beach bbq at jericho, that was the invite and so i happily obliged. we brought food and drinks and played frisbee till the clouds ate the sun away in one big bite. it was cold again too soon. if only i could tuck a piece of sunshine into my pocket then i would have enough to keep me warm.
after the picnic, we proceeded to y's hideout at the lions. it has a great view of the city by the sea, made me miss my pad in makati. but that's a thousand miles away and a thousand times sadder than this place, so i guess there's no point in comparing. we watched a few japanese movies to immerse the two others who were leaving for nihon late this month.
the people here are lucky, they don't need a visa to travel around, they don't care about money they spend in transit or work they'll miss if they go. very much like those i've met in the land of the rising sun who can easily fly out on a euro tour for the golden week. such a big contrast to those left in the southeast who are out lining up for rice and eating salt for lunch. makes me see firsthand how the wealth of the world is so unevenly distributed.
if only i can see beyond my own selfishness and do something more other than whine, i know i can still make a difference.
