FORGIVING and FORGETTING


I'm in love with Paulo Coelho. I've been following his tweets for months now. And now i'm an avid fan of his blog. I just love his special gift of words and wisdom. Paulo Coelho Rocks!!!

Oh well, he did ask for some opinions on forgiving and forgetting...
"I would like to hear your opinion on forgiving and forgetting. When people hurt you: do you forgive and forget? Or do you just forgive but don’t forget?"
hmmmm... is it evil not to forget? ... well, when people hurt me i don't easily forgive, much more forget. It would take days, months or even years. I kinda forgive and forget super later or i remember everything forever. I'm a woman of pride, i must admit. If somebody hurts me, then be it. Cease with the talking cos i believe more talks lead to more hurtful words which would eventually lead to not forgiving at all. Does this make me more evil? hope not. Well, i agree with what Paulo Coelho said "People who tend to be seen as good – usually forgive and forget. But I don’t think that this is a question of being good or evil – I think the point is about being just. So maybe the tendency to forgive and forget those that have hurt us is not necessarily a good thing. Because if we don’t do anything to people that hurt us – they will probably continue on hurting others." Makes sense right? It's too hard to forget something really painful. Forgiving may come in handy but not forgetting. When will those people stop hurting us if we end up easily forgiving and forgetting every time they hurt us? Guess, it's good to be bad sometimes ayt?

To all my kinda ex-friends: Maybe... just maybe... when the coast is clear, the ship can go home safely!

what happened last August 14?

uhmmm... what actually happened on my birthday??

got pretty amazed with the greetings i got.. lots of love for me.. yay! lol

My lovely cousins, the cute little kids and the rest of the clan went over for lunch bringing in some food. Little sissy travelled all the way from Manila to spend a couple of days with us. Since she wasn't home on her birthday, my aunts decided to have a double celebration. 25th and 28th. As usual, it was camwhoring day again! This is actually the first birthday without mama and papa around. Miss mah folks!



Batch 98 had a Reunion that night too. But before the event i decided to have my hair done at Arlene's near Ateneo. Cut my hair a little shorter and had bangs.

Met up with Icholle, Argie, Anthrone and his girlfriend at Penong's but eventually ended having dinner at Dimsum Diner. It was party time after dinner at Kanto Bar. It was fun seeing familiar faces, trying to remember names and reminiscing events. Other BAD SAINTZ present during the event were: Patty, Aubrey R., Delsie and Joeven.. with a quick surprise birthday visit by Karl.



It was my birthday so i thought that gave me the license to get drunk that night. I think i had 4 bottles of Gilbey's Premium Strength plus 1 glass of RH(i'm not really a fan of it. i don't really drink it). i was still ok before we moved to another location. I even managed to go back and forth the powder room like a hundred times. But there was a sudden turn of events. I got a bit dizzy and did the waaaaaaark waaaaaark thing outside Blugre's premises... super exciting birthday i should say... too much alcohol!.. have to be alcohol-free for months... goodbye GPS and hello ice.. i'm actually going back to my Strong Ice and welcoming a new ice... Tanduay Ice.. lol

It was a double celebration the day after, mine and Dada's. Rushed over Picobello and had calzones and pizzas. DOUBLE TREAT!!!



It is indeed so fun to spend birthdays with the people you love. Cheers!
