Nasaan ang kwento?
Tons of work at the office, and probably our first graded recitation tonight in class, for which I am so unprepared. Still, I find myself here, procrastinating.
Besides, I said I’d be back with more "kwento" from my last Palawan trip. Somehow, I haven’t been able to get around to it. For one, I really hardly have the time, and for another (and this I’ve told a few friends), I am still finding it difficult to just blabber on about my life. I’ve never really been the journal-keeping type, mostly because I’m really supremely lazy. Besides that, there’s something about publishing stuff on an online diary of sorts that makes me hold back, though mostly, I think this is because of the fact that I see myself as an unbearably boring person these days… I mean, who really wants to hear about the trials and tribulations of a struggling law student/NGO worker, right? This is why so far, I’ve only posted my (supply your own adjective here, please)-attempts-at-poetry and also some articles I’ve published before.
Still, as a friend pointed out, the space is there anyway, so I might as well make use of it. But please, let me ease into this thing…
So, what to talk about?
Oh yes, I just recently celebrated another birthday. At sa lahat ng bumati, pumunta, nakaalala at nag-text o nag-email o nag-friendster message: Maraming salamat! Special mention kina Jae at Vince at ibang mga idol sa Akbayan; to my soulsister Alia and her honey Boch (who really enjoys agitating the tibak in me… hehe); sa tropang Xaymaca, lalo na kina Francis at Aying; sa aking pinakamamahal na mga "kababayan" mula sa Puerto na sina Lem (who is about to prove that miracles do happen by giving up his treasured singlehood and unlimited right to party), si Jay (na lumuwas pa galing Dasma), at siyempre sa Diyosa ng Palawan — si Rambie "She’s Very Gorgeous" Lim (love this girl!); and of course to my lifelong superfriends Joyce, Xtn, Mitzie, Anna and Lia (Anna and Li, you were with us in spirit, right?), especially to Mitzie for bringing Aidan, that little boy who makes being Ninang one of the best jobs in the world! (Superfriends, my wishlist remains unheeded… hehehe!)
Anyhow, as for the Palawan trip… Well, it was, in a nutshell, just what the doctor ordered. Kalipay was magical, surreal even. The trip should make for one entry, though. A paragraph won’t do it justice, so let me chew on it a bit longer. In the meantime, just check out the photos muna.
Speaking of Palawan, I’m again due to be in El Nido by the end of November. It will be for work, but still, I feel lucky. Only downside is that I’ll probably miss Lem’s wedding. Honestly, I wouldn’t have minded trading the trip to El Nido for staying in Manila for that, Lem being a dear friend and the event promising to be a truly memorable one with the whole Puerto mafia coming to Manila. Oh well, sana makahabol pa rin ako…
Haaay. It’s almost 3pm and I’ve only accomplished 10% of my tasks for the day.I Guess I’ve procrastinated enough. Better get back to the things I should be doing…
