surreal. nostalgic. EMO.
it's been surreally funny, if not solely FUN, these past few days.
first up, our college yearbook FINALLY came out. the 1st Yearbook Distribution Party which took place at my 2nd favorite starbucks sometime last week, aside from allowing us to see a lot of people we haven't seen for a long time again, fostered a lot of AWs and OHs as we looked through snippets of our college drama, and a lot of knockabout laughter as we recalled the good times. we [almost surprisingly] remembered that once anonymous student assistant who was a joke waiting to be made, and had fun repeating that favorite line ate daisy shouted out at 6pm at those who were playing pusoy dos or bungo [spanish bingo, c/o paul] at the UJP tambayan: "isasara ko na ang pintu!".
i wasn't at the 2nd Yearbook Distribution Party last friday, though. and that i ABSOLUTELY regret. my friends from college-in-general and a lot my friends from specifically-the-college-of-mass-comm chanced to see each other at Shang and HAD FUN. jusko naman, universe, I INTRODUCED THEM. tapos ako wala. haha. parang ONE BIG HAPPY PARTEY without the host.
the same night din, most of the syupahfriends were at this Urbandub gig i didn't hear about. and i haven't seen them play in ages.
yesterday, waking up with a song in my head to a beautiful just-rained morning told me it was going to be a swell day. met up with, introduced and saw old friends and new friends at UP [including this sweet kid i missed and my thesis partner's ex. haha] laughed our asses off, sneaky-smoked and had a hearty lunch at the arcade. that night, met up with, introduced and saw old friends and new friends at the Artist's Fair at the Cubao Expo, felt like i was re-living life in UP, broke my heart over and over and over, and listened to good music, among other things. haha.
it's been in-your-face overwhelming. with the number of people i've met and who have mattered in one way or another, 22 years can feel like the longest ever. flashbacks would be nice, if only to re-live the moments that made you to be what you are now.
i can only guess that i'm lucky it's been generally all good.
