Time-out

Perhaps my readers will be surprised that finally, after a long time, I got a full rest. I spent 2 days without actually leaving the borners of what people call 'home'. Its been a long time since this actually happened and if I should, I somehow missed the comfort I get out of the notion that I'll just be staying home for a day. So how did I spent my weekend, oh of course I was preoccupied with the usual stuffs like studying Korean, watching TV, surfing the net, eating, etc. Things I usually have done during the past months alongside with my school works and job. Nothing really new, it's just that I felt well rested.
The first week of our summer class has already passed. I was expecting a lot from our CWTS class and after just a week, I was not wrong to do so. Our professor really knew a lot about the subject matter. He is passionate about what he is doing and he has a lot of fresh ideas and ways to handle the class in such a fun way. My classmates are kind and amiable. We went to a Gawad Kalinga site in Payats last Thursday and eventhough it was quite tiring, I really did have fun. I am happy to be somehow exposed with different worlds where people actually live in. Though I felt useless (compared to the volunteers coming from Ateneo), I am satfisfied with the idea that all of us are left with the option whether to cooperate in such civic activities or not.
There are times when I really wanted to reach out and be as generous as I can, but if one doesn't have the gift of time, such things becomes more difficult to accomplish. Oh well, we all have the gift of time, but what makes us different is the way we choose to spent it.
I am meeting a lot of new people these days and that already makes me happy. ^>^
Tomorrow, I'm finally going swimming with my relatives. I'm excited because I've been hearing a lot of good things about the resort we are going to. Yeah! I' ll try not to get sun tanned (but that might be inevitable.)
