nonexistent / nostalgic
Well it seems my supposed day of relaxation and sleep became a day of disaster. it all started last night a few minutes after i posted the blog entry before this.
Enter my 24 year old siter with my neice.
Of course I know what happens next.
So besides cleaning the house, I have to take care of my adorable neice, rendering me unable to attend the awitan practice which was supposed to be held that Wednesday, which only, came to my knowledge after I already agreed to take care of my neice.
*sigh so much for catching up on my chores.
Well the neice is gone now, and I’m all alone, after giving the bottom floor a quick cleanup I started with my parent’s room, then to my room. I’m not finished yet, but I thought resting while writing a blog entry should be a good time saver.
When I logged on to friendster, I saw a high school friend sporting a new picture, and boy has he changed! So I looked at everyone else’s pictures, and the faces that we’re embedded in my memory some three years ago, have drastically changed.
Most of them became more beautiful/handsome, I guess that’s what maturing and dermatological clinics do to people.
Suddenly I get to imagining what we used to do back in high school, now, its hard to imagine those kikay/macho faces ever doing those stupid things anymore.
It has been three years, who would’ve thought. I’ve been in UP three years, and it has been more than a year since I got together with my old high school friends. It’s as if we didn’t even meet.
Will this happen once I graduate college?
I see my parents now, it’s as if they don’t have friends from when they were studying.
I remember vowing never to do that, to always stay in touch, even if my friends get sick of me.
But now, it seems I’m on the path that my parents took when they were young.
When was the last time I texted ____ more than just a quote?
When was the last time I asked them out on a gimik?
When was the last time w talked personally, or even ont he phone?
When was teh last time we saw each other in person?
Any answer to those two questions would have the year 2004 or less, very few with May, 2005.
I was supposed to arrange the batch reunion, but with the hectic schedule, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do that.
It’s hard not to be too nostalgic, after all I was the resident camera brigner back in highschool, (di pa uso nun ang digicam) and as I look at the pictures, I’m wondering why I never took more. surely a measly 170 bucks for developing is worth less than memories that would be gone forever.
i currently have about 300 nice pictures from fifth grade to fourth year high school, a few from after 4th year.
New year’s coming, just a few seconds ago I heard a "boom", meaning my firework-freak uncle just tested one of the "bomb shells" (y’know those P500 each fireworks that go up into the air and turn into a circular shower of different colored lights) that he just bought from Bulacan yesterday. There’ll probably be about 20 this New Year plus minus a few fountains and other Chinese firecrackers.
Will we have a Christmas party again this year like we did the last? Will we even get together for Christmas? Will they rememebr my birthday come February? Will they go on next year’s fiesta? Will I ever see them again? *Sigh, we’ll never know.
