Oh. My. God.

He is back. And he is waiting for me.

Don't worry Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), I will be waiting for your return here.

Thanks Yahoo! for sending word to me.

It seems like I'm fully booked this week. Well, the only day I was at home early was last Tuesday. And today is a Friday. Oh you know what happens during this day.

Anyhow, Wednesday, I went to Kuya Ian's and Jake's boarding house. Kuya Johann went there also. We were celebrating Kuya Johann's birthday. We started out with Red Horse but I felt like I did not want Red Horse. So I never finished the whole bottle and Kuya Johann bought a bottle of Generoso for me. That's what I drank with Jake.

Too bad I was not able to take photos.

Last night, I was with Allan and Mayk. Allan is a former housemate and Mayk was the appcom head during the time that I was applying as a member in UP Ibalon. Well, both of them are orgmates and we all stayed in the house in KNL one time or another. It was a fun night and we were all talking about different things - revelations, college days, what has been happening. Oh you know... That kind of stuff.

It was also fun to be with orgmates again after a really long while. I even did not feel like I was in Bicol. The only thing that reminded me I was here and not in Manila was that there were no other orgmates - just the three of us.

Oh well.

Anyway, let me just share with you some of our pics.

It was another fun night and I hope there'd be more of this! Hey orgmates! Contact me when you're here in Legazpi!

(Now I'm really missing them...)

I told you about Charlie's birthday party. Anyhow, here are the photos which I took. The videos, I guess are not going to make it online. Just a few videoke moments. The photos are much fun.

Sky's voice.

Soup: What is your favorite kind of cheese?
Ah... kesong puti? I dunno. Cheeze Whiz siguro. Hehe.

Salad: Do you sleep late on Saturday mornings? Why or why not?
No. You see, I go to work on Saturdays.

Main Course: When was the last time you forgot something?  What was it, and how long did it take to remember it?
This morning I guess. I forgot that I had to check some blogs while I was still at home. I only remembered it just now.

Dessert: Fill in the blank:  I notice ____________ when _____________.
I notice that my son's getting older when he responds to questions I throw at him and when he would follow any instructions I give him.

(Thanks Shari!)

I'm not much of a reunion person. Especially those school reunions. The only reunion I love attending are those "barkada" reunions. And that's that. Even family reunions don't make my day.

Anyhow, I am talking about reunions here because I received two emails already from one of our CommRes professors, Violeda Umali. She has been one of the "terror" teachers that I sure do remember holding the rough draft of our RRL (review of related literature) and looking at all those huge red marks and comments. No page was spared.

Well, it's not that she was the one who sent the email. It's that fact that people would start asking, "What are you doing now?" or "Where are you working?" and it would be like a comparison of what you have achieved after graduating. And I'll surely be like, "Uh... I'm working as a web marketing analyst." And they'll ask, "What's that?" And I'll probably answer, "Oh something. Just go ask Google what SEO is."

So there. I'll not be going although it is scheduled to be happening on the 26th. Yes, just a few more days and that would be it.

But for all those CommRes peeps or all other people who know other people who are CommRes grads, you may want to read this letter sent by Ma'am Umali.
