Glimpse

I took a road trip to Los Banos, Laguna yesterday. I guess going on road trips is something I take after my late father. My family used to go on a lot of road trips. Up unitl the hustle & bustle of our lives put that to a stop. Yet my own trips never ceased. Something about a long drive relaxes me.

Aa398_1I was having dinner in Pizza Hut when a grandmother came in with a bunch of her friends. What caught my eye was the baller ID that she was wearing on her right wrist. Cool!!! She must have gotten it from her grandhild. Later on, a bottle of San Mig Light was placed in front of her. Astig!!!! For the rest of dinner, I stole glances. Looking over her table, watching her & her friends have dinner. She was so animated & lively! It warms my heart to see her live her life to the fullest. Enjoying a glass of beer with long time friends. It reminded me of my own set of friends who I regularly have dinner with. It was like I caught a glimpse of my own future with my friends. It was a very comforting thought.

Experiences like these can never be bought anywhere. Which is why I love going on trips. Each one is a new adventure. And I take home a new thought. More than often, a new perspective on things.

people watching has always been one of my favourite things to do as a kid. i learnt so much about how people interact with each other.

but yeah... it's always nice to have these little reminders of friendships never ending!
