I don’t really know when it started but whenever something negative happens, especially if its unexpected, I would often say “bad trip”.  For example, when me and all of my friends would agree to watch a movie, and all of a sudden, at the last minute, one guy would back out of the plan, I would usually quip “bad trip ka!” (you are  a bad trip). Or when I was about to play basketball outdoors and then suddenly it rains, I would then say “bad trip…umuulan”(its a bad trip, its raining).

I guess nowadays with the future uncertain due to the economic crisis, with so many people losing their jobs, my natural reaction would be to say “bad trip na sitwasyon to” (this situation is a bad trip).

But come to think of it, can we really honestly say that life is a bad trip?

I don’t think so, and I really believe that. I believe that no matter the situation, there is still always something to be thanful for. ALWAYS.

And as a Christian, I really believe that in all things, our God has a purpose. He really does.

And if you really think hard and honestly evaluate yourself, and your life, would’nt you agree that life is good? Life is good, because God is good!

And no matter what happens, we can always hold on to His promise for our lives. We are NOT alone.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  - Jeremiah 29:11

Now, THAT is a good trip!
Good times!
