Today, a Sunday morning, is perfect… Purrrfect… Here I am, solo ko ang bahay, drinking my morning coffee, malamig kasi we’re still in the middle of winter, and I say to myself "This is bliss..! It sure is..". This is my kind of day. Waking up in the morning, ako lang mag-isa, no one to bother me. I like peace & quiet when I’m at home. Some people feel the compulsion to be nice & initiate conversation with others they hardly know-I feel the same way kaya minsan ayaw ko umaattend ng mga parties because I know I would be terribly rude not to say anything at all to a new acquaintance at gusto ko lang sabihin e "Alam mo, di naman natin kailangan mag-usap." I don’t like having company sometimes. I can even imagine myself going to  another country by myself-and I plan to, actually. Not right now, though. First things first. In my experience, I have travelled twice by myself to & fro the US, I like the feeling of being on my toes, on being the alert. I realized na mas observant ako pag ako lang mag-isa. Whereas kung may kasama ako, I don’t pay that much attention to my surroundings ’cause I’m too busy talking. Traveling with someone has it’s pros& cons. You have someone to share memories with. But traveling alone does have it’s excitement for me because you have to try things out of your comfort zone, observe & marvel at things with no one to disturb your train of thoughts. Honestly, I want to learn how to talk to other people. I know, I’m contradicting myself dahil sa sinabi ko kanina about my behavior at parties but one of the things I really want to have is to have the gift of easy conversation. No, no! Not being tsismosa! But to be able to reply to something with wit & cleverness. I could say that I wish I would know what to say, most of the time, at least. In English, a "rejoinder".

About the part of traveling alone, gusto ko sana mag-punta in any country in Europe or maybe kahit sa anong city lang dito sa States. To be on the safe side, since it would be my first time to travel alone, mabuti na muna kung pupunta ako sa lugar kung saan nagsasalita sila ng English. I’m thinking of going to San Francisco, then visit a friend in Santa Monica. Maybe next year pupunta ako. You know, there are just some things you need to experience alone!
