1.) A-DAYS IS NEAR!
I just had to say that. The next batch for A-Days with the Lord is upon us! Text/message me if you want to join the next retreat, whether as a first-time participant or a returning Dayzer looking to join in. My cell is 0918-3744274!
I always look forward to these. They're the recharge I always seem to need, no matter how hard things get.
OH YEAH! We're also looking for people to donate money to our community! Dayzers who pledge up to PhP 300 get a complimentary CD as our way of saying "Thank you!". :D
(And believe me, there are some songs there that are performed just flat-out outstandingly. Yes, I'm talking about you, Waps San Diego. And you, Carlo Santos. And you, Camil Labog, and Kyla Rivera, and Nikki Danao. Yeah, all of the both of you.)
2.) I'VE GOT A JOB NOW!
I got picked up by a company with an office along Ayala Ave (not telling you which). I write articles that you'll probably never read. They just help our clients get found on Google.
I promised myself that I've had enough of writing that does not feature my by-line. However, times are tricky. I've had to take the job just to stem the tide of me borrowing money from my family. Yeah. It got pretty bad there.
The job itself is a bit slow. (I'm writing in the office now because I'm almost done! 200 words left!) I sit. I write. I crack jokes with the teammates, who are fun to hang out with. The bosses are nice. I find food downstairs at luch, and I leave at 6pm when we are done.
What I never realized was a special fringe benefit of the job was Makati itself. I used to hate Makati and how hard it was to drive to anywhere and park. Now? I ADORE it. I love walking around Ayala Ave. on my way to work, and I love it even more on my way home. It's an amazing wash of activity and people, with so many places I could seek out and explore. I hadn't felt like that since I walked around Quiapo on my own for the first time (which I want to do again someday!).
Fine, fine. I'll get sick of the smoke and the crowds and the mean faces in the crowds, and the brutal queues at the MRT, and the buses that honk too loud.
But not yet.
3.) I'm caught in between two best friends.
Well, I don't know if they're even friends anymore. They've been at odds for a while now. And they're still both my friends. And I love them both (though maybe one, I love more. hehe)
Let's just say I'm not fond of balancing being friends to both. And it bothers me too that they act like the other doesn't exist. It hurts, considering how one has always been there for me, and how the other is the one who's around for me when I need someone and badly.
It's like having an eye to my past and another to my future. And I'm stuck with today, where they're not ever gonna meet.
And now, they're dead to each other, and I don't know if it's really my job to help them reconnect. I have a funny feeling if I brought them together, they'll either hate me or love me, and I don't think I can afford to lose BOTH of them. They're that hurt.
What do you guys do? Ever been in a similar bind? How'd you gets get there? (PM if you're shy.)
4.) BIRTHDAY PARTY NI MAY BUKAS!
What'll I wear? What'll I wear? It's only the first time I've ever tried to make it to her parties. :D
(Oh wait, you weren't told? Well TOO BAD. :p)
5.) I realized I'm drawn to people who need me. And I never hold anything back for them.
Because maybe, someday, they'll be there if I come to need them so badly too. And maybe they'll give me all they got too.
6.) My current mood might just be summed up simply with:
I don't want excuses
I don't want your smiles
I don't want to feel like we're apart a thousand miles
I don't want your attitude
I don't want your things
But I don't want a phone that never rings
I want your love and I want it now
I want your love and I want it now
Good night Metro Manila (and beyond) ! Sa susunod!
