Friday Off

I started my day checking my emails and websites. The afternoon was a date to meet up a friend. I hang out with Odette 1pm in her place. We talked and lunch out at Buca de Beppo. I was shopping with clothes while she helped me chose what could be helpful for the occasion. Her advice is absolutely right and I bought a dress and a sweatshirt. She was fun to be with. No pretenses just being with ourselves.

Just now I am a little bit dizzy from the strawberry raspberry margarita I drunk from Chili's which is just 1 block away from our place. My husband and I dined there. I was craving for barbecue. I got a combo of Half baby back ribs and grilled lemon shrimp it was good. There was some left over. I asked for "to go" box again. I always ask that every restaurant we dine at.

I have to go now. I am quite tired and my eyes are a little heavy. The tequila is working on me. I will say good night and will see you again next time.

A talk with a friend

I have this cool friend Ji-ann. I've known her from friendster. I saw her from one of my friends network and I had made the move to know her. At first I just sent her an email at the site hoping she could be one of my friends list. Eventually, we both added our account and we started our friendship. It was like May last year if I was not wrong. Some months past with a very good conversation on the phone, we've decided to meet. The instant we saw each other, there was this connection that we can really be good pal. From that time on, our lines of communication is very open. Sent email, text messages and so on we click.

I invited her to met and know my friends and all of them like her company. How can you not like her when she's very bubbly, spontaneous, thoughtful, with so many good things you can describe about her. She's such a dear close pal of mine and I am happy that she became friends of my friends too here in the bay area.

When I spoke with her yesterday, I asked her about our friend Josie. With the unusual course of time something came up with the latter’s personal life that her family decided to resettle back to San Diego. It is much farther away here in the bay area but not so far. An hour plane can be easily arranged but only time can tell when. But there's now a reason to visit SD because she's there and she's a very good friend. I am just too sad about this and Ji-ann is very comforting. She's just one of a kind that I really treasure and she will be for keeps that I could guarantee.

My Bestfriend

I’ve known her for 2 decades or more probably. We’ve grown up together in the same neighborhood and we had common friends. When we were younger, we we’re not attached for she went into a school different from where I was studying. The only common thing we had back then were the friends we had in the neighborhood. Her brothers and my brothers were good pals too. Oftentimes, we saw each other but we never really got into deeper friendship. We will just be saying hi and hello and other than that, it was nothing.

When we became teenager and younger adults, our path crossed at our town fiesta and at some occasional parties of common friends. Until one time, I made some connection more with her family when I got to know one of her brothers beyond friendship. Though it didn’t work out, I respected her family so much.

We get to know ourselves more deeply, when she was attached to my brother. It was a good thing and a blessing at the same time. With the start of that, our friendship blossomed. We grow fond with each other until this very day. I might have lived far from her today, with the help of messenger over yahoo chat and other friendly website our communication goes on. I recently went home and I was so glad to see her once again. Seeing her makes the loneliness gone but right now since I am here in the US and just chatting with her online, I miss her more. Someday, in God’s will, if I can retire soon we will hang out more often.

Here is the current picture I have with her. When I miss her, I take a look at this picture and put some loneliness away.

Santa Cruz, Ca - Easter Sunday

One of the things I love doing about is going to the beach, smell the ocean breeze and feel the warmth of the sun. I am not fun of sun bathing but I just love the touch of the sea air against my skin. I could just remember the town I grew up in Cebu where it's 1 kilometer away. Another way to put to measure the distance is riding a three wheeled motorcyle we called "tricyle" for 5 minutes. It could also depend on the number of stops the routes each driver will do. But the most could be 10minutes which is just very close.

I had spent my day last Sunday with great friends. I visited Santa Cruz for so many times but the visit over the weekend was the first one that I had with friends. It was very nice, full of laughters and giggles. It is a very unique way to spend Easter. We had spent it last year at a park but this time we had a beach theme. It was perfect.

I captured myself with how solemn and nice the beach is. Here's me and the beach.
