Midnight Rendezvous: A Year After

whoa. i can't believe it's been a year already since i last posted midnight rendezvous. and looking back, well, apparently, many things happened after that.

my dad finally found another love, and about time too. i mean, my sister is soon to be of age too, and we won't be able to care for dad as much as we used to. he's in the province now, living a peaceful life, i guess. my sister is finally back in school and she's doing pretty fine, given her condition. she's attending this alternative learning system since she didn't push through the normal schooling during the previous years. brrr... just the idea of me sending her to college makes me uncomfortable. well, time really flies as they say. compared to the rest of the family, my life basically stayed the same: i'm still in college and i'm still under a relative's roof. sigh. these are soon to change though. i'm fishing through my thesis proposal although qiqo won't be much convinced by my efforts. i'm also to be a regular employee at dgp, benefits and all.

my life right now isn't the life i imagined i'd have six years before. god, who'd known that i'd graduate as a librarian. shucks, back in high school, i never really knew what was the library all about. for me, it was just books, dust and the deafening silence, and oh, the librarian. she was just the type who'd look like a grumpy old lady who breathes fire on unfortunate souls who'd made the stupid mistake of at least whispering in the room. years later, here i am, having a degree in a field i once barely knew of. life has indeed many ways, and most of them weird, of turning in a full circle.

enough of nostalgia.

janet bear just paid a rare visit.

well, then again, it's still nostalgia.

janet was one of the first people in ilis i became friend with. i was the newbie in their group. it was all smiles; along with daisy, drea, maggi, neils and joan. but eventually, the time came for us to part ways and lead our own lives. janet was a link to my first two years in ilis and of course, to flipp. she was the sixth applicant in our batch. and like some people i know, she is endowed with the uncanny skill to decode my actions. stragely enough, i am still hearing what she said years ago, "sooner or later, it'll come down to this." what about? you'll just have to guess, won't you? yihee!!!

lastly, the year won't really pass without me having a difficult situation with a close friend.

karlo and his punctuality issues

drea and her lovelife

and now...

as i said before, it's ok for me to be talked of behind my back as long as i have abxolutely no idea about it. problem is, sometimes i just have the means to know. i dunno. this time, it's my bad. i blurted out something i should have kept to myself. still i'm confident that the other 2 friends that i shared the secret with don't have to do with anything with this uncomfortable situation i'm in.

i said i'm sorry. once, yeah.

i guess that's enough since i don't even think this would qualify as a fight. misunderstanding, perhaps. still, no reply. or maybe i'm just paranoid. i hope i am.

a month after, we're still not talking to each other. i'm tired of guessing; heck, i;m tired of thinking about it.

and suddenly, it's like "andrei" all over again.
