Stories to tell

As I wake up I do my routine phone check and as usual for the past days I have an event reminder of the book launching of "higher law" a compilation of articles written by my good friend who is a writer and a lawyer, Atty. Mac. He did not yet invited me personally but probably in Facebook that's why it's being saved in my  phone calendar. So I texted him saying, hey congratulations and you should invite me..(we are close that way) and then he called me saying you know what, you should be there as you are a subject in one of my stories. Oh wow! I remember how in the past I have sought his counsel on navigating a complicated relationship/reelationship.   It was one of a very interesting episode in the past and lets just say that it belonged in the past but from then on he was  my counsel and my listening ear  and my adviser for navigating life in general. Like in this  little chat we talked about the new Miss Universe answer to the question "Name something over the course that you failed at and tell us what you learned.”  She answered in French and when translated. " Miss France: I failed several times in my life… When you fail you have to be elevated and you have keep going. If tonight I will not be the winner I am still honored that I’m still one of the three finalists. For me this is a great opportunity. He said that was the best part of her answer being "elevated". How did we arrived to this topic? Well because he was asking me about my relationship status and he ask if there's someone making me happy. I said yes I am happy and learning from my bad decisions. I even quoted the pun " Bad decisions best stories". We also talked about how some people who are well meaning and well intentioned  sees something which we don't see clearly. Like in some of our relationships our partners or the object of our affection are not so much our match but then again at the end of the day it's still about what's making us happy.  So we concluded in jest and in his usual witty one liner  " Continue making bad decisions until you can come up with the best one" or something along this line...

This post was written February 1, 2017 . I've just been in a vacation from Boracay and I was feeling relieved and distracted at the same time (distracted in a good way) January has been hectic because of high start of the year target which kind of set the bar for the whole year. (Sorry #work I'm with sales) and also because of Dinagyang festival in my city... long story short it was crazy! So I needed the distraction...

February you've been real #series
