FULLY BOOKED IS LOVE...or not
Since nung madiscover namin to nila Honey at Che-Che sa newly-built-for-richy/feeling-rich-people-of-Quezon-City(and adjacent places) na The Block (SM North Edsa), ay hindi na ko naka-get-over. tama bang parang ganun ang maging reaction. although this is the first "fully booked" chain that i've been, wala na, panalo na talaga. iba pa rin ang feeling na nakukuha ko when i'm around books, much different when you're around with your crush. medyo nakakahilo at masakit sa heart na realization once na na-overcome na ang amazement. ang ganda kasi ng pagkakaayos e san ka pa! alphabetically arranged ang mga fiction and non-fiction books. mas maganda kesa powerbooks ng shang-ri la! Nga lang syempre, it costs a lot..especially for me na Booksale items person na eversince.
Kaya lang, since may nadiskubre na nga ang mga katulad kong bookies na bagong haven, meron namang bagong kalaban ang management ng bookstore na yun ngayon. e di kami! tayo! nung 2nd time na bumalik ako dun (after a grueling 109 exam) medyo nakatatlong oras kami ni kimi dun! Okay pa ang lahat. konti lang din naman kasi ang tao, pumwesto lang kami sa may carpet along almost every children's books, fairytales, etc..Basa basa ng comics series tulad ng Baby Blues (tawa lang kami ng tawa), Garfield, Dr. Seuss, tsaka yung pambatang novel ni Neil Gaiman. after nun e umalis kami pero bumalik din naman para magbasa ulit (hanlameg kasi naman!) at ayun na. sabi ni Kimi tinititigan na daw kami ng mga staff dun at pabalik-balik na kaming iniikutan. haha! kahit nahihiya ako di ko tinitingnan yung mga mama. Yaan mo nang si kimimay na lang ang makipagtinginan din sa kanila dahil wala namang pakialam yun at di mahihiya yun. :)
all in all, nakapag-stay pa kami ng another two hours dun kahit na ansama na nga ng mga tingin nila samin. bonus pa dahil nakakita din kami ng mga fellow UP studes na ikot din ng ikot. bunch of guys who are obnoxiously loud (kung di ko lang kilala yung isa dun talagang maaasar ka sa kanila) pero wag ka, nagkasundo kaming lima na masyado ngang masama na ang tingin ng mga staff saming lahat pero keber.
oh well, medyo matagal na din yun. as of now di pa rin ako nakakabalik ulit. baka kasi mamya may warning notice na sa labas ng store na bawal na kong papasukin in the future! haha. hello?? pangalawang araw pa lang yun. humanda sila sa mga susunod (kung meron man). buti ang NBS katips kahit bulok na mga upuan hindi nila ipinagkakait ang public reading.

the rain has stopped, the storm has passed..
and now look at what it's done to our already disaster laden country. Filipinos do not need any more tragedies such as Milenyo but maybe Someone's got something else on His mind when He permitted this to happen. All i can hope in vain is it better be good and it better show on people's attitudes on coming days.
I know what happened to Metro Manila, Cavite, Paranaque, Laguna, Albay, Naga, Daraga and everywhere else was terrible..pero wala nang mas terible pa sa dinanas ng aming pinakamamahal na probinsya: Sorsogon. Sana bumaha ang tulong. I can only imagine the total darkness in weeks to come. Nahihirapan silang ibalik ang kuryente dahil na rin sa lala ng sitwasyon. AHHHH..

the miles (or kilometres) you have to run for friendship
Since this happened last night (and i was still inspired to write then), i'll have to copy from my journal to retell (tama ba?) forthnight events. haha. so kumusta naman sa kadramahan?

tonight was another round of usual "up there" moments. Although everyone knows that i don't drink i am an ever present member. Tonight's drama was one of a kind. I realized though that:
*being sane or the only alcohol-free person can be tiring too (para kang may mga anak na saksakan ng kukulit at the same time nag-iiyakan pa!haha). But if you are with your friends, it's somewhat rewarding in the sense that it is the only service you can do for them for bringing you there in the first place. And yes, being alcohol-free has a great compensation too!!!) :)
*honestly, ----'s revelation wasn't that shocking nor even new to me anymore. probably it's because of the fact na bago pa man ang lahat na ito, tinanggap ko na sa sarili ko ang possibility na maging sila ni crush in the future. Sobrang nakatulong yun at proud naman ako sa sarili k na malinawa na yun sakin. nad that's that. Although may booze na involved at that time, pero c'mon, di naman ako engot para balewalain yung comment na yun. Subconsciously, matagal na din nyang naiisip din siguro yun, di lang nya masabi sakin ng normal sya. Pero ayos lang naman talaga. :)
*sometimes, there are people whose beliefs you can disregard for a day (or short time only). Who knows we might have been interfering an age-old belief of theirs, whether for good or for bad. But we have to take into consideration that we can't rush somebody into anything that we want them to believe. It'll take time of course, and hope in vain that they'll realize it soon before its too late.
*true friends will embrace you for everything that you are no matter how much you fall short, whatever you lack and even if you're too full of yourself. We might not see the need of proclaiming our undying loyalty to our friends regularly but it helps from time to time to tell them, to let them know (or feel) how much we appreciate them, how good (or bad!) we've become because of them and how grateful we are knowing that a loving and steady arms will catch or break our every fall. In this world of superficiality, your friends don't want to hear of grand or elaborate stuff to make them feel good...sometimes, the "little things" matter much more than just our great intentions.
so para sa iyo, na inspirasyon ng lahat na ito, ituloy mo lang yan. at least mas matutuwa kami kung may makikita kaming pagbabago sa'yo. be consistent kahit gradual, sabi ko nga sayo sa text. hindi mo ikamamatay kung aminin mo sa sarili mo na all this time, you really care for us. :)
