THE CONTINGENCY PLAN



We should all have one. Just in case things screw up. Just in case the original plan backfires.



Like for my visa application alone, my Uncle (who is such a firm believer in contingency plans) has 3 back-up plans. (yeah, 3! Although the last one is an option that I hope I never have to take)



I am climbing Mt. Lobo in Batangas this weekend (woohoo!!!) and there's a 99% chance I am going BUT in the event that the 1% comes into play, I'm planning to swim a few laps in the clubhouse pool and go running. I've been pigging out kasi the past week. Need to exercise.



Jay thinks I should get an alternate ISP, just so I have another one I can use in case the system of the one I'm using messes up.



I'm sure all us have at least one of the following: health insurance, life insurance, car insurance, or some sort of pre-need plan. So that in the case of any mishap, *knock on wood*, we or our loved ones won't be left with nothing. Heck, we even make it a point to keep a spare tire in our vehicles!



Isn't that what they taught boy scouts and girl scouts? ALWAYS BE PREPARED.



And thats why we develop contingency plans. In every scenario, there should be a plan B. Options and alternatives have to be laid out. All because we cannot leave ourselves open to disaster, in in the event that it decides to strike. We cannot be susceptible to any kind of catastrophe.



Jay and I had a teeny weeny argument yesterday which, I know I'm exaggerating when I say this, but it left me really emotional and very scared. Although I trust our relationship enough to know that it will take more than that to get rid of each other, I was really scared I was going to lose him. I never want to.



What does that have to do with contingency plans, you say?



It just dawned on me yesterday that while I am not the most plan B-obsessed person in the world (my Uncle is and Jay comes in a close second), I know that I make sure I have a flipside or a back-up plan for the major and important stuff in my life.



Yeah, all. Except this. Except my relationship with Jay.



And that petrifies the hell out of me. Because if things don't work out between me and Jay, I don't have a contingency plan. I don't have any plan to fall back on. I don't have a "spare tire".



And the weird thing is, I know that I won't be looking for one. It will be completely futile to even attempt to look for one because I know that nothing will even come close to what Jay and I have that it can even be worthy enough to be considered an alternative.



I read somewhere that, "In no other game than love can you make all the right moves and still lose". This is not a game. But, if it is, I have a very good feeling I'm going to win it. Jay and I will.



Suddenly, not having a contingency plan doesn't seem so bad, after all.



HAVE A GREAT LONG WEEKEND, guys! We all deserve this! Hehehe!

about moi


Loves the beach, wishes she had more time and money to travel, recently got hooked to climbing mountains, reads anything she can get her hands on, frustrated writer, adores her 3-year-old Lhasa Apso, Tashi, constantly needs caffeine, wonders when she'll quit smoking, and will most likely die due to liver complications from drinking too much (if the cigarettes doesn't get to her lungs first). Can't live without accessories especially big, dangling earrings, shoe freak (aren't we all?), sucker for discovering hole-in-the-wall restaurants, will ingest anything spicy, enjoys giving and receiving massages, addicted to Friends, Sex and the City and CSI, goes gaga over kids, dreams of being alone with Jim Morrison and smoking a joint with Bob Marley. Would love to party with Gwen Stefani, shop with Patricia Field, write poetry with Maya Angelou and have Sting, Nelson Mandela, Mark Twain and Bono over for dinner.
