After Fox Says It

October 25 always proves best with all the lovely experiences that it presents. I had the day covered. The rest of the month is also good knowing that it enabled me to pursue friendship and acquaintances in the highest fashion.

October 24, It was a Thursday when the height of celebrating friendship began. We went to Klangs place as I made up for the other night's absence. I didn't drink while she is in the house last Wednesday. Well, that was after we went to PMMS. That was also my first to enter the college and see how everything else is going on inside. That is because it's enrollment week. I have seen where Aizee, Gino and Kyle are spending most of their academic days. All flipped into memories as they leave the college behind and enter a new phase of life.

Going back to the overnight stay in Klang's house, here are photos of that wonderful night with friends. And this caused my head to ache the next day.

The next day I spent time naman with Ismael and Khristine as we shop around Festival Mall and ate in there too. That's wonderful experience.

Would like to greet Kristine Dote too as she celebrates her birthday today. I also would like to turn back the pages of this blog to October 25 2010 and see what's in there. We had fun in the river wit my old friends.

October 25 wouldn't be this great if I don't remember what happened in 2005. The day my barkada became complete and the day I met Lara after a long time of wait.

This is October 25. Also the birthdate of my Ate Jovy. How will we ever celebrate it less dramatic?

As We Count Days Before Christmas

We just have few more days before its Christmas. Nearly few more days also before the year ends. There are too many foresighted moments that will fill the entire entry if I enumerate them. Some of which had lasting impact on the very next year to come.

Just this Friday, the PMMS group headed by Dexter and Ron celebrated the end of their semester with an overnight swimming in Circle Island in Dasmarinas. I had one of the greatest moments there and even before that as I go back and forth from Manila to Laguna. The day started with me traveling to Manila after attending a mass in San Pablo in honor of Saint Luke.

It is noteworthy that we went to Aizee's place for the first and there we prepared some food which will be consumed at the overnight. I wasn't able to stay longer. Just enough to fill my self with lasting memories. I have to catch the 2am ride and go to work at 3.30am and that is sharp.

There is a lot of happy memories before that. Receiving my first pay and going to SM and Puregold with Ron and Aizee to treat them. To spend quality shopping time with Mom as I buy her the things they need in the residence. That same day as we commemorate Lola's death day.

To watch Quen's movie for this year which is an offering in lieu of the 20th anniversary of Star Cinema. I was so happy I was able to do these all even in the midst of the hectic working schedules. Rain? Not so much of a mess this time.

I have so much in store for November but you see the Holidays are just around the corner. If I get myself caught up in the middle of these events, I might lose the gear to get up. Of course, we remember Mei and the promise of making it up to her once we are getting paid already but regret comes our way as our schedule don't meet to set up even just a date for Mei to congratulate us.

In the end only the way I set the schedule can make up for how anecdotes could be written. It may not be as organized as it once was but definitely more colorful that it was before. And sincerely, I am liking it.

Brilliant Musing

Today I just receive my first pay. Supposedly the payday must be tomorrow but since tomorrow is a holiday, it was advanced for today. Finally, the feeling of having my own money. I missed this. When was the last time? 2011 was the last time I received my salary for employment. The first one was back in 2006 when I had my tenure in SM South Mall.

Now I'm back to SM South Mall to withdraw on my ATM. I was with Patty, Benson, and Ismael earlier and we just celebrated our first payday.

Honestly, the days are getting harder. Schedules are getting riskier and I know it can't be back to the same way as when I was having my grand hiatus.

My friends enjoyed my treat when I came back home. It is always a celebration at the boarding house. Their classmates are there playing cards and user games on Ron's laptop. Too bad, Aizee is not around today to celebrate the day with us.

Anyway, it is still October 14. Whether I have the money or not, we'll have to celebrate meeting the Empress 9 years ago when I visited her at the old campus. Things are pretty much different now after what happened that day. Nobody ever thought of this to happen. I knew we were separated then by a distance but never knew it would be this hard for the two of us.

For the longest time, I tried making October 14 as special as it can be. 2010 I went to San Pablo just to hang out and celebrate what happened 2004.

Tonight, the day is ending just as any other ordinary day. I didn't put much effort to make it extravagant. It is in my heart that I find the most special and things will fall into places as we follow the ordinary.

When I go to bed later, it will only take three hours of sleep and welcome the new Tuesday as early as 2am. The shift will start at 3.30am and things will go its ways without even remembering how special October 14 used to be.

Wherever she is... She must be full of joy. Never forgetting how special all the days I had with her until now.
