Magandang Gabi

I might be in complete denial when Gaby announced that she`d be going back to Bolivia. The day of her departure had came and I projected to be a very brave me. Yet, it`s hard not to feel sad. It´s hard not to shed tears. But as a personal rule: `Never let the person who`s going away see you`re sad coz it will make things harder for both sides`.

I strongly felt Gaby`s absence the day after she left. I missed the early riser girl who I always found in the sala already eating breakfast and watching TV early weekend mornings. Yes, we only spent so little a time together in that apartment but her company is something to be treasured of. It was like having a big sister in the house. It was quite an assuring thing to go home knowing someone like her is living with you and as long as she`s there nothing would go wrong. I missed the occassional `girl talks` we have had, and most of all I missed seeing her face blushing everytime I teased her with her boyfriends.

Gaby, hope to see you soon!!! We missed you!!

Psychologically Touched

Hearing it for the first time??!!

(Hardrock Cafe, May 18 lunch, MTV was playing on the background)

Me: You can always see this guy(referring to the guy who appears on MTV) in movies as the 'bad guy' or the villain.

Eva: Yeah (between sip of her strawberry juice), or someone..psychologically..{sip, and kind of thinking, not sure what to say} touched..

Me: That's the first time I hear that...What does it mean?

Eva: (with a big grin) That's because I just came up with that word right now.

It was followed with laughters... Eva's naiveté never failed to amuse me (and in this case, her complete admission that she doesn't even know the word)...probably the term does exist but it just sounds weird that I can't help from laughing...

I forgot what this is called...but it surely was delicious...!



mmm...mouth watering...!

Let's Get Lasing

Somethings blew out of proportion in Gabi's office that she decided to quit her job (or traineeship). Everybody from Aiesec Javeriana got concerned and Maya hurriedly went to the apartment (for moral support).

Arnie arrived with weary face and red eyes, markings of tough day at work (actually it started just right, him winning the Best Teacher award, but the day was strained with those little monsters who refused to learn). We were later joined by Emilio (Gabi's Swiss friend from work) who apparantly have had share of shortcomings (had a fall off with the girl he dated). Everybody seemed to have the reason to drink..and get drunk, I was just basically caught off in the middle. But who cares if I couldn't finish my presentation for the next day's class...A night to get lasing!

Cheers!


the evidence

Dear Ma,

As a pecuniary measure, I needed to have another job. This is the picture taken during working hour (when I am not teaching in the University).

Don`t worry, I already got the driver`s licence and I could now drive even a truck. Tell Pa about it, he would be very proud of me.

Ciao.

I love you and Happy Mother`s Day!


Your most precious daughter,

ME
