random --believe me it is so XP

still remember me? hihi. :">

nothing going on in life that's worth blogging. --how boring can i get? :))
but, i guess boring is not the right word for it but busy. yes, i'm busy. i'm busy thinking and bumming out at work. :))

anything new? let me think of something. there should be, right?

(1) new haircut! yey. just had it this evening. my hair being unruly and all, it needs to be maintained. --though it is not close to looking like it is. XD
no one noticed. all they noticed 'bout my hair is that it's blow dried. =))

(2) had a new ear candy: coldplay. yes, yes! they're an old bad. but hey, there are a lot of bands/singers/groups out there. i can't hear them all, you know. :P

(3) finally bought my polaroid. yey! it cost me a lot, way out of my budget. but having it feels like it's worth it, hehe. one more payslip to go before i complete payment. XD credits to my mom's cc. hooray, standard chartered! X)

(4) what else...
o, this is something i just realized now. october is a celebration of friends. :D woot!
seen a lot of my close friends this month.
saw my hs friends --a happening that is second to the rarety of a blue moon--, saw my college friends --even if it is on random days --and just this afternoon, i visited my college to say hi to the boys and girls from the club. --more about it in paragraphs below.
tomorrow, i'll be sleeping over with my hs girls at some hotel and do videoke, cards and drinking.

o, october is great! :DD

(5) started holiday shopping too. :)
too early? well, this is how i do it. so that i can give to all the people i love and care for, i need to start early for my december salary won't be enough if i'll wait. hihi.

(6) i get to start on thinking about my to do list for 2012.
well, haven't checked all i have for 2011 yet but i like to start thinking about new things i want to start/have in life in case i'll be forgetting them by the time i need to remember them.

so, that's about it for now, i guess.

about visiting school this afternoon...


i was a member of a radio club back in college amongst many other things i do back then. our club is an active ham. we enter contests every now and then and try to outwit our scores from the previous year. we compete against all hams all over the world. usually, we land as continental champions if we work really hard. --i'm just bragging a bit there. XD hey, hard work deserves a little bragging. :DD

anyways, i got you over the introduction.

so, i planned to go for the said contest that is happening from yesterday 0800H PST to october 31,0800H PST. i txted my soul sister jeny, one of my batchmate in the club, if we can visit together. she agreed so there we were.

i was happy being in school. a lot of things are changing back there. i was surprised seeing our 4th floor laboratories being renovated and being polished and clean and all. it is weird. i had this nostalgic feeling while passing right by it. i always believed those dirty labs were our department's pride and honor. many battles have lost and won on those labs. and it being dirty reflects how hard working each student who were in there. --ok, i might be dramatic, but that's how i really felt. so seeing it in fresh paint and shiny floors really broke my heart. </3

i get to hang out at our ham shack and talked with some of the members about random things. they asked about work and how life is at the other side of the dream. i answered their questions with enthusiasm and wisdom. hihi. then i lingered at the tower for a bit. just there doing nothing before i went down.

finally met jeny after an hour and a half from our scheduled meeting time. then we were there talking to the boys about random. laughing and catching up. we bought them ice cream and also ate late lunch.

but, i guess i was practically there to spend time with jeny. catching up and talking about how old we feel. :)) ok, old is harsh. let me change that to mature. --yuck. X))

we talk about our relationships, we talked about our eating habits and food preferences. we did a little bit of memory lane and started talking about plans and careers. o boy, we were boring. :)) but those boring conversations is really where we are right now.
making plans to make things happen. to be somebody, to get to somewhere.

then we realized why we keep on coming back to school.
i guess even if we cannot stop life from letting us grow up and get mature, we still want the same things we say we wanted back when we were young and stupid. we are still hanging on to our old foolish but wonderful selves.

we may be attending a lot of baptisms, weddings, baby showers, office parties, reunions and all that. but, our feet is where it should be.

that visit reminded me of who i am. and i'm glad to realize that i'm still my old self despite that i can forget me sometimes. hey, honestly, clinging on to yesterdays are not bad. yesterdays makes us remember. remember what we had and what we wanted to have. sometimes yesterday is all you need to get back on track. and that's what i need for so long. today was a good day. :)

going home, we visited our school's old chapel. the warm feeling inside melted my heart. it just felt like it assured me that whatever is keeping me up most nights, whatever my worries about tomorrow is, whatever i feel like i cannot have, all those things will come my way. in it's time. as long as i will it and remember what is important. the small chapel made me feel that things will be alright. :)

*sigh*
