so my intentions of going to the beach won't be possible. Instead, after the run, we met up with Mamo and Papo and went to the market to relived the tsokolate and puto-maya breakfast moments. I miss the taste every now and then, so it was perfect after my walk. ;) After the breakfast, while Mamo and Papo went to buy something, me and Labsy sneaked u...

Come Again to "Camiguin"

Image
On our way to Camiguin One of the near tourist destinations from Davao City is the Camiguin Island. I have been attempting to visit the place for quite a very long time now, unfortunately, time and company were in question. But alas! Last May 19-22, I, together with bro Nots, Helen and Labsy, got  that chance of a lifetime, and did not miss it for all we care! :)) Our Camiguin escapade was finally realized. I prepared a 5-itinerary for bro to choose from. Plan A was a Camiguin-Cagayan adventure, Plan B was Camiguin-Iligan-Cagayan, Plan C was Camiguin-Iligan, Plan D was Camiguin only and Plan E was Siargao-Camiguin getaway. Out of 5, bro chose Plan D, he said, it's the only Plan that is not in a hurry. Well, he wanted more of a vacation, not a sight seeing adventure he said. Okay then, fine with the rest of us. White Island take-off point We planned to leave Davao City on May 18 at 10:00 PM, unfortunately, not all of us were prepared enough and Labsy wasn't feeling...

Why NOT take thy life?

Image
Everyone gets into the most undesirable position in life. It's relative, yes, but it's also true. We sometimes end up saying, "it's better to die than to live" or "I am better dead than suffer" or "I'd rather die than see them happy". But hey, why would we want to take our life? Because we're not happy? Will we be if we would? Some would say, we won't, but we won't suffer with the pain either. Some would say, taking one's life would make the people we left suffer and that's important. But do we have any idea how indispensable are we?  That when we take our life, the rest of the world, will still move on. Oh, yes, they will mourn for our death, they will say the nicest words we can think of, in eulogy or during the wake. That we are a lost to them. And yes, they will come visit our grave every year for the first five years maybe, but after that, everyone will move on. They won't even mention you in any conversation....
