Change

People Change...

1. When they hurt enough that they have to
2. When they learn enough that they want to
3. When they receive enough that they are able to

Bad bad day

Everything was great so far till around 9PM. While I was walking from Guadalupe to Boni (I didn't ride the bus because it doesn't make sense and I needed the exercise) I was held up. Lost my phones but fortunately, my wallet was spared. I have a month old Sony Ericson P1 for my globe, and 2 Nokia phones for both my sun and may PLDT wireless landline. I was heading home and rather than taking the bus, I decided to walk at least it will be an exercise for me.

I had a hunch that something is wrong. I thought someone wanted to pick my pocket and hold up didn't crossed my mind. After the Guadalupe bridge, someone approached me from the back and when I turn around, they were asking me to give up my stuff. I tried fighting but they had a knife. I think I can take both of them down but my phones are not worth my life.

It was frustrating because...

1. I was supposed to meet a friend for dinner but she cancelled so I opt to go home much later... (not blaming anyone but the outcome might be different)
2. I wanted to save 9 pesos because it takes me less than 20 seconds to go from Guadalupe to Boni and I was thinking that I needed some exercise so I preferred walking than riding the bus.
3. I had a hunch and for those who know me, you know that I do have a strong instinct. The problem was that I didn't anticipated robbery... All the while I was thinking someone will pick my pocket.
4. There were security guards just around the corner. 5 more steps and they would have heard me. The traffic masked my shouting for help.
5. It frustrates me because I am a few bucks short of fixing my car... ok maybe a few thousands but still the fixing is in progress.

Another Poem

As I try to live my life as normal as I can
I am being haunted by what is inside
I kept thinking about now and then
all I wanted was just to hide

The night doesn't seem to be calm
The sun doesn't seem to be warm
I don't know where is this from
maybe I long to be in your arms

Sadness fills me with nothing but sorrows
emptiness robs me of peace of mind
How I wish a smile I can borrow
Maybe a life of a different kind

Phase 1

Several months back, I started to fix my life. So far my first phase was achieved even though it was not as I planned, but still things are manageable. Still I might be far from my ultimate plan but I'm happy to see progress along the way. Now as I am trying to take on my main plan, my little plans are being tweaked to fit my original plan...

so as of the moment, phase 1 checked... Next...
