Follow the moon

Today I feel like following the moon.
Although I am sure its face will change minute by minute
Full round, sliver of light, sharp edge, half smile
Long rigid side of ambiguous grin

As an avid observer, I usually feel its mood
different faces, different emotions,
up the dark sky, long after our sun hides
but its warm glow keeps me safe all night

Back to city life

Ok here we go, list again:

1. Open water swimming is cool, I really have to work hard on it though
2. Buy new eye goggles
3. I like the feeling of 'in transit'
4. Mas masarap ang kalamansi muffin kesa sa banana walnut muffin. But mas masarap i-partner ang muffin sa salabat
5. Mango cheesecake is best with Americano
6. Nothing beats acoustic music that is performed in front of silent beach surf under quiet waxing moon
7. Best time to make friends and talk to strangers? When looking for joey in Station 3 ^^
8. Walking barefoot on white sand <life couldn't get better than that>

Sunday, aye!

According to James T. Kirk: 

There will always be those who mean to do us harm. To stop them, we risk awakening the same evil within ourselves. Our first instinct is to seek revenge when those we love are taken from us. But that's not who we are... When Christopher Pike first gave me his ship, he had me recite the Captain's Oath. Words I didn't appreciate at the time. But now I see them as a call for us to remember who we once were and who we must be again
Hope James Kirk is right about this one. I will start journeying again ~

Back to school everyone!

Last weekend before the scramble for enrolment!
Freshmen orientation is left and right ^^ I do want to be part of this big stuff for young adults who are experiencing their crossroads.

My thoughts focus on disaster management.
How can I work in a disaster reduction or disaster management company if in my own life I don't know how to do damage control. No wonder I got pieces of advice like awareness and just let go.

Maybe disaster management is not for me.
Oh well.

I think people who are fit to do disaster management work are those
>who work and give extra mile
>who diligently work to conquer their fears
>not afraid of transition
>compassionate beings who can see rough patches ahead but still find courage in their hearts to move on and stay committed
>who are brave enough to touch rock bottom and flexible enough to spring back to surface

These are hard qualities to sustain during these difficult times. And I am still work in progress.
I wish that someday I will be strong enough to do this.
