minsang isang party

yesterday, i felt both guilty and pathetic when i saw a number of gifts on my desk from my officemates. guilty because i haven't gotten anything for any of them and pathetic because i have two days left before we take our christmas break. and what makes it more pathetic is i've had like at least three trips to mall already. i swear, this is the most tiresome and longest christmas shopping series in my entire life.

anyway, i was supposed to meet up with my absi friends last night for a small christmas get together. and you guessed it right, i STILL don't have presents to any of them. luckily, work is almost non existent that i decided to take the afternoon off to, once and for all, finish my shopping. or so i hoped.

good thing minmin was also in mega that time, so she was able to help me with my
shopping. as i was picking out gifts for friends and officemates and realizing my credit limit is quickly decreasing at the same time, for a while there, i cursed the priest who officiated the mass last sunday for he talked about seizing the moment and give, give , give this christmas for who knows if it would be your last or any of your loved ones last. now who wouldn't be panic-striken with that?? i wonder if he is in anyway affiliated with the Sys or the Ayalas.

the meeting time was 8 pm and at 7:30 pm, minmin and i were at the FoodCourt deeply engaged in wrapping the gifts we bought. boy did we look funny. we were wrapping so fast we were like pros. hehehe. so anyway, we realized that we had to head to the meeting place already.

i won't be giving details how minmin and i walked the whole perimeter of mega A as we search for a cab. and how we were ridiculously laughing the whole time.

as expected, our mini party was a blast! i miss these people. i miss being crazy with these people. i miss how we feel anxious whenever the bill arrives and how we EQUALLY divide it amongst ourselves and how we always end up with either of these two scenarios (1)tec or julie always paying more or (2)all of us surprisingly "earning" in the process. haay.

sad how only 3 of the 8 people (including me) who were there last night are the only ones left in our "home base". well, i feel both happy and sad, i guess. because most of them are pursuing what they really what to be. some of them staying and waiting still. as for me, well...let's just say i'm slowly moving on.

but then again, i will always be looking forward to these get togethers with them. and it hit me just now, hindi ko lang pala sila kaibigan, kapamilya ko sila.

oops have to stop now. lump on throat slowly getting bigger. =(

ps.

good luck mike. i know the samurai in you will always shine through wherever you go.
