Thoughts About August 3: Another Surprise

This afternoon, I went to my friend Mickey Kat & Pooh's"  niece Christening.

At the reception venue:

Patrick Starfish: "Mamya daw my games dito."

Me: Talaga (in excited tone, believing her)

PS: LOL~

Today, I'm catching up with Mickey Kat, Pooh and Patrick Starfish. I haven't seen them in months. Except for Patrick Starfish, whom I was with last night in help to search for a christening gift for the event. So we were in a table with some familiar faces. Its kind of giddy hearing those usual bantering and jokes at some point. Poor Patrick Starfish  always the topic of the commotion haha. Hopefully, someday all of us could go out again in another of our 7-Eleven foodtrips and Tanduay Ice tasting sessions. I know everyone would love to do that again!

Anyways, there was something I realize as Patrick Starfish and I were going down the stairs.
I needed the pen I have in the car 'cause I forgot to put a tag on our gifts. So needless to say, we decided to go and get the pen. Just going down the stairs and mocking  Patrick Starfish's inability to take a step. Jokingly, calling her my grandma 'cause she can barely lift her leg due to her recent Badminton work out the other day. Oh! That muscle pain thingy truly brings out the jokes in my head. I can't believe she was laughing at my random joke numerous times. I was looking at her in awe, thinking, is she really laughing at this moment. Fun indeed.

Well, in some ways, she had more of a chuckle last night with it. So maybe I was hitting the right strings this time. I'm amused all of a sudden. Maybe because I haven't been out with friends much in a while. And misery loves company. But I'm glad that my rare spat of joke can still amuse a friend of mine and I truly appreciate that. I love seeing that gleeful reaction in their faces. :D

I remember this question Patrick Starfish asked me one time, "If ever biglaan kang aalis would you tell your friends beforehand o magte-text ka na lang na aalis ka na?"

I don't remember how exactly I answered back maybe I wasn't able to. Although come to think of it, probably I might spend days hanging out with friends as much as I can and leave all of a sudden. I might tell them I'll go but not in their presence maybe to diminish the farewell speech and tearful goodbyes. But that's just me and Patrick Starfish... well she'll definitely do the other way around. She'll be in tearful concoction and be saddened throughout that process by which, the thought of it brings me in terse melange.

But that's life branching out.

Just like the seed--that develops into a healthy plant which is in need of sunlight and water; taking form as years go by, gradually with increased size and substance for which to come to its existence, matures in time;

 --we need to grow to find that purpose in life.


The thought of someone leaving can be saddening for a fact. Still, I'd rather not delve much on it but rather think of it as a part of life. People come and go in one's chapter. The story does not end there. It's just the beginning of something much greater than it is. I believe....

I believe what's next is still a surprise for me to find.

NOTE: Originally, I already have this entry written out in a journal of mine with the thought of just transferring it here in my blog the way it is. But after reading it numerous times, I decided to edit it, somewhat scrape out most of it though--thinking the way I wrote it--were too straight forward for my liking. So I've changed 'em all: same topic but a different write up (090812).

NOTE to self: There's alot of surprise I've already did for Patrick Starfish before. I like surprising friends for that matter. So I was thinking, I might need a new plan by the end of the year. Actually I'll probably plan out three to four (either a gift or event): One, for Emo's birthday in December, (2nd content removed)
