and celebrate we did.
some photographer took our picture during the event, and less than a month later, that photo appeared in an events calendar/magazine. amazing! of course i have a copy. for posterity, you know. maybe 10,15 years from now i shall look at it and smile at all the good times.
good vibes? hell yeah. thanks of course to claire. and bill, it was his first time to attend such an event. i hope he had a great time too.

post-tiesto
after (two) years of waiting, it finally happened. tiesto was here!
the party itself was great vibes of course. forget the lack of air-conditioning, the circumstances that hounded me before and even during the party, and other snafu. i had a blast, and that was all that mattered. it was great seeing friends there too. even before the party began, we were already hugging and smiling. it's like we all knew that no matter what, this will be one helluva night. and it truly was.
prior to this event, i said to myself that if tiesto played five tracks which i consider my favorites, then the the price i paid for the ticket would have been worth it. which tracks are these? in no particular order, they are: love comes again, break my fall, dance4life, adagio for strings, and in the dark. tiesto did not disappoint me. he played all these songs and more! even while writing this i remember how good it felt hearing those songs being played by the man himself. heaps of love to tiesto!
all is good with the world once more. hehehehe.

summer capital, here i come (again)!
april 5-7, 2008. my choirmates decided that for this year, baguio is the place to go! i can't wait to go, not because it's baguio (not really keen on going there on a summer weekend, a long weekend at that), but more of the fact that i have not joined the choir in any trips/gimmicks for the longest time. especially when they would go out of town. last year i missed subic. i also missed overnight trips to my friend's resort. to think it is just in the neighboring city! oh well...
but this time it's different. to show my eagerness, i already paid for my accommodation last week! now there's no backing up. not that i was intending to, anyway. so, what to do while in baguio? why, get laid, of course! hahahaha! fat chance of that happening, what with my friends and i sharing a room and all. come to think of it, it could be possible. there are lots of tourists, so more chances of hooking up!
before i hear, "slut!", let me say that it is only half-meant. of course, spending time with my friends would be my utmost priority. the tourist spots, i can let go of that. since i was there last year with my balikbayan relatives, i have no need, no desire to visit the parks, go horseback riding, etc. i could probably do some shopping for some clothes (ukay-ukay is the way to go!), if my budget would allow me to do so. and of course, the market. ah yes, the market. fresh veggies, fruits, meat. heaps of excitement! and the usual pasalubong snacks. choco flakes, peanut brittle, and my utmost favorite, good shepherd ube jam! heaps of love for ube jam. =)
i already told my mom about our baguio trip. hopefully she realizes that i am trying to make her send me money for allowance. such a funny word, allowance. i havent received one in years. but i definitely wont complain when i start getting one now.
ha. fat chance of that happening.

old friends, coffee, conversations
tuesday night (march 18). after watching my cousin in his recital for choral conducting (bravo, kuya chris!), i went straight to greenbelt to catch up with my blockmates. they were having dinner at banana leaf. i never confirmed my attendance in this mini-reunion, so i didn't tell them i was on my way to the resto. however, my "surprise!" factor was defeated when i arrived at the restaurant. they already left! i figured they were still together for coffee or something, but what if they have left? so i had no choice: i texted my friend asking them where they were.
and so i went to coffee bean. there they were! it has been so long, it's not even funny. initially there were seven of us, but two had to leave early due to prior engagements. so there were five of us left. three of which were doctors. the other one has a master's degree from the netherlands and is a professor at my alma mater. and then there's me. working in a multinational company. one of the most recognized companies in the world.
in a position recently "demoted", so to speak. sigh... nope, they didnt demote me, but rather my position as far as job grade is concerned. long story, dont really wanna dwell on it. i'll only end up attracting negative energy, so allow me to go back to my post.
it was so refreshing hanging out with my old friends. we were able to update each other with what's going on with his/her lives. whom we have been sleeping with (hahaha!). our exes, sex lives (or lack thereof). what's going on with other blockmates. reminiscing on the good old days. heaps of fun. most of all, it was very comforting (to say the least) to be hanging out with people with whom you are in synch. same wavelength, great minds think alike, that sort of stuff.
it also gave me a wake up call. it's not too late. i am still destined for greatness. no, i do not have a messianic complex. i just know that if i will it, it will happrn. if you build it, they will come. see? law of attraction!
meanwhile, i have to finish all my deliverables before the month ends. and i also need to prepare for transitioning, since i am due for transfer anytime soon. i am so looking forward to a new environment. not that i dislike the one i am in right now, but hey, i am always up for something new.
later.

Christmas Day
this year, Christmas for me was spent at home.
traditionally, my friends (my three best buds) and i would be trooping to the mall by Christmas afternoon. we would then watch a movie to show our support for the Philippine movie industry. to be honest, it is more of the reason that there aren't any other movies being shown, but my way of looking at it makes us look good. hehehe. anyhow, after maybe 4-5 years of having done this, it didn't push through this year. =( my friend rang me up shortly after lunch yesterday, and i asked him if the tradition will continue as normal. he said it is highly unlikely, as there are no movies worth watching anyway. come to think of it, i guess he's right. every year we would do the same thing - hit the mall, watch a movie, and curse each other for having been dragged out of our beds to watch that crappy flick. and yet we still do it, which is the main point. i kinda felt sad upon hearing that we wouldn't be watching at all. a little part of me suddenly thought that we weren't doing it because we have kinda grown apart. or, to be more specific, i have grown apart from them, as they still hang out a lot of times. you see, our night-outs would always be last-minute: a typical text would be something like, "dude, let's watch a movie and get a nightcap afterwards. pick you up in ten." and, most of the time, i couldn't make it. after all, i work in makati, i end up staying after shift just to finish work, and even when i do get the chance to come home early, i feel so pooped i wouldn't want to go out anymore. on weekends, where i got no work, i have made a prior commitment to go out with other friends. and this would be (again) in makati, if not in taguig. so i am always not around, and i think that they have gotten used to it already. i resolve to change that, especially now that the new year is approaching. i need to reconnect - with old friends, old skills/talents, etc.
at the very least, my Christmas was very lazy and relaxing. i finally caught up with my sleep debt, and man did it feel good! i watched cartoons (pokemon, yay!), played video games, read some chapters from the book which i could never seem to finish (i'm sorry, Christina Pantoja-Hidalgo - it isn't your fault, trust me), spent time with my nephew while he opened the gifts he received (a lot!), and ate ham. A lot of ham. Hehehe. My Christmas wouldn't be the same without ham. =)
