I just got back from visiting and supporting my sister in Manila for her exams. Before, I went there I already made plans to go to places that I haven't really been to. But as always,things don't go the way I want them to.
I wasn't able to go to the Manila Ocean Park...aaaaarrgghhh! I wanna go there.I wanna see the fishes up close,hehehe!Besides it's only a jeepney ride from where we were staying. But noooo... we went to Divisoria....aaaarrrrgghhhh!
I wanted to go to Enchanted Kingdom. In my four,five years of studying in Manila, I wasn't able to go to this place. In my on and off stay in Manila for another five years, I still wasn't able to ride the rides and see the sites in Enchanted Kingdom. I told myself now is the time. But noooo... we went to Baclaran...aaaarrrggghhhh!
The things I wanna do I wasn't able to do them but there were some unexpected activities that we did. Thanks to my friends and my flexible Mother and sister,hehehe!
Though, I wasn't able to go to Enchanted Kingdom, I was able to spend time with my friends, eating, shopping for shoes and just plain hanging out. It was fun. I really missed my friends. I miss us just sitting on a bed, watching tv, talking about anything and everything. I guess, I missed their presence. I am ever grateful for their support.
Though I wasn't able to go to Manila Ocean Park, I was able to attend a Kerygma Feast and listen to one of the talks of Bo Sanchez. It was fun and refreshing. It helped in renewing my spirituality. Made me hunger for spiritual events. It made me think of my Lingkod family. It was really nice,hehehe!
But...at least I was able to watch a 3D movie in SM Mall of Asia's IMax. It was fun, a new way of watching movies...lol!
I was kinda disappointed and frustrated that I wasn't able to do the things that I planned...but upon reflection, I actually wasn't really disappointed nor frustrated. I was actually happy. I was really happy to spend time with my friends. I was happy to spend girl time with my mother and sister. I was happy for the spiritual feast that I attended,really helpful and insightful. I guess, it wasn't about what we did but rather with whom we spent the time with that was important and truly mattered. I had a really good time and had loads of fun ,") .

That's why I don't plan and if I do, I try to be flexible because in the end, the so-called guides won't be followed. The only trip that was carefully planned was the Bora one all because Ate was there. The rest happened spontaneously. Oh! I must have forgotten. Camiguin was also kind of planned.
Yeah...but like I said what matters most is with whom you spend the time with (",
