Weekendcapades
I wasn’t playing for quite some time and my previous weekends are preoccupied with various sidetrip.So I had the whole weekends a little bit slack since I never also did overtime in my work. But then, I got bored and texted some of my friends whom I rarely see for ages to pass the time.
I am a sort of social butterfly who hop to different groups with varied interest and personality. The group I’m with last weekend is a sort of conservative, opinionated and well very smart peeps which I just like to hang just listening to them. Ironically they were also those peeps who could smell the morning mist, see the beauty of the reeds and hear music in the gust of the wind. In short, they are boring individuals to most people’s parlance but I’ve showed interest in them because maybe a part of me is also like them.hehehehe.
Actually , I was a kind of standoffish in their discussion about Philippine Politics— well, I can’t blame myself for I’m a very apolitical person who got tired watching the news with all those scumbags in it who tried to look immaculate– whose every action and decision I know are very gullible if the price is right. My hope for this country already doomed long time ago and I can’t share much of their discussion as if I care …hehehe… I’m always been more of a expectator and a listener when I’m with them.
Then they had the synthesis of their discussions, they talked about the alternatives, the pros, the cons— as if it could be heard. There I am…in a hellish silent mood munching my burger with great delight and to cut their story I just remember a line from Robert Frost and blurted it out, to quote:
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
Do you think I’m smart enough to pick it on my reverie? Of course not, I just read it from the Men’s Health mag I’m reading because their discussion just went berserk and I couldn’t bear it anymore.
My intention then was successful, I got their attention as they turned to me with quizzical look and I gave the jocular expression and their discussion was closed. But one bothered to ask… WHY? I said, " I thought I just pigeonholed myself and felt too comfortable with it and failed to explore other exciting things and I need a shift." They never buy my idea for I’m always been known to be the most adventurous or shall I say the only adventurous in the group who hated bigots which until now they were wondering why I keep hanging with them. We call the day but upon going home I can’t help but pondered and had a serious thoughts about it.
