REHAB

Rehabilitation – The act of suppressing one’s self from an addiction.
Example: Uy, pare! Musta na rehabilitation mo? (Wow, helpful ang sentence! Hehehe)

I was “asked” (read forced) by a friend to blog about his rehabilitation program. His addiction? Well, nothing serious. He is just “mildly” addicted to a “friend”. He’s texting this “friend”, thinking about this “friend”, emailing this “friend”, chatting with this “friend” and doing all means possible (hmm, a bit exaggerated ata, but you get the point, right?) of contacting this, well, again, “friend”. (Oh, my! This sure is fun! Wehehe!)

Would it be rude to drop my friend’s name, knowing that he visits this blogsite often? Would it be “unfriendly” to tell you the name of the so-called “friend” he is “addicted” to?

(sigh)

Such power! Hahaha =) Pilitin nyo ko, sasabihin ko! Hehehe =)

Controlling yourself from doing something you really, really wanna do is really, really hard. It takes mega-efforts to undo what habits you already formed in your system. I can only imagine how hard it is for him now… rehabilitating… But why in the world is he undergoing this “rehab”? Ok, I’ll tell you… (This is the part where you will hear the noticeably loud “halakhak”)

It all began with an introduction by a common friend… Then some occasional unplanned meetings, polite invitations, and…Wait! I might not be able to control myself! Baka masabi ko na taga-ganitong church yung girl, na ka-age nya, nagwo-work sa --- hehehe =) panic na sya at this point in time, so in order to make sure that I’ll be able to attend our retreat in Banaue and Sagada this weekend, I’ll keep the details to myself muna. *blink blink*

Anyways, bakit nga ba nya kailangang mag-rehab? Well, it’s because he wants to, and because he HAS to. He has to focus on what at this point in time is most important and urgent. Ayusin muna ang sariling buhay bago guluhin ang buhay ng iba, dabah? Hehehe :) And he wants to do things one step at a time, parang staircase yan eh, dabah? :)

I think that is something admirable about him. (Abah! Nagbabasa na sya ngayon ng books namin! Dapat lang unti-unti syang matuto! Hehehe) He knows na how to discipline himself, and somehow be accountable for how he feels and what the “friend” thinks and feels at the same time. Responsible citizenship? Hehehe =)

Siguro lang, I’m just happy to see him enjoying his life, doing the things he is passionate about, and well, reading our books! :) kaya kung asan ka man ngayon, know this: kahit paano, proud ako sayo. ;)
