I was at Botolan Beach Point, Zambales last weekend together with my officemates and their families. We were 19 in all, including the children. It was a fun moment, the peace and serenity of the place was refreshing and a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis. Of course, the company of friends is something that should be cherished.
It's a four hour drive from Manila via SCTEX, the newest toll highway that was inaugurated just last year. It's also quite interesting that the resort where we stayed was the location of a movie by Piolo and Regine. I now forget the title. But the movie was good, with some funny antics of Eugene Domingo and her rather amusing welcome anthem for 'Heaven Resort.'
We had a bonfire in the evening. The heavens lit up with stars so beautiful. Looking at certain stars bring back memories of my youth. I have one particular formation that belongs to my first true love. But of course, love for me then was just an attraction. The feeling was great but I suppose it was never meant to be. That night was also a night of some revelations and realizations about how I feel towards a certain person. I may just be imagining or worse hallucinating but I'd like to think the feeling's mutual. Again, as I rationalize things as they are, it will never work out. Honestly, I'm open to the idea, but nothing serious really.
So, after quite a while life for me has been like the ebb and tide of the sea. There was a point I was in the verge of giving up but thanks to a friend, her advice game me hope yet again. She now has a boyfriend and I'm happy for her. I just hope the guy deserves her. Anyway, my boss is retiring in June as well as another officer from our area. Due to this, there will be manpower movements and at long last, I'll be transferred as OIC of another branch. I'm being positive about my promotion to manager before my 25th birthday. My fingers are crossed.

But really, there are a lot of things I have to thank God for despite the minor downsides in life. Sunsets and sunrises happen everyday. Sometimes, we even fail to notice the beauty of God's creation. Once in a while, it is good to sit back, relax and just savor the goodness of it all Life is beautiful. This is one thing I know for sure.
