I was planning to go out of the house today. I was thinking of spending time with my nieces and nephew; go to the mall or watch a movie and eat. I was also thinking of calling up my friends and invite them to go out with me. It’s holiday today here in the Philippines; and it’s a long weekend for everybody. We are celebrating the 26th death anniversary of Mr. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino. He fought for freedom and democracy for our country.
Anyway, none of my plans for the day materialized. I was too indolent to pick up the phone and call my college friend. I was thinking of visiting my alma mater today and buy the university’s jacket (big grin); and probably stay in the University for a while with my college friend. It has been a long time since the last time we spend time together. Another option is to call my friend from high school. We were supposed to meet last weekend, but a family emergency came up so I had to beg off (I hope she is not mad). But then I did not call her. One of my old friends called, but I was too grouchy I am not in the mood to talk (she might have noticed it and so she just said goodbye).
And now, I am in my room; staring at the ceiling. I was playing solitaire in my iPod a moment ago, but it ran out of battery. Now, I am writing down this post. Oh, before this, I was able to write a poem. A free verse (more on reyapot’s verse actually, hehehe) poem about my disturbed emotions. Yep, I am, again, a disturbed creature.
Random thoughts pouring in as I was doing this post:
“I thought of having a facial tomorrow. I need to change my face powder; I got loads of white heads on my nose..yuck!”
“I will have my nails done”
“I will buy a hair dye.. I will try red this time”
“Or maybe, I will call Meriam, and check if there is a promo at the spa center”
And my thoughts went on…

I hope I would feel better soon. There is something that has been eating me up. I just hope it won't be able to eat me whole.

I didn't know you were in the Philippines. That's really cool. I'm from San Diego and I have a bunch of buddies that grew up there and then moved to the US. They go back for vacation every few years and they always tell me how much they miss it. Sounds like a really beautiful place.
Hi Ben. Thanks for reading my posts. I really appreciate it.
Yep, I am a proud Filipina. And yes, the Philippines is definitely a beautiful place. The people are very warm and friendly. Something that a balik-bayan will surely miss.
I also have a couple friends who are now living there in the US. One is in Vallejo; sometimes he stays in San Francisco. The other one is in Bakersfield; but she's working now in Sacramento.
Maybe one day you go with your friends when they visit the Philippines. It is worth the time and effort.
Thanks again for visiting. See u!
