My Easter Vacation - An unfortunate event
Couples weeks ago I had a very interesting easter vacation with 2 of my friends. I said interesting because we don't have any particular destination, place to stay or any strict time line. Our limitations are only our car length time line and our will to travel. We just go to any particular place we want at the night before. Our big theme is 'Around Scotland' so then we plan our journey accordingly.
My original plan was travel along the east side of scotland following the coastline, to the north, then west side and then go back home to Sunderland. Briliant Plans huh? Well wait till you guys hear the rest. So many things happened in the road back then. Rules are made to be broken, so did the plan. But still, I hope my other friends had a great time cuz I did.
The funny part was that initially our vacation plan was travleing through europe, visiting germany, benelux and france. But because we're late for applying visa to related embassy, we change our europe vacation plan to swiss vacation plan. Again, because one of our vacation member haven't stay long enough in UK (for swiss visa requirement) we change the swiss vacation plan into scotland vacation plan.
Can you see how long the process take places? Jeeez... There are two moral value of this story which I can take, they are..... never plan anything for your vacation (that is what we did for our scotland vacation plan) or.... plan AT LEAST months earlier for your vacation and make sure everything is in its places.
So good luck for you guys who'll going on a vacation....

Being needed by someone else....
Once again, I was reminded by friend of mine, "a good a man can be is a man who is worthed and useful for others". When was the first time I heard this phrase? probably long time ago, but as far as I can remember, I heard this phrase from one of my cousin's daughter who is learned it from her father. A simple phrase indeed but has many deep meanings.
So I wondering, thinking throughly through the days I've been through. Am I really useful for others? How and in what way? Well after thinking throughly, probably I'm not the most usefull a man can be but I think, out of my big head, at least for today I've done several things for other people, so I think that my life is quite meaningful. But when I think again, all the thing I've done is not that really good enough if I compared them to other doing. When I think of this often I feel really sad and scared, trully.
Being needed by others, I think, somehow already become my important needs, like food and water. And I think the feeling of being needed is also emerge in other people feelings, whether they aware of this situation or not. As a social beings humans will always need to talk and communicate with others, they need someone else. So they need some one who needed them, since there also someone who wants people to talk to them as opposite statement of that.
Am I make myself clear? well at least that what I am feeling now. Am I wrong?
