celebrating freedom

last monday, 12th of june, is independence day. and thank God it fell on a monday for my weekend was extended for another 24 hours. so, for the next few hours of extended freedom, i went malling and unintentionally(?) shopping, in the halls and malls of the busy metro with good friend-emma (who just recently arrived from a 2-week hiatus in bacolod), her beau-archie, and my shopping partner-daping. off we went to spend the 12th of june celebrating—well, freedom.

freedom. i now realize how free i am to shop whatever i want to shop, eat whatever i want to eat, and go to places i want to go. well of course, there are limitations you impose for yourself –taking into consideration your budget, finances and other intangible responsibilities. and although not absolute, the fact remains that i am still endowed with a lot more freedom… a lot more free compared to the days when i was still in school and is dependent on what papa and mama would give me… a lot more free compared to the days when i was still in bacolod, living under the same roof with my parents... and a lot more free now that i earn my own money.

so for now, while still enjoying my youth and while responsibilities are quite lesser, i continue to enjoy, seize and celebrate my given freedom. cest la vie!
