it tastes like you only sweeter
i'm getting flashback fever...looked through all three pages of multiply photo albums and can't believe it's been this many years past. I miss all the girls - sadrina, je, trina, jane, rachel...i bumped into rob last night and we spoke of "soulmates not meant to be" and how we've gone through one hell of a ride and we do admit we've gotten wiser (and older) in the process. And for as long as I could remember, I was the "imelda"...I couldn't drive or get anywhere and my friends always had to pass for me when we made plans. I survived with my dearest driver, Teryo who has now retired. He visited yesterday and I just jumped and hugged him. We caught up on the past year and what has happened. If there's any witness to my whole schooling life, my jobs, my relationships - it was him since he had to take me everywhere. Amazing he remember every single house we've been to like a photographic memory of roads and front gates. I miss him so so much. But of course, we all need to progress so now I can't survive without...my own car.

Nice to know how much people value your friendship. Whether its been three, four, five years. Like I said, hung out with Rob. Got to chat with Carlos one evening. Sadrina, in London, still keeps in touch. Also bumped into Cons last sunday and found out Wil has gotten married and is now in Canada. Amazing how so much happens - and not overnight.

Have we gotten so old that now we look back and reminisce about the good ol' days? Or are we just moving on to different perspectives? I repositioned myself to the other table last night to take part in more airconditioning and all the guys and I kidded about us being a certain age and it's different going out to these bars anymore. Whatever happened to Insomnia? or our apartment parties? Our beach outings? But all i could think of is, I wouldn't want to go back but I'm so glad I went through what I did and lived it up. Teaches tons. I just wonder if I had too much fun for too long. Late blooming of the desire for the stable and steady. Rob even reminded me that the appeal for us is not about the amount of skin you show and all these beach ready bods we used to be surrounded with. it comes when you talk to someone and they are amazing. Of course once in a while I still show up to work in a nice little dress that always gives me the lovely compliments "you're such a girl today! love it!" I love them too! which is why my dress closet is getting really filled nowadays...

Anns called me at the office yesterday and said I sound so happy now. Really? I didn't even notice and not even sure why. I had no stories to tell her. Don't know what happened in the past few weeks that could have changed my disposition, but don't explain don't complain right?

Last night I picked up my little bass baby and started practicing. Just when I got to figure out some notes, my amp just went kaput. Turned the switch on and off but it just konked out I suppose. There goes the new song. I might just drop by somewhere later to get it fixed. I took a leave from work today because...just because. And it's good. Think we deserve it once in a while.
I was able to stay out later last night with the guys and pass out drunk with no memory afterwards. Later i'll get to see Anns again and hopefully make it to the despedida in VC. Has anyone seen the Austin Powers room there?? It would be such a hoot!

Speaking of work...I've been consistently performing even with a 25% target increase from last year. Got commended on the good job yesterday and I am pretty happy with what's been happening. Very busy and sometimes scattered but overall - satisfying. Funny when I just tell my friends exactly what I do they think it's just so perfect for me and my personality. I think so too. It's nice to grow with it. I'm glad I never compromised my work ethic no matter what other demands from relationships expected. As Marts told me - your job isn't who you are but it is a part of what makes you.

Last thursday Pimpdaddymac and enz came over. We pigged out on CPK, Brooklyn and some stuff mom whipped up in the kitchen. We watched dvd's and bumped around the sofa of no return. True enough, we lost track of time and realized it was 1 in the morning and we all had work the next day. yeesh. still woke up and made it on time. I have just one more day to accomplish a month without a single late time-in. Keeping my fingers crossed! The first and last time I got a clean slate was April 2007.

Man, I really jump thoughts like a (yikes!) frog in the pads. This is what happens when you just take it easy and spend the whole day at home. Good for the stress nerves. Good for the peace of mind. Oh well. It's just gibberish but needed a play-by-play...cue song: thanks for the memories...Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad. In this crystal ball it's always cloudy except for when you look into the past...

    Yeah, "thanks for the memories...." reading your blog sure makes me reminisce about my HS days. It's interesting because my classmates do a lot of that in our egroups.
    Almost everyday, non stop. We've recollected about our teachers, their mannerisms and famous quotes; all the 'good' things we did in HS, how we terrorized our teachers and made some quit; how we've kept close and being there for one another despite our different professions and locations.

    You have a lot ahead of you. Leave the 'looking back' to the oldies, you will have your time, and the appropriate time too. Now is the time to continue to explore what's out there for you, with your friends and people you deal with everyday.....payong 'tatay' lang....

    But there's no harm in reminiscing...especially about the pleasant experiences....

    Just blabbing...

About Me

This is my world. This is who I am. And I'm not gonna give up myself to make your life better. And you want me to change. I can't get used to all you want me to be and I just can't pretend to be anyone else 'cause it's not really me. - Darius Rucker
