it would've been a perfect sunday if not for that piece of information that got me shocked and hurt. other than that, it was a good sunday –
:: met my sister, albeit quick. :: a relaxing massage for my sore body after a whole day of pool diving exercises last saturday. :: talking with someone and keeping in touch with people who truly understand. :: endless conversation over fried chicken, soft ice cream, and egg tarts. :: love songs that make you want to sing along. :: shooting stars, pig figurine for luck, and pleasant surprises. :: and a free motorazr V6 maxx from globe!
i'm looking forward to the possibilities of the week ahead.
as we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down, probably will. you will have your heart broken more than once and it's harder every time. you'll break hearts, too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
you'll fight with your best friend. you'll blame a new love for things an old love did. you'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
so take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every second you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

many things have happened and are happening in my crazy life. but i don't blog them all. there are stories i keep –
because not everyone could understand. because some things are better left unsaid. because sometimes, holding back is a sign of grace.
there are stories i keep in the secret pages of my leather-bound journals and someday, i might string into a binding of a bestseller. *dreaming*
gawd, i look weird in my wetsuit. whoever invented this thing did not think about fashion. then again, what would you need fashion for when you are underwater and in possible danger of having your limbs bitten off by great sharks. in full diving gear, i look like ET's loyal soldier. or bald britney's clueless twin sister (ok, maybe, this is too ambitious).
i haven't even started my lessons yet, but my summer calendar is already full with diving appointments. D, in particular, is so excited to show me cebu's beautiful diving sites. i am also going to ticao with chelo's cousin karla, and her friend leah. i can't wait to, as edeena puts it: break my heart with the waves, glide with the fishes, breathe pure air, be enveloped by silence.
i know that the deep blue will be another place of solitude for me.
the pre-dive meeting today fueled my enthusiasm and interest. the presentation seem more interesting than the amour cake i ordered at bizu (i'm sure though, that it was yum). my mind kept on imagining the deep blue. i can't wait to start diving. my friends and i are looking forward to exploring this world not many people go to. how exciting it would be to be able to breathe under water.
tomorrow, we will be shopping for diving gears. i would like to buy some of my gears at dutyfree, i'm just waiting for the dutyfree diplomatic family day (which happens every month). until then, i will have to buy what i can tomorrow.
lectures and exams will happen within the week. and we will have our first dive on weekend. and then batangas next. in april, we will be flipping our fins in malapascua (i got na my plane tickets). i would like to dive in bohol (maybe, in may), and palawan, and other dive sites in the country. and someday, who knows, i will be taking pictures and flipping my fins at the great barrier reef.
i've always dreamed about going there since i was 8 when i saw a picture of australia. i'm inching my way towards that goal.
