“Katyangspaceship” comes from the word “kathang-isip”. “Katya” means pure, it is the name of an Immortal in Highlander: The Series. The “Spaceship” refers to fantasy …out of this world when you are out of your mind…a pigment of imagination or a realization?... sometimes mistakenly known as hallucination. Let’s explore both sides of the world…WELCOME ABOARD…

The Man Without a Face

August 8, 2011
Have you thought much about the limits of your friendships? What would you not do with or for your friends,  no matter what? Are there things you would rather not do but would if a close friend asked?  Would you do some things for certain friends, but not for others?

Without friends, our pathetic lives would not be worth living. Others may even climb the highest  mountain, swim the deepest sea, walk across the hottest desert, just to prove our friendships.

Well, there much more meaning to friendship than hanging out with them and sharing tsismis. We all  want to have true friends, but the quality of our friends depend on us. If you want to have true  friends, you should be a true friend yourself. By being a true friend, people will love to be  around you and will feel your concern for their betterment and not for criticism. We know that it’s
difficult to change other people, but we can always change ourselves and let others understand that changes will do them good.

We dont have to change ourselves to get the approval of the other person or pretend to be  someone we are not. We dont have to do anything fancy or out the ordinary to win their  friendship and neither do we…we can just be ourselves. We can talk and share at a heart level  but keep our own separate selves. It doesnt matter whether they are the same sex, age or  anything else, it doesnt matter. It is just built on a mutual respect and a bond of caring, respect and mutual sharing. When you think about it, you are in a company of good people and  will realize the value of friendships.

It also got me thinking…someone asked me this morning if I have a company of my friends whenever I travel and I said “Yes of course, you are not yet my friend if we did not experience a journey together. We have many journeys in life and there are endless roads to travel”.

Bring it on..

August 7, 2011

It doesn’t matter how much time you have in the day, it never seems to be enough.  I hope you enjoy reading all my silly rants  :-)

I don’t have much to report, but I’ll tell you about additional celebrations. Last August 4 was my mother’s birthday. She is in the province and I managed to greet her through phone. My folks were  supposed to be here this August but due to series of typhoons, I told them to wait for a rather clear coast and good weather. Anyways, anytime this month, they will be here in time for my birthday.

It was also my sister’s birthday last August 5. Come to think of it, we are 3 in the family celebrating our birthday at the same month.

The last few days I’ve so much sweets and I had migraine. No wonder, after 5 days, I had my period.  Tomorrow, I better start increasing veggies and fruits in my diet

It is an extra busy time for us at the offce, with the audit coming up and other extra curricular activities lined up. We had a public speaking sessions every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month and aerobics every Thursday. Not to mention we will be having a big event coming up this October that needs to be arranged, me as production manager.

Oh by the way, I still have a coming trip with a good friend scheduled before the end of this month. I will be on a plane flying to Macau. I love flying  and I love airports….but not our airport.  Flying is fun and you are treated well. But we know, with this airline, they won’t feed us,  but that is not a big thing. The food was never that good anyway. However, the service was pleasant.  Our itinerary is not yet polished. For the first time, I’ll be making a trip without check in baggage. I usually bring my personal luggage bag on all my trips whether domestic or international.

I have some writing and thinking to do as I will be scheduled soon to do my 2nd prepared speech and I dont fuc*ing know what to talk about.  

I also have some Social activities coming up,  have few dinner invitations from my cousin who is here for a vacation from Japan and from a friend from US. Oh my, if that is the case, how am I going to work on my diet. Oh crap!

Well, most of you are going through the same thinkng, so you know where I am coming from.

I look forward to seeing old friends too, the Saturday dinner with my siblings.

Tomorrow  will be more work and hopefully finish something :) It feels good to be productive.
