Just got back from Holy Week

March 18, 2005--> Had class in the morning, good thing it was China and it was all about 'Greater China'. Tried finishing all administrative tasks I could...had lunch with Nico at Shang, then was fetched by Papa in school. Drove all the way from UA&P (actually Papa & I switched near St. Paul's) to Baguio. We stopped at Matutina's for dinner, superb sinigang na hito! Thank God for mp3s, thank God for kuya being generous enough to give edzon one, thank God for the inherited taste in music that Edzon got from his older sibblings.......for all those things that brought Papa, Edzon and I to baguio alive, THANK YOU!

Nothing much changed in Baguio, still the same old stores, same old goodies, same old bars to go to, except the new ones in Nevada Squre which were rockin loud!!! We had our first dinner at Luisa's, strolled and killed some time in Burnham then headed to Gimbals. The bands had more or less the same people who have switched band names and band members. Great night, not biting cold but not Manila hot either.....

Pretty much spent most of my time at home with Dadang and Annie's kids. It helped a lot hanging out with kids again, the toddler ones, the ones that you could have untireless small talk with and still enjoy and be amused in every way possible.

The cable at home is great! We were able to watch the Pacquiao-Morales fight before anyone in Manila, so of course I just couldn't keep this information all to myself.......had to spread the match's victor.

We rushed to Manila Wednesday afternoon to be able to join the family's Bignay outing, of course I drove for the three of us again, stopped at Matutina's once more for a hefty dinner. No regrets that we joined the Bignay outing, it was a blast! :D

Never got soo drunk in my entire life, never barfed so hard in my entire life, never felt as good in the morning after being wasted so deep the night before. Enjoyed again the company of the kids of Ate BabyYoung and Tintin.

Interesting........met Dennis' half-brother, Ten-ten, his name has the same history as mine.......weird actually........how our parents thought of naming us this way based on our birthdays would probably be the same kind of explanation that we would give to the Egyptians who thought the need to create their own hieroglyphics in almost the same period when the Chinese thought of creating their own calligraphy. Same manner of thinking and same series of coincidences...Tenten is one year older than me, our parents never met before but we share the same history in the creation of our names.....coincidence actually plays a big part in history, bigger than most historians, anthropologists, scientists and academics would want to admit! They have theories which explain these but when we get back to the basics it really all boils down on coincidence...chance...destiny perhaps?

Are all these series of unfortunate and fortunate events leading us to sometime and somewhere where our actual purpose in life has been reached???

I'm back in my desk again, probably wasting the money my work is giving me by using the energy that they pay to my blogspot.....what the heck! This is what keeps me sane.......
