endings can be great sometimes

wow. last night's party was sooo great. It was wonderful to see my blockmates all dressed up for such a sweet get together before Christmas. The girls were in dresses and the guys in polos. We had beer and wine -- not too much drinks -- we were all pretty behaved. The food was great with the taco salad, pasta, and others. Tj's place is the best place to have party. Thanks TJ! The exchange gifts part went well. I got some things that were on my wishlist. :) So far, i have a favorite. (and those who know me really well know which one it is and who it came from. haha)

Last night's party was one load of fun. I think this is, so far, the best party the block has thrown. It was evident. Everyone was happy.

It was, nothing but perfect.

At the close of year 2007, we all have a wonderful 2008 to look forward to knowing we've built very strong relationships with each other. i'll be missing those guys over our Christmas break. I actually can't wait to see them again next year.

to more happy memories of the block and our coursemates, Merry Christmas! :)

It was great seeing her again after 12 years. that was one hell of a long time for not seeing one of your closest friends when you were a child. I'm amazed and very much happy that we can still get along after all these years. I was afraid that we'd have nothing left in common since when you're kids, all you really care about is if you can get along with each other enough to play. well, we still get along and i'm very much eager to still get to know her some more -- learn her likes, her dislikes, her habits, and others. She is one wonderful person and i'm glad that i got to meet her again.

Our meeting was a bit nerve wrecking for me. I had no idea what to do, how to entertain her, what to talk to her about. But (thank God!) it seems as if she had a good time, somewhat. I was only able to meet up with her twice during her stay here in the Phils. The first one was with mom, we visited them at Aunt Pindie's place at makati. The second time, i commuted to makati via trains with a friend who's an expert in the ins and outs of makati after class and met up with her at glorietta mall.

I'm very very very glad that i took the time and effort to meet her again. Everything was very worth it. Even though it was just for a short while, it was an amazing experience. I was extremely sad when i had to say goodbye. i wish it didn't have to be so soon. I wish her stay could've extended 'til Christmas break so that i'd have more time to spend with her. Nevertheless, i know there will still be other opportunities. We endured 12 years, i guess we can endure another number of them. :)

i miss you.

kara derthick, you better come back here.

plus plus!

here are other great things that happened tah-day:

-- i had breakfast with a great funny friend who wanted to make me feel better after that horrid first organic chemistry long test we trudged through last night.
-- Sci10 was a free cut!
-- i didn't feel sleepy in Chem class. i was actually semi-listening! and actually understanding a bit of something!
-- i was able to take a nap today. oh please i so needed a break a rest anything.
-- i got home early because mom picked me up an hour before training was supposed to end.
-- i just finished watching a DVD. :)

life is good so far. it's the weekend and I'm loving it. i just hope next week won't be so much of hell (then again, every school week is like it. no doubt about it)
oh well, i just always have to look at the brighter side of things. right?
