Meet Van and Gail, my office buddies and constant skype companions. A few months from now and I’ll be celebrating my first anniversary at work. Time flew by so fast, it still feels as if I just started working for this company a month ago.

super twins!

Gori.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. (C.S. Lewis)

I finally perfected the El Nido drink (thanks to Chris and Zeli) and learned the hard way that it didn’t mix well with tequila. I kept on laughing all night and my tummy felt like it went through a 30 minute ab workout. Lol.

In a week we’ll be celebrating Yen’s birthday, probably another party somewhere in Makati,  then after that we’re off to Sagada to celebrate Katy’s birthday.  I can hazz new motto — work like a horse all week, party and travel like a rockstar on weekends.

They get new jobs, move to different cities, meet new friends, and some even change genders.

Change is constant, a fact of life…and there are times when I don’t like it. When I can’t help but hate it.  But I know that I have to move on and accept things for what they are or for what they will be.

It doesn’t mean I have to like the people they’re with though. That’s one privilege I’m not going to give up. The dynamics suck, that’s all.

Awkward too.

Drinking they say is the haven of the weak. we forge a persona that we only have the courage to show when we’re drunk enough. we escape reality even if it would risk our health. but i tell you this, the most honest individuals are those who drink to drown… coz they lose their social mask, no pretentions, no limits, no lies. that’s not weakness, that’s being fearless and i guess what they can never fathom is that, because of intoxication, we become pure…

octoberfest na!

Happy octoberfest everyone! tagay na!
