Looking Back

I was reading my previous posts and I can't help but smile.  I have had this blog since 2004 and though I haven't been updating it all the time, it can still remind me of how the past years were. I just smile even more as I remember the happy times, and I laugh at the times when I felt like my world was crumbling down on me.  It was just like when I was younger, when I thought that life could be so unfair just because I can't go out with friends or if I had no option but to follow rules. Looking back allows me to realize how my problems could be so petty at times.  

So here I am analyzing how I have actually changed.  Maybe it hasn't been a long time for major changes but hey, I've started to do good at work.  Maybe I'm getting better... but I guess my luck is getting worse... Can you imagine, since I moved to our new place, bad luck keeps coming my way.  Vince was bitten by a dog( can you just imagine my agony, and of course his too), plus, I spent a real lot for his medication hoping for a reimbursement, but hey, my bag was snatched and so were the receipts.  then Vince kept getting sick( why? i dunno! must be the place) Coz if he's not sick, somebody else in the house is.  And my most recent... I lost my cellphone and I haven't had it for over a month!!! Wow!! good luck to me.  I have always thought that bad luck only comes in threes... Well maybe they do, every month.  --Just my luck!!!

Hopefully, this is one period that I would just be laughing about later on.  Well I'm quite sure of that. 

 

"the Breakfast Club"... that was what we called us.  It's pretty obvious why we called ouselves such. We have known each other for years and we never really saw each other as friends.  We were mere colleagues. It's funny how matters of the heart have brought us together.

January 2006, over cups of coffe at Starbucks, we have gotten to know each other.  There's Carol, the innocent.  Mack Yu,  the heart throb gay guy...Arlyne, the confused one and of course me. There were lots of revelations and it was funny how we could have the same emotions over different circumstances.  And despite our different opinions and preferences, it's funny that we actually "clicked". 

From then on, we were meeting up every morning.  It was fun and I was so happy that I have found new friends.  Though we don't get to do much, talking was enough to uplift each other's feelings. 

So much has came our way and it was getting harder to find time to get together.  We have to do with every spare time that we could share.  Gradually, we found new things to do and new people to be with.  And sadly, as how we started, that is how we seem to be slipping away. 

And though I know that we would never have those breakfasts anymore, I know that I could always count on them.

 

It's the One Place

A few months ago, I would rather stay within the confines of my room just staring at the ceiling or pretending to be asleep. But here I am alone in a restaurant and odd as it is, I feel comfortable. I dunno what it is in this place but it just puts me at ease with myself that I actually find myself enjoying every chance that I get to be here. I sometimes feel cloaked, as if I were invisible...But it doesn't seem like that when I am at Max Brenner.

I hear the soft music playing and its melody calms my troubled spirit. The mere presence of the crew keeps me company as they buzz around with their chores. The food is great too.  My favorites include the mushroom addiction, fish and chips, and belgian waffles. Not to forget the free chokishake that we get every week. I usually come here with cousins and friends and those were the times when I could spend the whole time just laughing my heart out. This time, I just think of my bittersweet longing for things in the past. Good thing is, I see myself smiling knowing that somehow i've moved on. 

I thank my cousins who have brought me here and for the chance that I have met new friends.  They are such good company and with them, I have found my old self again.  I have enjoyed the good times so much thatI find myself missing them most of the time.  It's only a casual acquaintance, but I know that I would cherish all the fun that we've had.  Though I've gone to many places I know that I would always come back to this place...It's the one place...
