the story
---------
it was a fun day, varying from electric shocks in our bodies, walking back in forth in the stores, trying out all the electronic gadgets in Plug-ins, waiting for charles and kevin to show up, buying popepyes and mitch wanting a biscuit, AJ overemphasizing on the gravy and being hyper in playing the games...it was amazing

we went to marina mall, originally planning to watch a movie at 12:30, then it was moved to 2, then 6 until we got to watch at 8:45. Why you ask? because we were waiting for the people who were *ehem* late...from the PLAN!!! :D

So I wen to josh's house about 11:00 PM, stayed there until 1:30 PM, we went to Marina Mall, met up with KC and AJ... me and josh talking about random stuff, AJ being the group hyper person, yeah its pretty much all about AJ being hyper and super active....stayed in Marina Mall until 4:45 PM, went to the beach and there met with Charles, Kevin, and Alain , had a swim, mitch splattered SLIMYYYY mud all over his body and face, and claims that after the beach his skin was softer, AJ swimming all around, me and mitch trying to pull AJ's shorts down, AJ ADMIRING THE BEAUTY of the girls, me making sand art. Like I planned to make a shark that ends up as a Tilapia, and an anaconda that ends up looking like a worm. We swam all around relaxing and making our past dreams a reality, of being carefree and just lying on the shore, experiencing happiness...

We stayed there and bid KC goodbye, after AJ's antics of borrowing the Towel, went to Marina Mall, bought tickets for Iron Man 2, and shared popcorns...

Iron Man 2 finished 11 PM, which was pretty late, but if we were given a choice we would still be hanging out with each other's home...there was no boisterous laughter, or senseless conversations all the time...nope there was just bonding and friendship. I went home, satisfied and happy...knowing I had these friends and I got the chance to know them.

the lesson
------
Recently people especially in our batch are sad, about graduation, leaving, and everything...I am not here to criticize about them being sad, but that's the normal reaction...sadness because people are leaving and etc, and it kinda bothers me because...God gave us friends to be Happy that we met them and not to be sad when we leave them. Of course its normal to be sad for a week or two, but remember we would still see each other, what matters the most is that you learn to accept they are leaving, and you are being separated, in order to be happy. I also realized that happiness and sadness is not merely an emotion, but a state of being. Being happy at the same time missing your friends is allowable, but being sad and happy is irreconcileable. Happiness is the most when you realize that the people you met changed your life.

I also realized, there is no such thing as SUPERIOR group of friends, or COOL group of friends. You cannot treat your group of Friends as the lasting friendship as you don't know what would happen in the future. Stop making promises to be "FOREVER" if you don't know if there is even Ever....Its nice to dream, its ok to visualize, but do not restrict yourself into new friendships and open possibilities, do not compare your friends NOW and your friends BEFORE, because you'll never be happy. Learn to Let go!

Lastly, the greatest lesson I learned during the day...

"You'll never realize that those moments are Treasured Moments until they are over"

Many would not agree as they would claim that they know a moment is to be treasured if they are feeling it currently. No, I beg to disagree...you'll never be able to realize that THAT moment is to be treasured until it is over, because you'll begin missing it, you'll begin wanting it again, and you'll realize the lessons behind it. It is because we were sooo caught up with the moment that we forget that its probably gonna be the last...May 12, 2010 is the only May 12, 2010 in our whole of lifetime, nothing can ever bring that day, that moment forever.

That's why I always say...Good or Bad

TREASURE EVERY MOMENTS....with your friends, family, loved-one, siblings, GOD :)

friendship is not about hanging out together, laughing together, having the same interests and etc...no..


Friendship is about having genuine Love for one another
