When I said that I started joining the Santacruzan since the summer I learned how to walk, I wasn’t joking. I learned to walk 2-km straight even before I learned how to drink milk from a glass. I cannot remember a summer from my childhood that I didn’t join the Santacruzan (a.k.a. Flores de Mayo a.k.a. Tapusan a.k.a. Sagala). There were times when I even joined the thing a couple of times during that same summer.
My high school barkada and I were supposed to go to Liliw today. But that all changed due to the time (we were two hours behind sched) and the sweltering heat. We end up staying in San Pablo and went diner-hopping. We refused to go to SM San Pablo and opted to eat at different dining places, instead. I have no idea how we managed to do it! I wasn’t able to take pictures of everything I ate: Steak with rice, Sans Rival, Brazo de Mercedes, Rocky Road cheesecake, Tonkatsu, Suki Potatoes, Sisig, Liemposilog, and Choco Sundae. Just typing all that makes me exhausted (ok, not really) so I really don’t know how I managed to eat everything! We ate at Si Christina (highly recommended!), RCC, Suki, and Joel Town ‘D Original Liemposilog.
The entire day wasn’t enough to bond. I demand a sleepover!
It would be hard to compress in one post everything that happened in 2010. Too many things have happened and it would be beyond me to enumerate everything. I have so many ups and lows this year. Yet, I still feel like no matter how many bad things take place, I can still say that this is a good year. Then again, I am also quite relieved that I’ve reached 2010 with high spirits.
With just a few hours left, I’m going to say goodbye not just to a year but also to a decade. I wouldn’t even attempt to point out the high points of the past ten years. Besides the fact that I am lazy, I also do not have the luxury of time. But this surely is one memorable year.
When I asked my boyfriend if there’s anything he doesn’t like about me, he was said that there’s really nothing he doesn’t like. I prodded even more for answers. Then he said that sometimes he’s “amused” at how gullible I am about life, how clueless and childish I am about the real world. I understand what he’s saying. I know that I can be pretty daft about the serious stuff. I am pretty immature. I was glad, though, when he said that I am changing and I am learning. He said more mushy things but the point is, I think I grew up a lot this year. After everything that has happened, it is quite impossible not to change. [Read more…]
…isn’t that scary at all. As long as you have the sheer determination and that little sense of adventure, you’d somehow find yourself smiling while getting lost. In the process, you’d look a little bit mental, too. Okay, maybe that’s just me. But I was quite happy when I got lost. At least I had something to blog about!
Yep, that’s the title of this post. [Read more…]
