He gave me his book

"Before he left, he secretly inserted it in my bag. And as I arrived home from work, I opened my bag and surprisingly i saw the book by Paolo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello...."

I remember when we were in Dumaguete City, a year ago, we dropped by this newly opened National Bookstore. We saw the new book of Paolo Coelho entitled The Witch of Portobello. Poor guys, we couldn't buy for we were broke those days. Anyway, my friend gave me a visit here and I was really surprised when I saw him reading the book we dreamt of buying back in Dumaguete.

Now he gave me the book. As I looked at the back cover I saw his message and read:

9/27/2008

Dan,

Thank you very much for your warm welcome in your home.

After for sometime,our friendships strengthen even if were apart. i hope that this friendship, together with Jayson, will last a lifetime.

Take this as a sign of our endless search for truth, life, love, and meaning in our existence...

"celebrity friends"

Jo-I

To the one I love...

I just talked with my ex-gf. masaya ako.. For a very long time, di kmi nagkausap... Buti pa xa na alala niya na 3 years na pala since nagkahiwalay kami... I've been up to many relationships since hers, i committed sinful acts...

But honestly, my love for her still remains in me.. and now that I am ready, i will take her back... I will really take you back.. let's clear the dirt of the past and let's polish the brightness of our future.. I still love you.

My friend is coming to visit me...

My best friend from Bacolod just called me up and he'll visit me here in Davao City.

I'm so excited.. Finally we'll meet again. And we'll have lots of things to talk about...

The last time we were together was July last year back in Dumaguete. A month after he left, I also left Dumaguete for good... hehe. astig!

See you Jo-I.

Small Things Matter Most

I received a packaged from a very close friend from Cebu City. Before I left Cebu City, they were the people who really helped me a lot in pursuing my dreams in life. I'm so sorry if i wasn't able to say a word of goodbye as I left...

Going back to the package, it contained simple things that they gave as a gift for me...

The packaged had:

4 packs of Chicharon from Carcar City, Cebu

4 packs of Ampao also from Carcar City, Cebu (Both are really my faves)

2 bars of imported Dove soap, with their names embedded on the carton.

A pair of beach shorts for me.

A pair of pyjamas for me also (I'm wearing it now).

A pair of shorts for my mom since they knew her get up and style.

They also included a bottle of roll-on deodorant (which I hate to use for i love using sticks)

And finally a copy of Sunstar Super Balita with their pictures rallying against Pure foods Inc. over their parcel of land.

Oh..! I almost forgot to mention the 1/4 kilo of Bulad from Taboan.

My illness went away for a while as I was so excited and eager to open their pasalubongs... hehe.

Thank you so much girls! You really helped me realize the importance of simplicity coming from the heart -small things matter most.

In the end if I die, the world won't cease to exist...

I am really worried. Anxious as to what will happen 2 days from now. How i wish i could write all of my worries and anxieties in this blog, but I tend to keep it by myself. i decide things under my own accord. My own will and understanding. Seldom would my friends, if I have one, hear me asking some advise or counsel in my every day doings.

I keep it by myself and suddenly every one would be stunned by my decisions in life.

I believe that ones turning point in life should be made by the person himself. Not by any other entity, fate, or whatsoever. One should make it on his own. Keep it, and reveal it as if nothing happens.

In the end if I die, the world won't cease to exist...
