I have to admit, it was not my usual Friday. But I'm actually grateful it wasn't.
Originally, we were planning to have a JAG session but there were a lot of circumstances that changed the plan. Good thing my friend, Richlyn, asked earlier if I have some plans for my Friday night. I was in an audit committee meeting at that time so I had to tell her that I still have to finalize things because my small group has not confirmed yet.
By the time my meeting was over, I had to rush back to the office because my officemates were waiting for me. We normally go home at the strike of 4:30pm because it's Friday...and no Boss around!
Still no response from JAG. Sometimes, it's frustrating because people lack the skills to communicate. And my JAG has to learn that well. One of my mentors told me that to correspond is part of one's integrity. That is while I always try to explain to my JAGmates the value of communication.
Since there is a slight change for JAGship, I agreed to meet up with Rich, have some dinner and watch a movie. So I went home first because we were looking at watching the last full show @ 10:30pm. By the way, Rich lives in the same condominium.
Surprisingly, Gail and Helenne wanted to have dinner with us but will not join the movie trip. It's okay. So we met at the Food Choices of Glorietta 4 and had dinner at Piadina--Rich's favorite. Klaire was supposed to watch with us but got hijacked by her boss in Serendra.
As we were having dinner, I saw my 3 of college friends whom I have not seen for the longest time--Candice, Riz and Mary Grace. It's been years, really. And I'm just so glad to see them "staying" in the Philippines.
After dinner, we kissed Gail and Len goodbye and headed to the movie house. We were quite early for the showtime so Rich and I decided to do TimeZone. We tried some games and took some nice pictures. Thanks to the manong guard.
I am not much of an Incredible Hulk fan but I find the movie worth watching. I was able to draw some lessons too. I just did not discuss with Rich my reflections. She may find me too deep...and kinda weird. Peace Rich. But really, reflecting on...we have a little bit of hulk inside of us. We just don't turn into a green monster when we get to angry or our heart beats super fast. But we turn out to be the person which we don't want to become. Of course, who would want to live our lives filled with strife and anger all the time. We want to live in peace and love...and harmony. We don't want to be separate from our love ones because our nature simply can't.
And at times when we need a tranquilizer, we just have to remind ourselves that we have so much available dosages of love and abounding grace from God.
Just like the movie, I truly believe that love conquers all.
