The Bravest thing one did...

Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain...

My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
I love what I do not have...

It's been aeons since I wrote anything on this blog...
It's a holiday Monday. The non-working day of The Bonifacio day was moved from Nov.30 to Dec.1. Which I think was great.

I really need a break, from everything. I just recovered from influenza, coupled with allergic rhinitis and whooping cough. I still managed myself to go to work during the weekdays. I haven't done anything productive lately. But I yesterday I was able to see my friend and go to 168 mall where we bought some gifts for Christmas. I also got myself a new haircut. Other than that I just lay around on my bed the whole day...

Just this morning, while I can't seem to get out of bed, I listened to Chico and Del's The MorningRush show on the radio at RX93.1. They have this portion: The Top Ten things. Where everyday they select a topic which may be relevant with what's happening... They started by saying that since Nov.30 Bonifacio Day, and Andres Bonifacio in our history epitomized the revolution and evrything unlike Rizal being the pacifist blah blah blah...

Anyway they decided that their topic would be: The Top Ten Bravest thing you've ever done. They encourage people to text in their entries and Chico and Del would select from those entries which would be worthy for theirTop Ten. People sent in their entries like: "When I was 19 yrs.old and I decide to confront the School's Security guard for his misdemeanor", "When I escaped from 3 robbers without getting hurt and took the balisong as souvenir", "When I had an argument with a policeman in a secluded area where there aro no possible witness"...

And I was like hmmmm...What about me What was THE Bravest thing I have ever done so far?
And then Chico read an entry which said: "When I told a person how much I love him, despite knowing for a fact that he loves someone else, just for the sake of telling him what I feel!" And I was like, Yikes!!! Now that's an arrow right on target....

And I thought having fought robbers with knife in the jeepney at Blumentritt was brave!
