Reunion part 1

Saturday.... November 25, I had a reunion with my college buddies. It's been 3 or 4 years since we last saw each other together. They were my tropa from first to second year college. We went on our separate ways in the junior years because of our majors. I took Accountancy and them, Business Administration.

Alex, Rollin, Glenn, Cindy (and boyfriend Kelvin), Rica and me. We met sa Eastwood's Sumthing Fishy. Dun ko lang nalaman na birthday pala ni Alex (well, ang alam ko is end of November but I didn't know the exact date). Sa sobrang excitement, nagpa-shampoo and blow dry pa ko ng buhok sa parlor. hahaha....

When we were complete na sa table, kumain na kami and in between, masayang kwentuhan tungkol sa kung ano na kami ngayon... nahahaluan pati ng mga college memories. Tawanan... Asaran... hayyyy.... super natuwa ako kasi dun ko narealize na namiss ko silang lahat. After dinner, we had coffee and dessert sa The Coffee Bean. Lumabas muna kami ni Glenn to look for batteries for my camera and to buy alex a gift na rin (We bought a velvet bone-shaped pillow na may "hug me"). Walang katapusang picture picture... gulat nga ako kasi walang inuman. hahaha...

After eastwood, punta kami sa place ni Alex which is above his showroom. Bachelor's pad... tambay kami dun hanggang umaga. Walang tulugan kasi wala ding inaantok. Pusoy dos at kwentong walang katapusan. May mga FYI pang shinare si alex regarding dating and the like. Grabe... from dates to pink nipples ang topic namin. While chatting with them, napa-isip ako... si Alex - businessman, si Rica - businesswoman, si cindy - concierge sa Heritage hotel, si Rollin - asst. pharmacist sa Mercury Drug, si Glenn - gala, Ako - CPA. Sa loob ng ilang taon, madami na ang nagbago. I was super happy to think na sama-sama pa din kami.

Inabutan na kami ng liwanag... nag-order na lang kami ng Mcdo bfast. Sama-sama kami kumain. We ended the reunion with happy memories and with the hope na mauulit ulit ang meeting na yun. hayyyyyy.....

SUDDEN THOUGHTS...

As I was walking in Ayala (after dinner), I looked at the Christmas decorations on the road then I said to myself... 'Christmas na.' I felt the sudden urge not to go back to the office but instead take a walk muna. I took the path to greenbelt. I entered the church (I listened for about 30 mins to Fr. Bob C.). Along the way, I thought of how my life has been this past year. I thought of my life as of now. I felt thankful because I have accomplished some naman. I also felt a tinge of loneliness. I thought about the things I feared. I thought about the things I fought hard for. I thought of the times when I became tired. I thought of the things I long for. I enjoyed the solitude and the feeling of being at peace.

Weird as it may sound, a part of me feels somehow melancholic whenever it's Christmas time (although it's my favorite time of the year).

i'm tired.... that's all.

The Unexpected

I just received a text this morning. I was affected but I tried convincing myself that I should not be affected at all. It's her life. It's her choice. I must admit that what happened to her is a total shock for me... I don't speak to her in my usual ways. We seldom converse.

When I learned of the news, I just froze... got my bath towel and pretended that I heard nothing. I never spoke to the other party ever since.

Does she hate me for being this way? I don't know but I'm sure there is a gap between us. A gap which is uncertain of being patched up. Why did I react that way? Maybe I wasn't prepared to hear such. 'What was she thinking?' ....

Am I sorry for acting this way? I dunno.... I'm just trying to see it in a positive way... Maybe this incident will make her strong on her own.... I hope... Now that there's the two of them.
