random thoughts

it has been a while again. suddenly its almost the end of the year. in this instance, i would like to reflect on how the years swiftly gone by. on the 22nd will be my silver wedding anniversary. i don't know where the times went, but i am sure that i am in a happy place. thanks lord, for my husband, my kids, my friends and all the answered prayers. please allow us to have 25 years more.

happy anniversary tatay. it has been a roller coaster ride with you, but i don't regret anything. maybe one thing - that you are not here to celebrate it with us. anyway, we always keep the telephone lines burning and your absence doesn't diminish what i feel for you. i love you heaps and i know and secured with your love. here's to another record in the books - we are still growing strong. i hope and pray for us to have good health so we could still enjoy exploring whatever possiblilities we have in the world. take care and trust that you are always in my thoughts and in my heart. . . . . .

after seven years we are going to spend christmas in tarlac again. i miss the spirit it invokes. tarlaquenos do it in their own fashion. bountiful food, loud and boisterous merry making, visiting relatives and keeping up with what's new in our respective lives. it sounds normal and the same wherever you are - but no. we do it with the heart. its true and its pure. that's what i am missing these past christmases. i am so excited and looking forward to spend it with my cabalens.


i am anticipating to see old and new friends when we will stay in manila en route to tarlac. i missed a lot of them and i am hoping to play catch up also. i want to enjoy this opportunity and planning to paint the town red. that is if my asthma will downplay its occurence. hahaha. basta just want to have fun. . . . . . .

these past few weeks, i've been busy practicing our dance presentation for our high school grand alumni homecoming. the theme for this year is neo-ethnic and i am kicking my ass off doing the fast and intricate steps. boy, you could hear our muscles and bones groaning and its always difficult to move after the practice. why am i complaining? did i mention that i belong to batch '72? go figure how old we are. we are hoping to win this year. i've learned that our batch won four years in a row plenty of years ago. they stop participating when they won 2nd place in the year 2000. my batchmates claimed that the results were botched so they lost interest attending after that. so after 6 years here we are again.

i miss doing this. i mean dropping lines here in my blogsite. wish i will have the time and inspiration to share and write everyday. happy holidays everyone. . . . .
