I just spent almost the whole day at home. Most of my plans for the day didn’t push through. First I cancelled my out of town trip to Laguna with village friends to make way for jam session with office friends. But then the jamming was cancelled because one of my bandmates went to the hospital to have his back checked-up. Then this evening, the scheduled basketball was also cancelled because the court was wet because of the rain. I also called some friends to go out and at least watch a movie but to no avail. Good thing I only rescheduled and didn’t cancel my afternoon drum lessons to this morning to accommodate both the lessons and jamming on the same day. If not, I would have been stuck the whole day at home.

Since I had nothing to do this evening, I thought of writing some long overdue testimonials for friends. I finished 5 decent ones and it took me a couple of hours. Syempre I want to write the best testimonials! I plan to write more when I have time. Marami pa akong utang. :) It’s a way of thanking the person for being a good friend.

While writing these testimonials, I realized something. One problem that I have is that I usually don’t show emotions in front of people because I view it as a sign of weakness (which is really not). It’s seldom that I let people know what I feel about them. And when I do, it’s really monumental for me. It’s easier for me to just write it than tell it straight to their faces. I think that the reason is that it’s some kind of self-protection because I don’t want to be dependent on other people. At times I might come to others as a cold person, but in reality I’m not.
