Here’s a little flashback of a planned event last Wednesday (20080820) after work.

Cef, came home from a month training that requires him to stay in Australia. We celebrated his home coming and of course to get our pasalubongs - which is the primary purpose of this get together. Hehe. We ate at Mom and Tina’s Bakery Cafe along Makati. The place is comfy, great country ambeince and a perfect place to gather friends. Sadly, we are only 6 and the other half couldn’t make it, or are nowhere to be found.

The following are taken in a coffee shop along Ayala Ave (except the 2nd one haha). We were waiting for my Papoi to pick me up at 12:00am. I’m Cinderella in real life, the difference is I have an attitude of her two step sisters.

The history of hugs and kisses happened in our freshman year in College. We were seatmates…. then history. We just get used calling each other the popular chocolates of Mr Milton Hershey.

Grace is pregnant and is possibly going to have lovely twins. Woooohooo! Congrats sweetie. It was Friday, and the three of us pigged out in Mann Yann, a Chinese restaurant in Makati.

Kaye was here last year then now.. How’s that? Miss you Kikaye! That’s me (sleepy), tinnie, shai, twinkle and there she was in white-gray striped tee.

Now here’s me and Tinnie messing around with the two couples.

What pains me most is that two of the best people in my life are hurting. One cannot answer my questions and one is seeking for my answers. The most appropriate and the modest thing to do is put yourself in the middle of these unparallel, sentimental creatures. Both are my good companions who chooses to see each other as more than friends. Now, both became a boa constrictor who wants to squash my head, punch my body and eat my soul. Both are asking for my help. Two different views, emotions and perceptions.

A storm broke the calmness of the sea
Flooded the rivers an destroyed some trees
Tears have fallen ’till drought came
And brought you nothing, nothing but pain
Leaves of roses have fallen and petals too
A broken promise and a trust to lose
These cloudy days came, and then there’s you
A butterfly of beauty, a flying canvas of hue
Like vincent’s hanging in a hall
A blooming flower in spring from falls
You’ve shown you can and proved you could
Swim gracefully even with a wound.

A simple poem, my friend offered me last April 2005. Just trying to recall events from the past. A past that shouldn’t been recalled. Trying to feel, to perceive and to have an instinctive understanding why things happen, worse, to feel pain.

Now, I can clearly see, past is just past where you learn to be tough and hard. Future is waiting. Present needs more embrace

A popUp from a friend..

——————————————————-

i admire your focus. galing sa isang taong napakaikli ng attention span, that’s a lot. my attention span is like of a 5-year old child. are you familiar sa old chinese saying na, “if you chase two rabbits, both will escape”? in my case, i’m chasing a herd of rabbits. i know that both of us have a lot of things going through our mind lately, but i think our difference is on how you organize it inside your brain.

base on our individual work loads everyday, obvious naman na mas marami kang ginagawa. you are the martha stewart of multi-tasking. i really don’t know how you can juggle all of those things in a day. i know minsan nakaka-frustrate na yang ginagawa mo but always look on the bright side. stress is a positive force in our career if you can harness it correctly. you have the making of a great leader someday. konting experience and fine-tuning pa and you’ll be ready to face bigger opportunities and challenges. one piece of unsolicited advice, slow down once in a while for you to see what’s really important in your life. it doesn’t make sense if one aspect of your life is doing good while the other is suffering.

that’s just my 2 cents worth. that’s what i’m lacking - focus. what i did here is one proof of my lack of it. well, thanks for your time. i have to get back to my work. i’ll pop you in after 5 minutes.
