My Beach Weekend
My family and I will hit the beach this weekend for a much needed vacation. I so love going to the beach and it is my favorite spot if I need to relax and stay away from the city. So, since I’ll go on a vacation anytime soon, I am already packing the things I need for the whole trip.
Spacious bag- as much as possible, I don’t want to carry multiple bags. Only one huge bag with all the things I need in it and my laptop bag.
Sun block lotion- Even if it’s rainy or sunny I need to make sure that my skin is protected. I’m crossing my fingers that it will not rain this weekend though. I’d like to get a tan.
Eyewear- I love the heat of the sun touching my skin but not my eyes. A shade is a must!
Good book- I will bring my “Today Matters” by John Maxwell with me. It’s a very good book and I highly recommend it to everybody.
Reliable flip-flops- I should protect my feet from shells, stones and sand.
Camera- I’d die not taking pictures of the whole trip. Hahaha!
Music- I am preparing my playlist to help me relax while getting a nice tan.
Laptop- Unfortunately, it’s not just all about vacation. I have to carry my work with me.
Dresses- and lots of ‘em! It’s the most comfortable thing to wear. Plus accessories to complete my look.
And the list goes on. Well, I plan not to carry a lot of things with me. Or else my brother will tease me again because I look like I will be away for months. It’s hard for me to travel light. I list down the things I need and end up carrying a heavy bag. I don’t want my shoulder to suffer. So, how about you? what have you got planned this weekend?

Friendship Issues
I have around 500 friends in Facebook but if I’ll start counting I think I only have around 10 close friends. I have lost friends before because of jealousy, gossips and disagreements. I have a different view about friendship. For me, it’s like building a relationship with your boyfriend or girlfriend. And probably some of my friends don’t think the way I do. I don’t believe in saying that your friends say a lot about you as a person. Why? First, we were raised differently by our parents. Second, we are all unique and we have different mindsets. I make friends with people no matter how bad or good they are, rich or poor, stupid or intelligent. Sometimes, no matter how long you’ve been friends with this person, and then you had an argument, friendship ends just like that! And to tell you honestly, it gets tiring. I’ve had failed relationships but I think I have twice as much in failed friendships. So I began to question myself, “What have I done wrong?” I am a chameleon. I blend with people around me. I’m not saying that I am not being myself when I’m with different people. But since I don’t like the spotlight, I prefer to blend in. Today, I will choose my friends wisely. I will learn from my past friendships. From now on I will assess the common reason of my failed friendships to know what went wrong. I will choose friends with solid character. I would rather be surrounded with people with positive attitude in life. If ever I will meet new set of friends, I will be more observant most especially how they react to other people. It will tell a lot about the person I am with. Lastly, I will continue to respect the people around me. It is the most valuable thing in any relationship.
