There are days when you feel like packing your things up and leaving. Possibly for a short stint somewhere like the Comfort Inn New York City hotel. Or permanently in Timbuktu! Work, family, friends, and every one can be overwhelming suffocating at times. And you just want to get away from it all. Even for a short spell.

When you feel like it, and you can’t afford to go away, just close your eyes, breathe deeply, and cleanse your mind of all the clutter in it. Sleep, if you must. Turn off your phone, your computer and every little distracting thing near you. Listen to soothing music.

Calm and peace will surely envelop you in their embrace.

I am amazed how some women change parts of their body like they are just changing Ferrari parts. No, I am not against beauty enhancement. I just can’t understand why some women mutilate their body to escape something. And then they will pass it on as doing it to feel good. We are given natural beauty that we can enhance in so many ways without altering a part of it permanently. I just wish that women be more appreciative of what they were given by life.

When you chose to remain single for the rest of your life, do you have the right to be bitter about it later on? Do you blame others for your current predicament or do you accept your fate wholeheartedly?

I visited a grand-aunt last week. This is the grand-aunt with whom I spent most of my pre-teen years with. I love her dearly. She took care of me when my parents were busy with my younger siblings. I was actually pampered and was treated very well when I was at her home.

She remained single, never marrying because the person she intended to marry before was someone her parents never approved of. It was a complicated matter. She came from a very old-fashioned family and well, in the 50’s, parents rule was the law. So they never got married. The guy even remained single as well.

When I visited her last week, I detected bitterness in her voice. Oh, I’ve been noticing this before, especially when she’s in one of her moments, when she talks about the one man she loved. The bitterness appeared when she was looking at the little girl with me. She was thinking that her life would have been much more fun and happier if she had a little girl with her as well.

She doesn’t blame others for what happened to her. In fact, she doesn’t regret anything at all. She just wishes that she could have done something. Probably, made her life different than what it is now.

It made me realize that I should not let life pass me by. I have a choice of participating in life and not just watching from afar, always on the safe corner. Life should never be like that. Or else, I might end up old, somewhat lonely, a bit bitter, and full of what ifs and what could have beens.

An interesting thing happened to me a couple of days ago. I got to meet an old soul like me. We talked about so many things, mostly of the past. Music, books, school, movies… even walking dolls and Barbie dolls! I enjoyed the talk a lot! I love recalling the past from time to time and I can really get into it. You can say that I had a grand childhood, teenage years and school years. The past was great for me.

But then, the present has a lot of stuff that is so much better than what we had in the past. Like computers. Cellphones. A Rackmount lcd. Sanitary napkins! And so many things that made our lives easier compared to before.

I wish I can have more of those conversations. Hopefully.

My sister and her friends will be traveling north-bound of this country next week. It will be a treat from one of my sister’s friends, last week being her birthday. They made a promise among themselves that they will be going on three trips before their 30th birthday. And this is their first. They bought personalized water bottles to bring with them, together with a backpack full of clothes and toiletries, and a blanket. They are all set to go and are actually too excited about this trip.
