Some Things Never Change
Sunday, April 02, 2006

After 1 million cancellations and 3 years later, SCAPE girls finally went out today. The original arrangement was brunch ala SaTC over at Pancake House in Alabang (that nice building across ATC, near Pacific Village). So there. At exactly 8:40 am, I was off to the south.

First we did have brunch as planned. No pancakes. If it wasn't for Susan's gimmick-ng-mga-lola-ang-breakfast-sa-labas-pag-Sunday-while-reading-the-newspaper remark, it could've been a "pack up" at around 10:30. Hehe... Kidding. Since we were somehow (somehow being the operative word - we were just looking for a good place to lounge in, chat, and yep, being the camwhores that we are, take pictures! *wink*wink*), we had coffee at Starbucks. That and nonstop talking. Typical of us. Perfect.

Stories never stopped flowing, the range of topics being: highschool batchmates (who married/in a relationship with who, where this and that went after grad, etc.), old flames, old teachers, songfests and sabayang pagbigkas (Ems, Susan played Iska! Haha. Fave ko pa din yung 2I nagkakandarapa umakyat sa stage ng lecture room for the Africa thingy presentation.), future career, lovelife, and family plans, and the list goes on and on. Imagine 3 years worth of updatesand chismis.

To justify what I said in the above subject, I would like to site exact observations:

Susan still had that infectious laugh - that contagious laugh na you can't help but mahawa. She's still miss prim and proper, with the perfectly shaped eyebrows, mataray look, but nevertheless sweet smile. Witty-funny comments will forever be her trademark.
Celes: the lady with not a mean bone in her body. Nag-shrink man sya to the level na comparable sa little kid students nya, she's the same super caring and soft-hearted person. And... kuripot pa din sya! Haha.
Almay, minus the now baboy body, is still the mainarte girl. I wouldn't go into details na kasi blog ko ito... =)
Pia.. is uhm, in Singapore na e. It's been a long time na rin since I heard from her. Pia JOY, if by any chance you get to read this, let's just meet up when you visit sa Pinas.
Emily is same-o-same-o. She's the most often I get to see (hel-lo, room mates in college???) and I've seen her "grow" over the years. Kumbaga, nasubaybayan namin ang isa't isa so I can't really say she changed much. Except that one-man woman na sya. Relax, Ly-Ann. JOKE. =)

On the contrary, there are a few changes din naman. We know how to drive na. We have our own money. We can go out without having to ask permission from the rents. We're allowed to wear as much make-up as we want (although we prefer not to overdo it.) We live in different worlds, meet different people, have different experiences everyday. Despite all that, there will always be THAT thing. I know in my heart it will go as far as engagement parties, weddings, baptisms, kiddie parties, and eventually, reading newspapers together on Sunday mornings. Luv yah girls! *kisses*

Looking forward to May 6?

almay here. i'm 25 and act like it when the stars are aligned. i'm currently attached (and loving it!) to the most spoiled big boy in the world aka jax. i'm an augustinian and an iska. i'm not a party person, more of the dinner-coffee type. i miss dancing though (it's been ages!). i'm a self-confessed crybaby and drama queen. i talk a lot, often even in a language only i could understand. recently, i've turned into that boyish kid. i love cars. i like driving, sometimes alone when i want to get away and think. i have a sweet tooth. give me chocolates with almonds and blueberry cheesecake and i'm yours forever.

(someday soon) i'd like to: swim in the pacific ocean. ride a hot air balloon. be (and drive) in a real racing circuit. sing with a band. have a month-long vacation without having to think about work. see the egyptian pyramids. lie in a bed of roses, literally. climb a mountain. have my own butterfly garden. complete my bath and body collection. finish reading the Bible, cover to cover. be in the set of grey's anatomy. go on a totally unplanned road trip. learn three other languages.

"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."
