More than a week’s absence

I haven’t been updating the blog for 2 reasons:

1. I was hibernating because I needed to study for my finals.
2. Since finals was over, I was so giddy and excited I felt I deserve to slack off – including updating my blog.

But now I am back – since friends have been buzzing for me to spill.

Writer’s block

More importantly, I’m generally in a happy state of mind right now. There are a few glitches here and there, but everything is quite in its order.

My point? The absence of pain discourages me from writing. I didn’t want to admit this at first but I think this is true for me. The absence of pain gives me no reason to write! For the first time, I am running out of things to say. How unbecoming of me!

In denial

The paradox of it all is that I feel quite okay, despite the fact that The Buddy is leaving two weeks from now. Either it hasn’t sunk it yet or I am totally in denial.

It will be quite a loss – although he will only be gone for 2 months. The truth is, there is this slight chance that he won’t be coming back. It’s always sad to see someone go. Most especially this one.

There are some people I meet every now and then – where I would feel an uncanny connection. I can’t quite explain it, but there is that certain something. I felt it with Celiah – a good friend who vowed to be my evil sister for as long as we live. We don’t see each other very often, but when we do, it’s just like we never really parted.

I felt it with The Best Friend. I felt it with Tran. It’s not just the same beliefs and value system. It’s like meeting them and feeling like knowing them from somewhere before.

Now I felt it with him. Screw what other people say. It is nowhere near romantic. I can’t call it platonic either. But I know the connection is there – just like how Celiah and I believe that people in our lives are like shards of glass that complete one mirror, our mirror.

So cheers to The Buddy. I will miss him – terribly, if I may say. May he not forget my chocolate chip cookies and all the goody stuff I asked him to bring me. Hehehe.

Finding The One

The Buddy said things happen for a reason. We meet people along the way while we journey through life. I believe so, too.

A lot of my friends are getting married this year. A lot of them also got hitched. Congrats to Jovan and Dan. Jovan, may pangako ngang taglay ang 2003 para sa iyo.

And for those who are still waiting, be patient. You are not waiting in vain. It might not be the time yet but I’m sure there is someone out there. Some people might think they’ve been single all their lives. Lucky you. Not that I’m complaining, but I feel like I’ve been hitched all my life. Most friends know the longest I’ve been in between relationships was what – 3 months?

So enjoy single-blessedness. It happens for a reason.

Calling on Bangus and Babs – I hope you’re reading this! Hahaha!
