Travel Magazine

As a student, I hated going back to school after Christmas break ‘coz I knew I will be writing again "My New Year’s Resolution" composition and it’s very difficult on my part to make one because I don’t have any and most of my works are made up and sugar coated just to get that much coveted "Outstanding" remark.

Years passed…now I’m an adult who live fully and probably in my mid life– for my high risk lifestyle, and yet still I don’t have any new year’s resolution.  So, I started my first weekends of the year diverting my trip to meet my old high school friends. Indeed, it was fun seeing them again and reliving old high school memories.

But what amuses me this new year was having a book entitled "14,000 THOUSAND THINGS TO BE HAPPY". Well, it is supposed to be a parting gift from my officemate since I’m moving for another assignment. At first glance, it was just a list of things some of it I’m not familiar with for it is very western. They are mostly simple stuff that are ignorable or easily  put into oblivion such as a spoon,hammer, thought of winning, eating egg on breakfast and and so on. But once you started to recall the memories attached to it, you’ll realized that you can’t help but laughed out loud.

I guess it is better to start writing down simple things and thoughts than making a new year’s resolution where you are certain that it is difficult to keep.

Hence, my list would start from a travel magazine. I just grabbed the premiere issue and the content was really worth reading for what’s inside is the detailed guide in going to Sagada. Just having that thought lift my spirit and I’m contemplating doing it on Holy Week though it’s difficult to find intrepid souls within my circles who are willing to sacrifice comfort for the sake of adventure but still I’m hoping I could grab one and that’s enough to keep my spirit high.
