It felt real good to relive a part of me I don't get to make use of in my new world...
- the carefree Shengoy who laughs at the littlest things.
- the careless Shengoy who says whatever is in mind and will not be afraid of being rejected because the truth is what her friends would want to hear.
- the uber kulit Shengoy who can just be clumsy and childish, and get someone else's lollipop straight from a friend's mouth and just laugh it off and exchange lollies with her friends when her lollie's flavor is getting boring.
- the ultra poised Shengoy who wouldn't mind losing her poise just to do fun stuff with her friends.
- the kikay Shengoy who can be all maarte and mataray and maingay without the fear of being stereotyped.
These symptoms of me are still part of the person I am now.
I'm still the same Shengoy, only "different".
I'm still the same Shengoy, just with different manifestations.
But the little girl in me is still the same.
It's just that when you're in a different world, you are sometimes forced to become another (yet the same) person.
The world is changing and I'm changing with it.
But the past two days made me realize that despite being a different person in a different place, the presence of friends can make you feel and be the same person you are when you are with them.
And so, despite the busy schedules and different worlds we live in, I'm glad I was able to spend time with two of the people who know me way better than most people I know. :)
17 JULY '09, Friday
10:00AM - went to school
03:00PM - went home to change, went to Helsey's for the thesis.
06:30PM - met up with Raymund at Ayala where he "gave" me the chicharon he supposedly bought for me but ended up eating most of it on the way to Zyra's and left two pieces of it (just because he can't finish it off anymore due to his thirst) and gave it to Zyra.
07:10PM - went to Blue Magic and bought the anthrax baby gift for Zyra.
07:15PM - on the way to Zyra's.
07:35PM - arrived at Zyra's, met some new faces, ate a lot, danced, sang, drank a little, took lots of pics, went crazy, talked a lot, laughed some more.
11:45PM - bid goodbye but ended up taking more pics, and said a dozen goodbyes that turned into more talks.
18 JULY '09
12:10AM - finally went out of the gate, happy about the gathering, sad that it had to end, anxious to get to get back to Helsey's place for the thesis.
12:20AM - arrived at Helsey's and off to working on the nabitin na thesis.
08:30AM - ate breakfast with the thesis group, went home, printed the output, took a bath, went back to school, submitted the first part of the thesis, went back to Zyra's place after.
01:00PM - arrived at Zyra's place (again), had lunch, talked a lot, went up to her room, took what seemed like a 10minute nap, and waited for Raymund to arrive.
03:00PM - uber talked (as usual) and ate M&M's while watching TV
04:00PM - cooked lotsa popcorn, made iced tea. TV session.
06:30PM - left Zyra's place with Raymund, went to Paseo Arcenas to eat, dropped by Chains, looked at lotsa stuff, accidentally damaged a dog's eye printed on a mug (ooops!) and laughed so hard we had to go out before someone finds out. And oh, we were trying to keep our eyes from rolling over some annoyingly loud teenagers at the PUJ!
09:00PM - went to Ayala, wandered inside FullyBooked, played kiddie games at Timezone and hammered lotsa alligators' heads, lost over an air hockey game, felt like a kid and rode a kiddie ride and took pics, played some shooting game that made both of us scream in enthusiasm (haha), ate this uber indulgent chocolate cake at Postrio, took crazy pics, and talked more. (the talks Zyra would like to refer to as the convos that make us realize we are indeed getting older)
11:50PM - lights at the Terraces are gradually being turned off one by one. Postrio closed already. Good thing we were outside so we get to keep our seats.
19 JULY '09
12:00AM - been wide awake for more than 24 hours already. Another day ended. Still at Ayala till more lights went off.
12:05AM - we soon realized we had to go home already. Terraces is getting darker. We queued up for a cab, talked some more.
12:20AM - I reached home with both a smile and frown. Happy that I get to spend some time out from the world with my old friends and sad that I am back to the real world in a snap.
Approximately 16 hours spent with those two people truly made me feel like the old person I used to be. Sometimes, there is a comfort in revisiting the things that we love when we were young. And that's what I found: COMFORT. :)
Thanks guys! The three of us lived separate lives in totally different worlds when we left HS but now that the three of us are living in a world far from CDO, it brings comfort knowing there are familiar faces that brings the same ol' solace.
And that's when I felt that
I'm hoping to seeing more of you. :)
