TRUE Friendship is no Magical Spell

Sometimes we wonder how are our friends doing miles away. Are they doing great?going through some troubles? It may sound weird if we would be sending them each a message, well might not be to others. But few of those friends in your mind now will surely feel you somehow. Worried. Quite a surprise at some times when you both send a Hello at the same time. Gladly spell out their troubles knowing  that a friend like you would wholeheartedly listen. Few are still holding it in, while you waiting worriedly for them to open up. After quite some time, your friend will get back at you and tells you "I am fine now, I'm finally over it", while others may still be on that chaotic state and haven't figured out how to tell you. Still, you keep waiting while whispering a prayer that your friend  would somehow resolve  it and step out of that trouble in one piece or get help at least. At some point, we do trust our friends. They would not be keeping something from us unless they know how to get over it soonest. Not letting us know and asking our help doesn't mean we are not trustworthy, instead let us always give our full encouragement and support to whatever they have in mind. Letting your friend feels that you would be around no matter what is already a great thing. Just know that they have their own reasons and respect for being quiet. True friendship requires a lot of trust, respect, understanding and empathy.

Trusting even in not knowing all the facts. We always trust our friends despite how people tell us not to. A friend may fail sometimes but it doesn't outnumbered those times they have trust-worthily done for us. Even if we are mad at a friend, still we trust that he or she would not be doing something to break it. See how ironic friendship does to us? It enables us to give our trust without reasons.

Respect even in not requiring it. Our friends automatically earns our respect even without asking. Just by looking at their faces, hearing their cracked voices, a pinch or a tight grip maybe we all surely know what to do next. With distance, just seeing their emotional posts in social medias, remaining quiet for a few days and not telling you about it would simply crashed your heart but still you give the respect that you think they needed the most.

Understanding even in the absence of reasons. We normally understands something we are aware of except when it is a friend. Even when most people don't understand the choices our friends made, still we openly declare that we do understand and fully support them. Your friend may at times lose track of you or you not having much time keeping in touch but still both of you understood it. But when you get the chance to talk it would always feel like night does not exist. Everything is spontaneous as it was, sometimes even better. Every actions our friends do, regardless if we have been informed or not, outcome maybe bad or good to us or to them, in the end we still choose to understand behind it.

 Empathizing even in an unwanted circumstance. Life is not always as sweet as we have in our dreams while might not be as worst as to those with others in reality. We always wanted only the best among the choices, for us and to our friends but we cannot manipulate their minds and vise versa. We would somehow made wrong choices. They would eventually made it, sometimes unknowingly. As a friend we find our selves in their shoes even at the things we hated the most. Still we choose to do it, without someone asking us to do it. Might not be a necessity to accept it but just being there helps us better understand why they did it. It made us becomes aware of the other side and teaches us how to improve our selves and doings as not to allow the other side to prevail. Eventually would lead us to greater happiness.

We all wanted to live a happy life and a trustworthy circle that even a wicked witch could not cast a spell nor a witch doctor to formulate a potion in order to have it. We are bound to create our joys, realize our dreams and strengthen our faith which would allow us to hold and share the happiness that we have. Value those people surrounding us with love and share your kindness to those who are cruel to us. Life has always a lot of surprises that some people's  best friend were picked from those bunch of people they hated and vise versa. And they are hugging them now. Hahahahaha

Fashionably Strange Morning

Just like any ordinary working day, you succumb into a lot of paper fights and mind-blowing reports. You head home with so little energy. Took a shower and prayed hard to have a different day the next morning. You have been doing all these routines  since you got employed. But hey, I woke up one day wanting to dress up differently. A total stranger. It gave me thrills and motivated me to come to work with a happy heart. Walked in the office with a joyful greetings and a very wide smile. I simply handled work beautifully all day long. Went home with excitement on what to wear the next day. Totally crazy but made me happy and productive. Why don't you try to be a stranger in a fashionable way each morning before you come to work? It might help you jump off your bed earlier than your routine. Have a fashionable working day!

My kind of Sunday

Sunday is the day I'm always looking forward to. As I woke up from my bed, I imagined how my parents rushing here and there to get the things prepared and less than half an hour they are set to go out and opened our little store at the nearest market. While my younger sister wide awake on skype with her Norweigian boyfriend. My little niece walking back and forth with her fully loaded diaper, waiting for someone to clean her up. My daughter is definitely still cuddling with her pillows while my youngest sister watching Disney Junior at a very loud volume. Then my younger sister would have no other choice but to bathe our little niece. I rose up and prepared milk for my daughter. Then, wake her up and put her into the bathroom. My youngest sister would normally insist in taking a bath together with us. So, three of us playing inside the bathroom. Later, we are rushing to get clothes because we dont want to be late for the Sunday morning mass. I really want the kids at home to make it as a habit at first, to go to Sunday mass. They will not understand it all at once but I simply want it to be a part of their Sunday life.  Even if 75% of my time at church given to taking care of them so they wont be running, playing and talking loudly. I know it is going to be worth it. I am the only one at home who has the luxury to play with the kids on sundays. I sometimes bring them to the nearest mall while at the cab they  are already ordering french fries. It made me happy. Very happy. We entered the mall and they are both pulling me to go at their favorite food chain. While eating they will keep telling stories about their activities at school, experiences with their classmates, playful moments at home and so many other kiddy things. I feel so young with them around me. That was my typical and happy sunday before I came here to Bangkok for work.

Now, as I have established my kind of Sunday. I rose up from my bed, watered my orchids. Yes, I have five of them haven't bloomed any flower yet. Tidy my bed and sweeped my floor. Doing these little things with my mind back at home. It simply give me little joys. It feels like Im home. Took my self to have  a shower and get ready for the Sunday mass. Took a cab to the BTS then alighted at Ploenchit where my church is located. After hearing the word of God, I normally go out for lunch near Asoke BTS. Head to my condo and stayed at my room crocheting or watching movies. But today, I have this feeling that I needed to be somewhere else. So here I am going out the restaurant to do some window shopping. This is my Sunday rituals. Being happy does not necessarily requires a specific location or set of people. Happiness is a choice. There is happiness even in distance and in absence. It is simply because, you are carrying those memories and special people in your heart wherever you may be. Have a happy and blessed Sunday everyone.

Where will solitude leads you?

Today is one of those days when you really itch to be somewhere. You have this urge to do something but you can't just figure it out. A day when you wanted to meet someone to share a good laugh but you can't simply called a single name.

You rolled on and off of your bed, sit at every corners of your room, get your self a drink then turn on the television but you can't be at ease. You turn off the television and tried to meditate but after a second you turn on and off the television countles times. So what you really wanna do?

Me? I am not a writer by heart but at my state now any writer could have finish an article or a book if the odds will favor them.
So i needed space, i needed to breathe unlimited air and my eyes needed to be over the horizon.

I immediately went out of my room and stayed at the park when my hand unknowingly reached my phone and started writing this.

Water keep rising and falling near the gazeebo where its flowing already a music to my ears. Birds flapping their wings in rythym. Branches gracefully swayed by the gentle wind. Mothers taking their kids for a walk. Some gents with their pets for a good run. Group of people sharing a good laugh. Happy kids rushing to climb up the pool slide and suddenly screaming with joy. Water splashed. Again and again.

Now I'm sure feeling fine and know what I am missing.
