I'm a Baby!

Ah, I’m having the perfect life… not since my freshman days did I feel that things are OK just as they are. I’m so blessed to feel this days before I turn 30, a milestone not too many friends have warned will be emotionally difficult (and which I did not doubt kasi nga it means hindi na’ko young man in his twenties).

And today is the perfect example of this perfection. What better way to spend the few days before Christmas nang nasa bahay na lang ako, hindi ako pumasok (dahil nag-slow down na rin ang work sched), hindi na’ko nakikipagsiksikan at some wall trying to finish my Christmas shopping (natapos ko na nu’ng early December), at buong araw lang ako rito.

So para magka-semblance of productivity, narito ang ilan sa mga notes na naisulat ko kagabi habang laseng na laseng at nagfa-flash ang iba’t ibang ideas sa utak ko na ikinatakot kong malimutan the next day. Buti nag-notes ako, hindi naman pala ganu’n ka-brilliant ‘yung mga thoughts ko hehe. ‘Yung iba hindi ko pa maintindihan ‘yung sarili kong sulat. May iba naman na sa ibang entry ko na lang isusulat:



Sa Alpha, Delta, Charly…Ano ang J?

Buntis si Janice.
Buntis!?
Oo, right after siyang ikasal…
Kinasal na rin si Janice?
(Hmmm, dati it is usually assumed kapag sinabig buntis…)

I call this…THE FABLE OF THE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Sa Christmas party ng Torres “stereotyped” siblings kagabi sa Antipolo, ang daming desserts.
And I’m not a fan of chocolate cake pero ‘yung cake na natikman just, well, took the cake!
I was relieved and surprised na when I went back for seconds eh meron pang two slices na natitira. Mukha kasi siyang Red Ribbon cake lang or something.
‘Yun pala dala siya ng wife ni Levy, chocolate cake from Miss Desserts in Serendra. Sobraaaang saraaaap!
Hindi siya pinapansin kasi mukha lang siyang ordinaryo pero kapag tinikman mo, du’n mo makikitang special talaga siya.
Moral lesson: dapat pala tinikman ko ‘yung chocolate mousse na in-assume kong Red Ribbon lang din, baka special pala!

This is the CENTENNIAL JOKE:
Bakit the best talaga ang UP…
Sa Ateneo at La Salle High Schools, marami d’yang nangangarap mag-college sa UP.
Pero sa UPIS walang nangangarap mag-aral sa Ateneo o La Salle.

Parang rice terraces ang garden nina Monica so ‘yung banda nina Doc nasa highest terrace nagpe-play, parang baligtad na ampitheater bale. Naisip tuloy ni Monica na sa balcony ng bahay na lang sila nag-play para kita ng lahat. Hmmm…Kung ako ‘yung banda matutuwa ako kasi ibang playing milieu ‘yun, isang balcony ng isang American Colonial South inspired home sa Antipolo, in the chilly Christmas air. Too bad hindi ako banda, wala talaga akong ka-talent-talent sa music.
