What would you do if someone is trying to pull you down?
I had a really bad experience with my friend last week when we were drunk. Actually it happened so fast I didn’t even know why I reacted badly. Anyhow, we were talking about our lives how each of us are growing up and how we turned up after we graduate. And suddenly one of my friends kept on asking me how does it feel to be a bummer for like a year and etc. I felt bad because out of all people, why them or him. It’s just that they are my friends since high school and I need their support not their criticism and I hate it when I hear them pulling me down.
I responded by walking out and think. And then my friends came up and asked me what happened blah blah. I told them what he did and I just can’t believe that he’ll say something like that about me. They kept on saying that I should take it lightly and that maybe he’s just drunk. But for me its just too personal.
Anyhow, after a few minutes he talked to me and he’s sorry for what he said and that he’s just knowing. yeah right. Maybe it’s just that I over reacted and that we haven’t joked around for almost 8 months.
how about you? how would you react if someone tries to pull you down?
Balancing personal and work life
Remember those days when we were a little younger and all we’ve got to do is to have fun, fun and more fun. But what happens when all of a sudden everyone gets busy, so busy we even forget to have fun?
Life after college is somewhat confusing to everyone. We get more responsibilities and with that we even forget what fun is. But what others do not know is that we could work and at the same time have fun with our friends.
Having fun with friends , for me is a stress reliever. After working five times a day and even going beyond your time is really stressing and it will make you feel even more stressed if you will just stay home and sleep. What I’m trying to say is that, once in a while we should go out with friends and have fun.
Wei, I’m talking nonsense here. Maybe I’m just too excited because we’re gonna have fun tonight somewhere in paranaque. Tis’ gonna be fun!
p.s
Happy weekend everyone. Leave work at your office and go out and party with friends.
Goodbye and say Hello
Most of us had experienced leaving someone or being left behind by someone. We say good bye every time we go. But where is good in good bye?
The first time I had ever felt that was when I graduated Grade school. I felt something that I couldn’t even explain. The feeling of leaving your friends since first grade just sucks. Six years of childish acts, puppy loves, and everything crazy will just vanish in that way. I was scared that time. I really don’t know what is waiting for me out there.
My family moved here in the Kingdom when I was 12, an incoming freshman High School. Coming from a Catholic School in a province, transferring to a lot different school with students who came from different parts of the Philippines is just crazy. But then, as time passes by, I met a lot of friends, Friends whom I have learned to love and treat as a brother and sister.
Four years after, we were standing in our school grounds. You can see everyone with the smile on their face. But as the graduation ends, tears falls down. I can still see myself hugging everyone wishing that night would not end.
After graduation, I went back to the Philippines to study for college. Well, most of my batch mates did the same but others migrated to North America. During college, I met new friends. But four years after, we parted ways and lived our own lives.
Four months ago, I went here in Saudi. Well, as usual, I met friends. But days from now I will be saying good bye again. And I will surely miss everything here. But to be honest, I am scared. I’m afraid to face the reality that I might not see these friends I’ve found.
Now what? Where is the good in good bye?
Life is a continuous process. People come and go. I guess, what’s good in good bye is the fact that we meet new people who would somehow neutralize the sadness and whatever feelings we had when we said good bye. It’s good because we are welcoming new people who would become part of our life. It is really true that good bye is not the end; it is a beginning of something.
