Marvin's Ideas

This was one great video! I’ve been dreaming a lot about going for a vacation or just a short break. I really love going to beaches for swimming though I am not a good swimmer (or shall I say, I don’t know how to swim). Well, I hope sooner I could afford to give myself a break and go to my favorite beaches nearest to my location.

Working so hard to reach each ones goal is a very hectic part of everyone’s life. And there’s no escape from being too tired especially when everything will be very complicated. So, what we all need is a bit of relaxation wherein there is no way for getting tired and worried of the things that we usually do. Just as what we did last Saturday.


Last Saturday, I was cordially invited by my previous co-teammates or workmates for an overnight stay at a resort. I try to reject the invitation because I have nothings left in my pocket to contribute and for the fare. But, they really wanted me to come. And so, they told me that everything will be free. There are two of us who were invited to join the get-together of our team. I was thankful for they still remember us as their friends and past trainees. This bunches of people who used to be my mentors, friends, and trainers.


So, I prepared the things that I need. Then, during the early morning of Saturday, I took a bath immediately and fix myself and prepare to go. When I arrived at the lobby of the company where we everybody should be there, I noticed a person who was standing in front of the building. It was my co-trainee during my training at the company. We were the first two persons to reach the place. So, we manage to wait the others. And in a few minutes, they arrived. They gathered all the things that we need for the trip. After they were done, the van arrived. The number of passengers that the van can handle is about 16 to 18 persons and there are only 15 persons in the group. So, we were able to occupy a seat in the van. We traveled about half an hour or I guess it’s almost 45 minutes to reach the place.


When we arrived at the resort, it was raining and maybe we can go swimming on the pool. But, one from the group said that the weather will be fine at exactly 3:30. Anyways, the place was so nice and wonderful enough to entertain our eyes.

Amusements around the city make me feel better eventhough there are many things which usually bothers my sight. That is why when I’m going home after a shopping trip, or just going around somewhere, I used to take a complete route due to satisfaction purposes. Well don’t take it in any other ways that you might be thinking right now. I would like to clear this out that I am following a specific travel scheme when I’m on the road. I can’t explain it very well because I know that all of this stuffs is just a work of my inner senses which makes me feel very rewarding when I fulfill it up. You might also try it yourself and just follow your instincts and do the move.

As I went down town, I see many people who were into the business of CD burning. I don’t know I they do have the proper certificates and license to make business with city-goers. They offer downloads, remix, and CD burning. I went down to the urban center of our place at least two times a week to buy some stuff such as oat meal, fruits, medicine, and meet-up with my friends to play our favorite LAN game DOTA. Every time I’m on the place especially in the earliest of the morning, I saw these guys setting-up their booth and preparing for the customers to come. In the other side of the street, I saw a shop and might be selling DVD’s and CD’s. I went to have a look on what they were selling. Oh well, when I was inside the shop I saw a lot of movie either on DVD or CD. It was terrible because they have the latest movies that were currently on the cinemas. So, these are what we call pirated movie selling industries. I don’t know why they exist because there is a campaign against piracy on both movie and music but here we have these people vending pirated DVD and CD copies of songs, movies and even software.

During the overnight stay at the resort last Saturday, a lot of things happened. There we have the fun activities with my friends, cooking sessions, eating portion, swimming in the very awesome pool, water polo, group presentation, and a lot more. The sad thing there is that we can’t enjoy the pool until the next day comes since there is a limit on the usage of the pool. We can only use the pool until 9 in the evening and it will be available in morning at 8. This was done by the resort’s administration because the facilities well be under maintenance. The maintenance personnel will fix everything, do check-up, and clean the pool.

So, during nighttime we have nothing to do because the pool wasn’t available. We can’t go swimming and water polo as well. Even volleyball can be so hard to play because there was no yard for the game. So, we only stay in the house that we rent for us to stay. Some of us manage to do some other stuff just to make some fun in the middle of the night. While others do drink wine, play card games, play DOTA, and others just manage their time taking some sleep.

Even-though feeling so sleepy, I don’t want to permit my eyes to close because I don’t want to sleep. I did a lot of things just to gain more energy. I took the guitar and sit somewhere away from the house with the MP3 player in my ears. I listened to music and tried to learn playing those things. But, at 4 in the morning, I can’t stand no more and my energy was losing it charge. So, I went to the house for a sleep even-though the sun is almost on its way.

It was 10 in the evening when my colleagues started to get bored during the overnight stay at the resort. The pool was not available since we have pass through the limit of time. Everyone is trying to make fun out of the things that we have brought. Some people play card games, some do sleep on the other house, and some brought their laptops and played DOTA. I preferred to stay at a place where I stayed alone and I got the guitar in my arms then the MP3 player. I listened to my music collection and tried to play some of it.

But, in just a few songs, I started to get bored. So, I went back to the house and I saw some of my colleagues who were enjoying the game. They were playing DOTA with their laptop. I one of those people who plays DOTA a lot. So, through watching them I just enjoyed and stay awake until dawn. But, because I was so sleepy, I laid down the bed and took some sleep.
