Last night, I was with a friend at a Chowking Resto here in Cavite. I was actually going to a drug store but I thought it would be nice to invite my friend to dinner. Gutom na raw kasi siya, eh. I arrived there first then, after awhile she came na so we placed our orders. I got "goto" and regular tofu. It was raining last night and sobrang malamig so medyo appropriate naman na mainit yung order ko. She ordered king congee, "siopao" and chicharon and she also didn't forget to order our favorite "siomai." So there while having dinner, we chatted about her work and my work. Then an acquaintance came and he shared the table with us. Yun, kwentuhan ulit. While the three of us were chatting, a couple came in and went to the counter to place their order. And ako naman sobrang observant, so indulged myself looking at them. The lady was whispering something to the guy but the guy was probably lost to thinking what to eat and he was looking at the menu so parang di niya napapansin yung girlfriend niya. And you know what the lady did? She gave him a smack in the lips. Hay... It's super sweet. And the guy looked pleasantly surprised. Usually, if I see couples that are PDA (public display of affection), I almost always feel embarassed but last night I find the gesture very tender. It was really beautiful. Kumain lang ako niyan ha, nakakita na ako ng something beautiful.
I mean, what's the point of telling you this story?
I revealed to you in my very first entry that I haven't decided yet on what would be the focal point or purpose of this blog, right? I lied. Actually, I think I know what to do with it kaya lang I don't know how to start. My idea was, "to share all the beautiful things I have experienced. To take pictures of people and places and share stories that I think are heartwarming and pleasant." That's my idea kasi of beauty, eh. If something can move me? That's beautiful. But problem is, I don't know how to make it interesting at ang mas mahirap, with the daily routine that I have, mukhang it will be difficult for me to find more "beautiful subjects."
But I guess it's untrue. The story I have relayed to you today is one proof na I don't have to go to the Himalayas to find something worth a page or two. I could always look out of my window, and there makakakita ako ng "kagandahan." Probably because life, regardless of all the troubles in the world, is still beautiful kung simple lang. (Hello, Ariel Rivera ikaw ba 'yan?). I mean for instance, so long as we have our family and friends who love us, okay na yun. Di naman talaga dapat kino-complicate ang buhay with envy, selfishness, and jelousy. Dapat back to basics lang.
I must confess. Sometimes when I'm writing a post, ang intention ko is to impress other people. "Oy, magaling ako." I had to prove magaling ako. So, I would write. But everytime I do that, I end up with a blank page. Walang sense, di ba? So from now on, I will write kasi gusto ng puso ko na magsulat. I will write whenever I see something that would make me smile, laugh, cry tears of joy and feel kilig. Walang "paki."Hopefully, while I'm doing it, eh, ma-touch ko rin kayo.
