The Sands of Tim: June 2011

" I know, I know, pogi pa rin ako, pero ok sana kung may buhok ako sa noo "

It’s been almost two months since I last posted something on my blog. Well, it seems like i haven’t been following my schedule for blog posting religiously. Sabi ko noon i’ll post, mga two to three times in a month, pero mukhang tinatamad ata ako. But here I am, thankful that finally, after being back from my last R&R a month ago, had the time to write again. Though, randomly, but still creating something out of a blank page of MS Word.

6 weeks ago, I, together with my girlfriend, Len (opo, sinagot nya ako), and my family, went to Hongkong. It was really, really fun (as in hindi maitagong kasiyahan). We went to so many places, walked gazillion of kilometres, and ate tons of noodles there. My Mom and Dad, enjoyed a lot in Disneyland , which surprised me, kasi I thought pambata lang yung park. Exie, my youngest brother and Shane, my sister, had enjoyed shopping in Hongkong’s Divisoria – the Night Market. Hindi rin pahuhuli si Madam Cyla, who enjoyed being spoken to by a lot of Hongkong citizens - in Chinese! San ka pa? I enjoyed being with my family, but of course, I enjoyed being with my girlfriend all the more. Right from the time na we met sa Dubai Airport to landing there in Hongkong, hindi ako nakatulog.. kulitan lng kami ng kulitan sa airplane.. I missed her a lot, and everytime i see her and spend time with her, I love her more and more. (Ang cheesy!). I’m having the time of my life being with her. Sabagay, yung hindi nga kami magkasama, masyado na ako naho-hook sa kanya kahit sa telepono lang, yung magkasama pa kaya kami. I remember tuloy my post before about Mam Ophelia and her poem, A Kind of Burning. If I were to write a poem like that, she’d be the subject.

The difference is we’d only be hapless lovers in this wayward world for three months. Tapos for two weeks, we’d be together again and become inseparable. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I will not be able to go anywhere but to her during that time, but I’ll always be with her (there’s a difference). That’s the sweet thing about loving someone you don’t see often. The flame gets bigger and hotter, waiting to be quenched with the actual sight of that face, that nose, that lips, and that pimples you only normally imagine pag wala sya sa tabi mo... Problema lng, pag mahal mo ang isang tao, hindi talaga mapatay patay ang apoy. Solution? Hayaan lang, basta wag na wag mong paglaruan.. (ayos ba sa linya? Hehehe)

So, ipopost ko yung mga pictures namin sa Hongkong, hoping to give you some idea, guys, on how fast my freaking HAIRLINE is receding. I know, I know, pogi pa rin ako, pero ok sana kung may buhok ako sa noo. Well, actually, I like to share how good the Lord has been to me, endowing me with blessings, a family that I love so much, a girlfriend (though not a millionaire) who gave me that feeling of hitting the lotto jackpot, and a chance to share my blessings and be an inspiration to many. Sometimes, I would think that I don’t deserve a lot of this, but then again, I’m always reminded that it is not me who laid down the paths I walked on to, but God Himself... And as his child, the only thing I need to do is to walk through, walk on, and trust in Him – be it on the bumpy side, through dark trails, or on smooth pavements of this journey we call --- (di ko na tinapos kasi gasgas na.. baka mapakanta lang ako ng Next In Line).

This is taken sa Tsim Sha Tsui, sa Avenue of the Stars. Every 8 pm they would play a musical tpos mayroong lightshow sa mga buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbor... astig.


Pero, there would be no brighter light for me but my one and only honey... Eh kung ganyan ba naman kaganda ang girlfriend mo, kahit laging brown out, ok lng!
