We have an insatiable thirst to experience the world firsthand.
We derive intense satisfaction in challenging difficult,
insecure and uncomfortable environments.
We take the time to observe and absorb, because we are not racing.
We are not competing with anyone but ourselves.
Our encounters with vastly different environments, lifestyles,
and beliefs profoundly expand our interest and awareness of the world.
Witnessing meager standards of living forever changes our perception
of the western preoccupation with striving for material wealth.
When we return home, we feel delighted at regaining the little
pleasures that have been denied to us in faraway lands.
We have frequent flashbacks of our expeditions and take
pleasure in telling others our experiences.
We become tolerant of petty annoyances or discomforts
and become patient in our projects.
But the ceasing of discovery and strong sensations precipitate
in us a long emotional slump.
Sensations we once held to be exciting become less so.
Is it worth it? Like they say, "It's better to have loved (traveled)
and lost (come home) than never to have loved at all."
Once we have eaten from the tree of knowledge,
we cannot go back to ignorance.
While on expeditions, our attention is intensely focused
and nothing else matters, but back home it is difficult to
concentrate on what we are doing.
Our successes strongly reinforce our self-esteem.
We can do anything, but we find we don't really want to do anything but explore.
We dream of more adventures, and when preoccupation turns to obsession,
we are bound to realize them.
We are fascinated with the stories of other explorers and
we plan our expeditions to avoid their misfortunes.
Are we escaping from something or have we been unfortunate with normal life?
The true weight of these factors lies hidden from us.
What do we search for? We don't really know, until we find it.
Ultimately, we explore to find ourselves.
Our passion for adventure continues...

Got this from a friend. For inspiration daw. Na-inspire ka ba? Ako, Oo. Ewan ko sa'yo. Which reminds me, I wanna do some drawing and writing. After all, tomorrow's a holiday. Oooeey, some well-deserved sleep. Nakakapagod mag-isip. My website is a due a week from now and all I have finished are the databases. Real work starts the day after tomorrow. This time I will really work. I've been distracted with thoughts of vacation, Kiko, and Kiko, and some more Kiko lately. Gotta work, kailangang maka-graduate. And then, pera, pera, pera. More pera, more fun. More moolah, more adventures. Siyeeeht. Imagine, ang saya. Hahahaha.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For some reasons, kinikilig ako.
I love you, Kiko! Aaaaaaaaiiiyyeeeeeeeeeeehhh.

Excited na ako. Kamown. Let's hit the beach. Woooh. And we'll be hitting the beach twice. HF Midyear Workshop. Oye. Sun, sea and sand sa maaraw na tag-ulan. Global warming. Hahahaha. Naalala ko tuloy yung kanta ni Noel Cabangon about global warming. Anyway, masakit na ang mata ko. Bukas na lang ulit.

Time to beach, beybeh!
