things are starting to look okay for the small get-together i'm planning this 24th. masaya ito. i think at least 20 people are coming. (andami, hindi ba?) but it's not the number of people who come that's important. it's the strengthening of friendships that even more valuable for me.

lemme see. here are the names of the peeps who said they'd come: nani, the licensed agriculturist; bjorn, the therapist; alvin, the power plant supervisor; sir nat (and his friend), who's the school's system administrator. hopefully coming are: juvy, the teacher from st. francis minor seminary; khalil (and a friend), a therapist from subic; jovan, the department chairman for mass com from naga; adante (and rene), my best friend; francis montesena, an accountant-friend from pinoypoets, among others.

i just hope it works out. i'm really excited.

before going home, i got the budget for this upcoming 39th foundation of the school. on my way home, after i climbed for an hour, i bought: 11 vhs tapes, 13 kodak film cartridges, and 3 boxes of mineral water. all these i had to carry home, not mentioning the duffel bag i carried along with me.

grr. needless to say sobra sakit ng braso ko pagdating sa bahay. medyo hindi ko maigalaw ang mga kamay at braso ko. plus my back is a bit painful now.

haay. still here. keep in touch.
