Post Scriptum
It's been a while since my last post. A million and one things happened these past two and a half months, significant and petty, so to hell with a recap of the past events. Maybe highlights would be alright.
Ricio. He's finally here in the US with me, and I thank God for answering my prayers. When they say there's a reason for things to happen, I now look back and understand the reason behind failed relationships and unexpected turn of events. Because one of the best things that happened in my life was behind door #2, and thank God he led me there.
New Products. We've been working on several projects ever since he got here. It's been a LOT of hard work, physically draining, but it has been equally fun and fulfilling. The products bring a lot of promise, a lot of potential. Don't really know if it's right for me to compare it to having a kid (wouldn't really know how it feels), but these products have been a work of art I have fallen in love with. Our effort, our blood, sweat and tears poured in these products. And they're finally out. I just can't wait to see it fly. Because I know it will.
East Coast. I finally moved to the other side of the continent. Our new home. I never thought I'd miss the freeways and exits of California. Driving on this side of town is tougher than I thought. You can't just take the next exit and find your way back. It's bad enough that I have no sense of direction, it's even worse that the twists and turns on the freeway have made me completely lose my north, south, east and west. But I'm winging it, or at least I'm trying. So my map is glued to the car for now.
Mom and Dad. I miss them. But it's good to know that we're no longer countries away. No matter how old you are, you'll always feel that sense of security with your folks. Can't really explain it, but when they say things will be alright, somehow, you feel that they will be.
Renee. She will always be the reason why I had so much fun in LA. I truly miss her, and wished that LA was just a freeway away (well it just might be, but it's a freakin' LONG freeway). She's a strong yet sensitive person, a great friend, with a good heart. And I thank her for making LA a more memorable place for me.
Weng and Sam. They tied the knot a couple of weeks ago, and I am so happy for them. They've been together for so long, and I am proud to be a witness to this very very strong relationship. Sam sent me some pictures of their wedding a few days ago, and I had a lot of mixed emotions in me. I felt so happy, for seeing them transcending to the next phase, and so sad for not being physically there to witness it. I miss them (Weng, Sam and Jamie) soooooo much. These are my true friends, and I want to grow old with them, wherever I am or whever they are.
Jamie. I just read her blog entry, and thank God I never took for granted the times I was with her, and the gang. The Eraserheads, Grunge, college, and all the other serious and silly things will never be the same without her. Will never be the same without the charmed ones.
Dezza. Yey! I am just a few states away from her! In the same time zone! The thought that we could just drive to her place on a long holiday is a truly refreshing thought. Thanks to her, I am now addicted to Grey's Anatomy (and she thanked me too, for being addicted to House). We've come a loooooong way, from singing our lungs out in her bedroom to taking pictures at her daughter's birthday party. She's more like a sister to me, and I am amazed how far we've come, and how God has found a way for us to still be in touch.
Nesty. Who would have thought that I would hear from him after all these years? Thanks to friendster. Telebabad won't just do the trick to recap all these years we haven't heard from each other. But in the course of that looong phone conversation, I find myself trying to recall all the insane and mundane things I have done back in highschool. And that was a good laugh for both of us. And I'm looking forward to seeing him soon, and it's great to know that he's just an hour (or so) away from me.
Except for my relocation and the new products, the highlights of my life have always been my family, Ricio, and my good friends. Because these are the fixed variables of my life. Regardless of geographic location, time, or color preference, they were part of who I was, who I am now, and who I will be. Thank you.

naks! parang speech ah! hehe
welcome back to the bloggers' world. tagal mo nawala!
miss ya!
Aaaaaw! You're so sweet! Hearfelt ditto on the sweet sentiments. Strangely enough (and not taking anything away from my dear sister, CP), sometimes that you're more like my sister than she is. Maybe it's because of the stuff that we've both gone through. :-D
