weekend #1 (again, no intention of keeping this up! ;=)
Hmmm … i figured out today why i am ‘compelled’ to write all these blogs. Yup, suddenly i was a blog addict, well … only for last week anyways … which i am not! I figured, i wanted my friends in the Philippines (well, it’s not really a private blog … so, i guess that includes everyone else who had internet access!) to know what’s going on with me (hmmm … not that they care, right? ;=) … and i wanted to document my stay here in FM and what better way to do that than do an online journal! … and i was used to doing the same things in the Philippines … and i pretty much spend it with very few the same people everyday (like Van and the rest of the Gov crew … ;=) … so there’s really no point recounting what happened since they were there with me when it happened! For the longest time, i only write blogs when there’s a sudden inspiration … which seldom happens … thus the sporadic, once-a-month blogs! ;=) Well, this time (i am always inspired … NOT! ;=) … i am alone and enjoying things pretty much by myself … so i took it upon myself to update everyone! ;=) hehe (hmmm … actually, this is my outlet … i am a talkative loner (oxymoron!) … so since there’s really no one to talk to … and i dare not do a 2-way conversation with myself yet … this is my release! ;=) anyways … those are the reasons for the daily blogs (haha … i had to explain myself!) … and again … it will wear out … give it a week … don’t worry! ;=) hehe
anywho, short update on my weekend: i attended my friend’s (okay, her name is Krizel ;=) ) bridal shower yesterday in San Jose … it was a real blessing to actually be here for her wedding (and, well … the bridal shower!) … been planning since last year how i can be here for her wedding with the least amount of cost — i got my answered prayer – i got to go for free! (yeah … i can be spoiled by God from time to time! ;=) … well, except for the gas money for the 166mi trip from Folsom to San Jose and back … and well, except for the money for my gift … ) everything else worked out for free! ;=) the bridal shower was really fun! i was able to meet up with old SFC friends and then met some new friends as well … the food was good! the (writing) wedding games were really interesting … though i didn’t win any prize … (ahhh … i had a 4-year friendship gap with Krizel … it was a sporadic-email-based friendship so there was really not much i know about her and her fiance for those last 4 years! ;=) … we did some videoke with some really sad and pitiful songs! … the party lasted til 2am! … it was some bridal shower! ;=) 
(me, yvette, kristine, krizel - the bride! -, leslie lyle, shar, leslie)
the weekend was a real trip down memory lane for me … well, it was not as bad as back in 2003 when i even went to my old apartment … and not just the apartment complex … but my actual apartment unit! … (ahhh … back then, i even went the same route i used when i was living there!) … i didn’t do that this time … not because i didn’t want to but because i didn’t really have time … it will be a 2-hr trip back and it was already getting late! the only extra time i had … i went to Our Lady of Peace shrine … and i drove by Mission College Blvd where Intel headquarters is located … and i did went to Union Landing to buy Krispy Kreme! … (i wanted to buy chicken joy from Jollibee in Union Landing … but i am not really craving for Jollibee yet … being that it’s not even a week since i left Philippines! ;=) hmmm … it was a weird feeling (ahh … i am weird! ;=) … i was so touched being back there! … i think i even cried a tear or two! ;=) hehe
oh well … really interesting weekend! ;=) more to come …
