letters and memories

one of the things i planned to do this summer break is to clean the cabinets and drawers at home. this morning, i was cleaning one of the drawers when i came across the letters sent and notes given to me during my college years. i reread most of them and they came from only a few people - olive, ate con, jean, pia, sister nancy, peachy and some groupmates. while reading them, i couldn't help but smile and remember the times when they were sent/given to me. as in i was literally grinning from ear to ear. i am assuming that i have sent/given these people letters and notes too. i am not sure if these people have kept them because for sure if they reread them like i did mine, they'll be grinning too.
i grinned the most at the notes given to me. these are notes wishing me luck in my exam or speech, notes of appreciation and thanks, notes of angsts, corny notes.
there was this one from ate con during her BA114 days, full of frustration over our not being able to meet for quite sometime because of our conflicting schedules (her very busy one actually). mind you, cellphones and texting were not that popular during those times so there was really no way for us to communicate much except for these notes. i wonder now if we had texting then, things would have been easier don't you think?
there were also notes from pia and jean, just notes wishing me goodluck and reminders for our gimmicks. pia and jean, together with dax, were my closest friends during those days. we were known as the powerfriends to many.
there was even a note from this groupmate in my rizal class i think. her name is cha (i can't even remember who she is, hehehe) and she was telling me about her frustration over our report not being that good because of something that happened and that whatever it is that they've seen was not even 1/4 of our preparation.

communication nowadays is easier because of texting, unlimited texting even. however, i am still thankful for those times when face to face communication was at its best. and i treasure those letters so much because they remind me of those times, those good times.
i haven't communicated much with these people nowadays but never will i forget them. they were and are part of my life and they will always be in my heart (even if i don't remember that groupmate, hehehe).

two persons, two great friends

i could have just written this post with the tv series addict blog, but i chose not to because i just want one separate blog as a tribute to these two persons. i've just proven that people who have met through the internet or phone and haven't met even once in person can be friends, really good friends. some time ago, i joined this investigative/guessing thingy sponsored by the philippine daily inquirer on the net. they had this situation where members guess what's going to happen next or who is the person involved and kinda solve it. they even had chatrooms for members. from this room, i met two persons, nath who is from davao and ??? (god, i can't remember his name. i remember he works at the ateneo de manila university). we exchanged cellphone numbers in the chatroom and there started our friendship. i lost communication with the one whose name i can't remember but nath and i never lost communication, either through text messages or friendster messages. there is ...

february 15

february 15. childhood imagination - this is a factory of ajinomoto at the nlex. dwarfs go into this giant ajinomoto at midnight, when there are no people around, to get the ajinomoto that we buy from stores. LOL! this is actually the new shape already. my childhood imagination was with the old shape.

happy new year

happy new year!!! i’ve been meaning to post since before the new year. however, there was so much traffic in accessing the internet maybe because of the many people who update their profiles and/or send their holiday greetings. plus, i had to delete many spam comments in my friendster blog site. i don’t really understand why they are there and they just keep on piling everyday. anyway, because it’s a new year, i will have a new year’s resolution. this is the 2nd year of posting my new year’s resolution. just read on my previous posts because i have mentioned this quite a few times and i even evaluated myself if i was true to the promise, hehehe. and i plan to continue doing it even if 2008 has passed. so for this year, i resolve to save. i have been working for almost 9 years now and i haven’t saved any penny. i have a bank account and all but there’s really nothing in it. i resolve to start doing this this year because i just thought that i am not getting any younger and i am n...
