WEEKLY JOURNAL #5

This week, I spent our wellnes break with my college friends by going to Tanay, Rizal where we hiked Mt. Batolusong and swam in Sungab Cave. For a moment, it gave me happiness and I've been able to escape the stress of online classes. Ever since this academic year started, I have not had a proper rest because of my responsiblities.

I enjoyed my short time with them. We talked about a lot of things and our plans in our lives. They made me forgot how bad my current emotional state for a moment. I am truly thankful for them, my support system, for they made this crisis a bit bearable for me.

PLEASURE

are friendships where the main motivation for continuing the friendship is the pleasure we get from our friend’s company. This also refers to the certain characteristic of a friend that can give us happiness. This type of friendship can be built from one another or to a group of friends.

We all have similarities. I really feel comfortable with the people inside the circle. We all have the same wavelength when it comes to humor and we can talk to them about our problems with no judgement.
