It's his son's birthday tomorrow. They will be celebrating it in the province with their relatives. I wonder if he feels awkward being there at the same time knowing that the preparation was done by his older sister and brother-in-law (his son's adoptive parents). Or maybe he is used to it already.

--------------------

We are not going to the province since it is too expensive for us to go there for only three short days. It's been about seven years since I've stepped on Iloilo or Bacolod City soil. As usual, we will just light some candles and pray for our dead loved-ones. Then maybe my father can cook some "special food" tomorrow (food that always reminds us of our Lola's cooking). We'll see...

--------------------

Remember that former elementary classmate I met at Friendster? I think he just ignored my message and my "application" to be his "friend". That's okay. I cancelled the invite I sent. I don't bother with people who does not want to be bothered. Hah! (But it could have been nice if we got to communicate again.) Oh well. We can't get everything we want.

HAPPY



HALLOWEEN!!

Friendster

I created an account there due to insistent public demand in my workplace. It seems like everyone at work is connected to this site. I thought what the heck, it's just another internet friendly thingy, so why not. Unlike some people I am not that addicted. I don't make it a goal to reach 500 friends. I just wanted to keep in touch with friends and acquaintances since the world is an ever-changing place and who knows, I may not see some of my friends in person again. It's always nice to keep in touch.

Then one idle hour, I searched the gallery using the names of some people I remember from school way, way back in my high school and elementary days. I was surprised, a little shocked and excited when the name of my former crush in grade two came out. Imagine, grade two! I last saw him in 1989. Then I browsed his profile. I knew it was him. Let's see if he can still remember me.

Anyways, I also found another long lost friend and I hope he agrees to be "friends" with me.

Another bout of OPM...

IKAW LANG ANG MAMAHALIN
Joey Albert (Louie Ocampo/Joey Albert)

Sa bawat pag-ikot ng ating buhay
May oras na tayo'y kailangang maghiwalay
Puso'y lumaban man, walang magagawa
Saan pa, kailan ka muling mahahagkan

Kulang man sa 'tin itong sandali
Alam ko na tayo'y magkikitang muli
Hangga't may umaga pa na haharapin
Ikaw lang ang mamahalin

Puso'y lumaban man walang magagawa
Saan pa, kailan ka muling mahahagkan

Kulang man sa 'tin itong sandali
Alam ko na tayo'y magkikitang muli
Hangga't may umaga pa na haharapin
Ikaw lang ang mamahalin

Waaaah!

Radio's fine. It helps me forget for awhile. I look back and recall those days I had with you. Sometimes I need a friend just to make it through. Another day spent without you. You gave me all the reasons to live. Then you had to go and I just got to let you know. It's hard to love again just to make it through another day spent without you. ~"To Love Again", Sharon Cuneta

Now I'm singing OPM songs. This just means I am getting more pathetic everyday. That and those disturbing dreams I'm having these past few days. I don't know what's wrong with me...

Maybe because Halloween is near. Hahaha!

Scattered Thoughts

I think one of the worst feelings in the world is being taken for granted. Especially from someone whom you are willing to sacrifice your life for.

--------------------

Accepting a person means you also have accepted his/her past. Even if that person's past includes the fact that he/she will not give you 100% of his/her time and attention. But you have to live with that.

--------------------

I think I am going to accept a friend's invitation to watch a movie. It's been a long time since we talked. I know he is a bit jealous of this friend but what the heck, that friend is gay. I don't think that friend is a threat. Hahahaha! And I want to have fun even if he's not around...

Oktoberfest?! Heehee!

--------------------

I think I'm getting the hang of this change at work... I hope I'll survive 'til the end of this year... I still feel tired whenever I get home after work.

--------------------

I miss your love, since you've been gone. I find it hard to go on. The summer skies don't mean a thing. I thought I'd always be strong. I got a feeling inside and it's making my heart cry 'coz I'm missing you... and it's making me blue yeah. I'm missing you. What can I do, I'm thousand miles away from you... ~"Missing You", Meja
