Zen Masters Age 0-3 Part II
Talagang panalo ang dalawang taong gulang kong pamangkin na si Hanna. Nung isang linggong lumagi siya sa amin e halos madaig niya (o baka nadaig na nga) ang aking epic remark na nasa part I ng blog na 'to.
Ang senaryo: Pinagbabawalan ang madalas na pagkain ng ice cream ni Hanna dahil medyo susceptible siya sa ubo. Ang hindi alam ng mga magulang niya e kapag pinapasyal ng magulang ko sa mall ang kanilang apo e pinagbibigyan nila itong kumain ng kung anuman ang hilingin niya. Isang gabi sinabi ng mommy ko kay Hanna na pupunta sila ng mall kinabukasan at dun kakain siya ng ice cream. Saktong pababa ang kapatid ko noon (na nanay niya) at nang makita siya ni Hanna bigla nitong sinabing:
Hanna: Mama A, panik ka muna sa taas. Mag-uusap lang kami ni Lola.
Waw. At two years old, paano niya kaya naisip yun?

Friends are very addictive. Last night I met with Nek and Gracee at Makati and we had a blast. Somehow everything felt right again--like we were back in college just having the time of our lives. I wish I could pioneer a career that entails meeting friends in a casual setting almost 24/7. Now that would be really fun.
***
A few weeks back someone referred me to the PR department of ABS because they were in need of a writer, and with my contract soon expiring I toyed with the idea of actually venturing into this alien field. Monday--with feet literally and figuratively getting cold--I took a test and had preliminary interview, then everything else just breezed thereafter. Soon they were calling me incessantly through my cellphone and at my office local, and I just felt like they were boxing me in. Being the claustrophobic that I am I suddenly lost all interest; I felt they were intruding too much into my personal space. With it I remember Nek's accuracy in the testimonial she made for my Friendster account, the way I "hate being confined."
Anyone interested and not that claustrophobic? The PR manager asked me for referrals.

Found it through Anina's blog, hehe. :) Waah, when do we all see each other again? I just hate sounding needy, but it sure would be nice to be with all of you again. Suredy, you can link me. I'll do the same, if that's all right with you. :)
i so know the feeling, dear. i don't talk about dumaguete that much with my friends or family kasi i'm afraid of boring them to death. instead, i resort to my blog hahaha=P
