A "Super" Blast from the Past

Countless of times, i have written about my friends and how much i adore them. And i still do. And i want to thank all of them again for being in my life and making it worthwhile. I am happy because of them. And i want to thank them for letting me feel that i am also important in their lives. :)

Last night, the weirdest thing happened...i got a call from an old friend (someone from my ex-barkada). It was seriously a strange, strange thing. Only last week, i was able to email with another ex-kabarkada. She moved to NYC last year and it was only last week when we started keeping in touch. But in my eyes, my relationship with my friend from NYC had always been ok. My relationship with this other friend though was a bit different. I only talked/saw her once this whole year (a classmate's wedding). And i was on the phone with her. I remember when it used to be hella awkward; when i never wanted to go to events where i knew they were going to be at. But last night, we talked about a lot of things. She shared a few things that were bothering her. We talked about my reasons for leaving the group. We talked about the other people from the group and my relationships with these people. We talked about old memories (the trips, the boys-chad?:P, the problems...etc.). We also talked about my life now and how leaving the group made me a stronger, better and happier being. She told me that she was happy for me that i am where i am now. And it felt really good hearing that from her because i've known her since i was 6! We grew up together (literally!). So i was really glad that i was able to talk to her. I know it will never be the same. I don't want it to be. I also know that deep down i will never want to go back to that group. But i truly felt at peace after i talked to her. I know that she will share the things that i said with the group (she asked if she could and i said yes). I know that some questions are still left unanswered. But i believe i have said most if not all the things that i've been meaning to. No regrets. It's done. And that'll do.

My Long Lost Friend...

If you know me really well, then you know how much i love music. Through the years, i've collected hundreds of CDs (original ones of course---i mean come on...there is nothing better than a non-'skipping', unscratched original cd!!!) and thousands of songs. Just recently, lhb had to fix his sister's laptop. Her hard drive wasn't working properly so he had to transfer all the files. Fortunately for me i found my old MP3s!!!! And it was seriously like finding a long lost friend. Even though it's not even 1/4 of what i currently have, i couldn't be happier :) I spent the day just playing songs that most people have probably forgotten about (and songs that would most likely make people cringe. haha) Happy happy me :P (MP3s found and senti-ness still intact! haha).

Thailand!!

Last july 21, my friend Aine and i went to Bangkok, Thailand!!! Though it was a business trip, i was really happy that i got to see at least parts of Bangkok. We went to Bangkok to get merchandise to sell. And i must say that we were pretty successful. I just hope we get to sell all our items within a month or 2.

It was a crazy experience. Bangkok looked so much like the Philippines, with less polution! The people looked like filipinos. But it was a tad difficult to talk to them since they didn't speak english that well. They didn't have jeepneys (thank God) but the traffic was almost as bad. We stayed at the Indra Regent Hotel at the Pratunam Area. It was located at the center of the different garment/wholesale markets which made it easy for us.

The next time i visit Bangkok, i hope that i get to see more of it :)
