Away from work

I somehow managed to mangle my blogger over this weekend, thus, the absence of my message board. I was attempting to overhaul it. I’m trying to work on my htmls, so watch out for the new blog. I lost my password to enetation, so I would only be able to fix it when I get back to the office.

Yes, folks, you read that right. I’m not in the office. I’m on extended break. Wooohooo!

8 stress-reduced, glorious vacation days!

I just came back from a day trip. Mom, sis and I went to Corregidor. I’ve never been there before so it was really nice. I like going to historical sites like museums and ruins. If a date wants to impress me, the secret would be to take me to places like those. I wish I could also go to Intramuros again since they have a lot of activities lined up for the summer.

Friends issue

Perhaps Ryan couldn’t take it anymore. The silence of our other high school buddies is deafening.

On the night of Easter Sunday, he picked me up at home. We went to a bar in Greenbelt and had a couple of drinks – ranted about quarter-life frustrations and disappointments. It was comforting to know that I am not alone in my crisis!

What’s more comforting is that I think I can go out with him now without having to worry about ghosts from the past haunting me. I think we’re cool as friends now.

And what do you know – Marc just texted this morning to tell everyone he had finished his masters in engineering already. There’s a party this Saturday night. I hope this ends everyone’s hibernation period.

I am tasked to bring wine – as always! I guess things are on the roll again.

Bye, Bud!

At 10:43 pm last Monday, his plane took off.

Before that, we spent hours on the phone until daybreak. He was asking how I would feel if he doesn’t come back. Will he be missed? Nah – I’m not gonna give him that. His ego is inflated as it is. He was betting he will be.

With a heavy heart, I called him half past six to say goodbye. He was at the Town Center, doing his last-minute shopping for Johnson’s Baby Cologne!

I told him not to forget his SARS mask.

By 10pm, I got a text message from him that he was on board. I was the last person he was talking to before he left. Touched naman ako. We were texting until the plane took off.

I finally gave in and texted him that he will be missed. Sige na nga. It’s just not the same – I got used to his company and his almost 24/7 availability when I needed some sense knocked into my stubborn head.

Enjoy your break, dude. See you soon.

Find me

Friends have been texting and asking – where the hell are you???

What can I say? I needed a break!

Wow – people actually cared.

You know who you guys are. Thank you for looking for me.
