Another Wedding


I have maintained a long list of dreams with my friends. The longest might be is with my UPIS friends as we have been together since we have not gotten our monthly visits yet. Some in the list were ignored. Some were missed. Some were still trying to be achieved.  But, finally, one, was made into reality.

I would like to think that every girl’s dream is to wear a beautiful gown and walk down the altar together with her equally lovely parents while her groom is waiting for her, crying.  This same idea was part of our dream list.  Hence, when one of us finally wore a white dress and was brought by her parents to her crying groom, I realized that one in the list is formally and inarguably marked with a big check. Apparently, it’s not me. It’s another friend of mine whom we thought would not go first. Well, that’s basing on our night dreams we have collected in years. 

So after a year of preparation and years of waiting, Lyn and Julie finally cut singlehood off. Imana, another friend of mine, arrived early. I came earlier than expected. Thanks to my forever-date. Shempre, we would never miss this kind of event. Ms. Purple Vida came better-late-than-never. Of course, we tried to be complete. Unfortunately, Lani cannot come home from the US. At least her smile can be captured through hand symbols. :p
G and I even won a game.  It turned out that the winner automatically receives the garter. Well, well, well.  So, he wore the garter on me as people cheered on higher-- higher. E mataas na agad ang pagkakalagay sakin. Sus. Walang kathrill-thrill. Haha.  Well, it was our first time to do that. That, meaning the garter. Haha again.

As usual, we drank tequila. Thank goodness she’s a friend because she continuously brings us drink with just a smirk as a chaser. Boo you. I think I got a little tipsy. Well, that’s as far as I remember though.

And so she has changed her last name.  I know, its not the only thing that will change on her. Imana and I always say—Grabe, Mrs. Na si Lyn!—I know there will be a lot of changes. Tsk. What the err is time doing to us? Well, I hope everything is for the best.

So Congratulations to the newest reduction to the heartbreakers. Good luck on your journey on the saying—Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang isang mainit na kanin na pag isinubo mo at napaso ka ay pwede mong iluwa. May you indeed make a good contribution to the nation’s population.

And for the garter, its still with me. Like me, just there waiting.

Random Thoughts

It’s a new year and I realized, I have not written my thoughts for quite some time now. Days and months have passed, and things are quite the same still. You know what’s different? The impact. These days, I have quite grown to live with the challenges in my life. But don’t get me wrong. I still cry the ugliest cry. I still bawl in the CR in a snap. I still shout while driving. I still feel worried. I still feel anxious that anytime someone from behind will stab me, literally and figuratively. I still feel the pain. I still am sad of things that happened and that were done to me. But as they say, you do not and cannot forget the pain. You just learn to live with it. Until now, no one has sincerely sent an apology or showed regret. I shouldn't wait, really. Maybe there will come a time that they will realize the scar they left on me. Maybe not. And I am still trying not to care. I’m persuading myself that because I have different views and practice from people I grew up with,...

Chacha of Camella Homes

Image
I am joining the bandwagon. Now, probably like you, the one beside you, or the one you saw yawning this morning (for so long as he watches television), I have become fascinated with Chacha Canete. Yes, she's the cute little girl in the Camella Homes commercial with the jingle bulilit bulilit . Admittedly, she’s not the cutest little kid television has ever shown, but, I think everything in that commercial seemingly befits her. I especially enjoy the scenes when she was walking with her arms tucked, when she was chewing her food and mostly, the one when she looked around and finally realized she’s in a bigger house. Cute cute!   How do you teach such young age to act naturally?                                               ...

Today

They say, you do not fully love someone if trust is not present. But what if you have grown to love someone altogether with the entire cast of trust, and, eventually, one of the casts breaks down? Again and again without remorse. Is love then questionable? My building of trust which took me quite a while to rebuild was again ruined by a very lame-hitting bat.   I don’t understand why such happened.   Outside factors believe that I may have been holding on tight. I would definitely want to refute that. Even this someone, would, I believe so. And even if otherwise,   I strongly believe that nobody deserves that.   And then again, I still cannot understand. You see, I am facing the altar in months. And on my road towards there, I need full force on my hands. If only I could pick up the broken glasses on my way there, I would. But then, it does neither take my way there nor months to pick them up.    I don’t even know if these glasses can be ...
