I had a date with my high school friends. Actually, it was our make up dinner for not attending the Shower Party for Rochelle last February 17. Our original plan was to dine at Northpark but since the food at Northpark does not meet the standards of our boss Jaspers taste buds, we decided to dine at Seafood Island. In attendance are Pongx, Edward, Alex, Jasper, Cecil, Jennie, Rochelle and me. Rochelle distributed her wedding invitation which will be on 10March. Someone asked, I do not know if it was Pongx or Alex, why the name Glued is written in the envelope that reminds me, I created a yahoo group for us and me and Rochelle named it as Glued92. Why Glued92? Glued because we were thinking of an acronym for us who have been friends since First Year High School. Ninety two simply because we graduated High School on year 1992 making us friends for fifteen years now. Whoah. We had a really superb dinner. Clams, Inihaw and ginataang fish, Kare-kare, Sisig, Pork. After dinner, we moved t...

Today is Ash Wednesday. I attended the mass at the office. And the homily was really nice. It says there, Do not give alms like the hypocrites do. They give alms in public for the reason that they want people to see that they are serving and reaching out to the poor. You can give alms in secret. Do not let your left hand see what your right hand is doing. Do not pray like hypocrites do. They like showing themselves that they are praying truthfully. You can go to your inner room and pray quietly. Do not fast like hypocrites do. You do not have to look gloomy just to show the people that you are fasting. You can fast secretly. Hypocrites do those things to show off. And they got their reward- Public praises. And it ends there. GOD see everything we do in secret and then He gives us our reward. And it is very TRUE. GOD sees everything people do in private. No matter how you read it, how you interpret it, It is very TRUE. That phrase left a huge question mark in my mind that made me analyz...

27 January I've got mail from her. She send the pictures of gayle from her celphone when she paid Gayle a visit sometime ago. Again, I miss her. I know she’s doing good. She called me up. She read my blog. I miss her too. She seem ok. I’m sad. Because I miss them both. 05 February I felt her sincerity with her email. And she’s right. Maybe I really have to let go even just for a while. I’ve been pushing it hard for us to be okay with everyone and everything. Maybe, it will really take sometime. OKAY. 19 Febraury OMG! I was teary eyed this morning during our General Assembly. There was this portion of the program where we were being serenade by the BCDA talents…(haha!) (which by the way, Merle was one of the original cast) with the slide show presentation on the background. The theme was family and friends so, there are pictures of the employee’s families and friends. Going back on the being sad and lonely, I was sitting beside Libay. While watching the presentation, she whispered, ...
