Just arrived..

 “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”(O. Wilde)

             Every time I get the chance to travel, thanks to the promo seats offered by different carriers, I always ended up hurrying things up so I can buy all the things I need from Manila like cosmetics, bags I saw in the internet, clothes I’d die to have, and restaurants I would love to visit and try their food. I ended up stressed and so tired when I get home.

In fact, most people don’t live, but they survive each day, for they are too busy, too tired, too stressed and too worried to really enjoy the pleasures of life.

            But this time was different, I arrived at noon at our apartment somewhere in Ermita and decided to chat with my aunts, I even helped her with the wrapping of gifts. I sat for a while and just fixed my things and asked myself where I want to go and what to buy. I ended up in SM Manila which is just a 15 minute ride from our place. I headed straight to my fave Korean cosmetic shops, etude house and tony moly to get what I NEED ♥ and to claim my membership card too;-) sweet ♪ I roamed the mall for a while and sat down in one of the benches near the department store entrance. 

I took my time and just observed what was happening around me, a feast to my eyes and my mind. In front and next to where I am seated are two lovely teenager couples that where taking a break from a long day in school and just getting a breather in the mall. Still further to my left were couples not talking to each other and the girl was sulking, literally on where she is seated. UNBELIEVABLY happening right before my eyes…life... I never get to usually stop and do this but it’s an eye opener. It opened my eyes that other people live… They go out with their lovers, cry and be mad if they’re upset, wait for someone who would be so happy to talk to you, and to just sit there and enjoy the view♥ .. not like me who is so in a hurry and afraid that I might not have time to do all I want to enjoy my stay, which is ironically happening already and everytime I rush things up. I DON'T GET TO ENJOY IT BECAUSE I WAS SO INTO ACHIEVING MY GOALS I forget the journey .. buy this, go there, do this.. I thought I am already here... take your time and just enjoy it every moment of your stay;-) I can come naman anytime.. 


My friend arrived and we had a blast. We stopped over at a restaurant and had a great laugh and chat about what happened to us for during the last few months, more of a catching up with each other. We had a walk (in the dirty and polluted air of Metro Manila ;-S) and decided that we can’t get enough food so dropped by a pizza house and just ate the night away.

I went home with a full tummy and with a big heart… most people exist, that’s all… but it’s never too late to live your life;-) you can start today and make it a habit… as they say the goal and the path to your goal is one, focus on your goals and pay full attention to the journey you take to achieve your goal… Just live♥
