Jumping, Falling and Believing

I had a weird dream the other night...
I was with some of my office friends. It was like a field trip or summer outing.There were also other people, na hindi ko kakilala..Parang sa Leo's Leisure Park pero EK ang dating..hehehe

People were falling in line for this game... More like AR pero individual ang challenges, like survivor or Takeshi's Castle..

At first the challenge would look like kiddie games pero sobrang nakakaloka ang twist.

Before I enter the "cave" I saw someone..Actually, I was looking for someone na pwede ko maging kakampi sa loob ng race.

Mama Jode was there.. (uuuyyy touched.. =P)
She gave me a nod and said "TARA, GAME!" ( The typical, cowboy! este Cowgirl? or cow nalng? hehehe..)

The task was easy. You just have to reach the other side of the room and enter the door to proceed to the next round.

She went in first.
I wasn't so sure if it was her weight or her actions or it was just part of the twist... but the floor just gave in. As in she was literally hangging..

Ang malupit na part, mala Grand Canyon ang baba.. Who would have known na ganun ang itsura ng nasa plywood na floor na un!

As much as I really would like to help her, one of the coordinator stopped me.

This is her challenge, not mine.
Wala ako nagawa. Maliban sa hintayin siya maka recover from the fall.

Hindi ko na napansin kung nakatawid siya. But I know na buhay pa siya..

The weird part was, kahit maraming naka kita na ganun yung ilalim, at yung actions nya ang nagcause nun pag give in, patuloy ang mga tao sa pag try...
Who knows kung anong reason nila for pursing the task, kahit na alam nilang ganun.

Iba iba ang reaction, iba iba ang goal.

Ako nung nakita ko, natakot ako.
Pero gusto ko! Parang masayang challenge!
I even plotted the plan kung pano ko tatahakin ung daan, without falling.
I believed, I can do it better than the others just by studying their faults!

But when it was my time to jump in and take the challenge, someone called me.

Some voice na hindi ko kilala.
When I look back, madaming naghihintay sa akin.
Aalis na daw. Madami daw akong dapat gawin.
Madaming naaabala dahil sa plano kong pagsali.
I saw the look on their face, and with that I made the decision to give up.

Honestly I felt bad.
Gusto ko i-try, Gusto ko subukan ung challenge.
Parang ang sarap ng feeling ng naka-hang ka, and ung thrill that you might fall.
Ibang level, Ibang klasing high! ( bangag! )
I would have loved the feeling and the experience.

But then, I turned back.
I heard that familliar voice and a pat on my shoulder.
Si Rumi, ginigising na ako...

"Ligo na!"

That morning I arrived at the office at 8:31Am.
Bad way to start a day...
