Awkward… Awkward…

I am so excited to go back to ParaƱaque for Papa got home tonight! He just finished his 10-month contract as seafarer. Since I had Speech 165 this afternoon, I would just be free to set off after I would be able to present our radio production intro.
But one thing caught me oblivious today… It is my orgmate’s birthday! Oh my! If Lea did not greet him, I would not know. Stupid me! I never told him that I was not aware that it was his day, so I just sent him an SMS birthday greeting. After expressing gratitude through text, he invited us to come to our favorite booze session venue. I was undecided at first for I really wanted to go home ASAP. But after being so silly not to remember my friend’s special day, it is but right to spend my night with them…
We were having a good time when the celebrator (yes…celebrator…not celebrant J) announced that some of his brods were coming. Well, I did not care. As long as we have gin-straw or gin-grape on the table, everything will be fine at Drew’s. But I felt uncomfortable when somebody arrived. I was really out of my depth. Despite the fact that we have been introduced before, we never spoke with each other… Neither just a simple ‘hi’ nor ‘hello’ was heard from him or from me. We did not even bother to exhibit just a smirk to catch each other’s attention. This, by some means, mystifies things for me…

Surprise!!!

The College of Arts and Letters Student Council had a semester planning last Saturday. Although it may sound so serious, we still had an ample time to unwind after scheduling the coming term’s activities. Xenia, one of my co-councilors, knows how to read tarot cards. Hence, I took advantage of the opportunity. According to my cards, which Xenia has interpreted, someone who has long been out of communication with me will touch my life again. She also added that in one of this week’s days, this person will begin his role as my soon-to-be romantic partner. Hmmm…it sounds interesting. I am aware that what Xenia has told me may not happen. But who knows?
I was so conscious of whom I was interacting with recently. But none of them satisfies what Xenia was explaining. Since the week is about to finish, I just thought that the cards might be wrong. However, at exactly 1:01am today, I received an SMS from one of my bygone crushes. All of a sudden, he becomes curious of what is happening to my life! I admit that this shocked me. But I do not want to look at this as that of what Xenia was pointing out. I just want to take this as something that ensued out of the concern of an individual for a long-never-seen friend.
I do not want to make a fuss out of something simple… I mean, I do not want to misinterpret occurrences anymore. He was my crush, and that’s it! He is now a friend that must be cherished just like my other buddies. Thus, it appears that someone must have missed something in translating what my cards wanted to say. Hehe! But I will still try it next time! Why not?!?! It is fun, isn’t it?

One-Time SeaBest Financer

This is a satisfying day! It is not because I felt rich for giving some of the SPECers a treat in Seattle’s Best, but because I finally resolved a misunderstanding (which I, myself, am not even aware how it went off) with a friend. Truly, silence just has to rule everything. We need not to articulate our grievances nor our apologies. A simple smile will straighten all the concerns out…
I hope that SeaBest sessions will be carried out habitually for it helps me to relax and to appreciate life. But I promise not to be the financer next time. Hahaha!

ParSci Peeps Day

Sir Dids kept on telling us before that although an individual would find new buddies, high school friends would always be the most precious friends one would have. True enough, though we do not see each other often, my high school friends have always been there for me. So in spite of our busy schedules, we try our best to get together once in a while to share some stories and to reminisce the good old times.
Today is the first day of enrollment for the 2nd semester of AY 2006-2007. And as graduating students (yehey!), we are prioritized in the registration. This means somehow bidding goodbye to long and presumably never ending lines. Thus, I and my high school classmates in UPD agreed to have lunch together, for we can get done with our enrollment easily. We had several choices of restos and fast foods where we can take our lunch, but we chose to go to the Beach House, the premier barbeque seller of the University of the Philippines (Diliman). Why? We just thought that we have not eaten there for quite a while already, and that we must enjoy the features of UPD for we will soon be leaving it (sigh!).
Our lunch was really fun! We were so noisy for all of us was so thrilled to share and to hear each other’s words. We did not care if everybody was already bothered by our loud chats! Hahaha!
It seems just yesterday when we, unaware where to find a specific building, were strolling around the campus. But we are now down to our last semester as college students. I do not know what to feel…
