As I sit trying to look busy, my mind wanders. I often do this especially after finishing and preparing all my lessons for the next day. N o one has ever succeeded in building a time machine for quite some time now. I don't get in a spaceship and travel a million light years nor do I lie in a capsule and wake up in a different time. I just stare at blank and my journey begins.
I find myself in a fantasy land filled with happy and joyous memories. These are circumstances that probably made my childhood days worth living and worth remembering. I see myself playing in kindergarten play ground together with my playmates from different grade levels. I was never picked up in school early,I'm one of those few kids who are picked up either late or very late. Most of the time it's very late. I'd be in the swing, slide see-saw and sometimes the merry go round. I never liked the merry go round. It makes nauseous. Sometimes when nobody is around to play with anymore I just sit and wait for a familiar face to show up. And surely when my Mom or Dad shows up I'd be as fast as Flash running towards them with a hug coming. I'd be the happiest boy.
There are times that I find myself in my grannies care. I usually cry my heart out so that my Mom will let me stay in my grannies house. There were times that I got sick in my grannies' house, so sick that they'd give me an Aspilet and put some hot towel on my forehead and call my father while at it. And every time I hear my parents voice almost by the door it gives me a sigh of relief, nothing compares to a soft tender touch and nice loving voices from a family.
Then I find myself getting into a brawl with my brothers. We were in a brawl together often when we were in grade school. I have no idea why but we find ourselves throwing and receiving punches. It's not as pleasant as being consistently in honor roll but those brawls and fights drew us closer to each other and thus engraving in our hearts and minds the real meaning of being siblings and being brothers.
I also find myself courting a girl for the first time. It was not as romantic as expected but it surely paved way for me to be a ladies man. I learned how it's like to be in the best and worst of circumstances. I've had proud and embarrassing moments together. It's a rock n roll journey with romance and growing up.
I'm also in awe looking at myself making so many friends and building different levels of friendships. It's extraordinary. I have had various groups spending my time with when I was growing up. Different friends for different situations. There was one friend though who went all the way with me until I tied the knot. Actually, he's still rolling with me until now. Maybe not physically but I'm sure in spirit he is. I keep his spirit alive as I am confident that he is keeping mine as well. Indeed true friends last for more than a lifetime.
Another very important friend that I happened to chat with for the past few weeks is also doing very well. I can still recall our good old high school days,we did a lot of school politics maneuvering and also accomplished a lot of projects when we were in our Jr. and Sr. year. We ended up being elected to the top 2 spots of our Alumni batch officers . We had a run I believe and now we running a different kind of race. We are facing uncertain foes and invisible obstacles but we are positive that we will conquer our fears now the way we conquered our fears after high school. We turned out ok and will turn out aright in time.
I have so many travels I wanna narrate, but as always being in this strange land with bizarre culture I'm pressed for time. Till the next time travel,see you!
