My Comfort Zone

One of the many reasons why I often stay up late nowadays is because of the reality tv show PBB or Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. I’ve always been a fan of the show since it started few years ago. I find it fun watching the housemates do their tasks and just being themselves. And this season’s twists make it more exciting.

The latest twist… having Big Utol instead of Big Brother. Big Brother was brought to the hospital because of health problems and they are now having Big Utol or Big Brother’s brother to be in command at the PBB household instead.

Lastnight, Big Utol invited each housemate to drink with him and some of them really got drunk. Watching the housemates Melai, Kath and Mariel being silly and funny because of being drunk reminded me of those days wherein I got drunk too. I got a bit silly at some point but the good thing was, I was with my girlfriends only and we did silly stuff in my bedroom where nobody had seen us. That was during my girlfriend’s bridal shower party and I can still recall every detail of what happened that evening even though I was drunk. And it was fun! fun! fun!

That’s why watching the show last night really made me laugh and nostalgic at the same time. That was the last time I got drunk but not the only time. I don’t think I’d ever get drunk again though. It can be fun but tiring too, not to mention the headache you get the next day. But we’ll see… Hee hee!

It was unplanned. I was supposed to meet another friend at the mall yesterday when we bumped into each other amidst the very crowded mall atrium. I was talking about my good friend, Ate Carol whom I also call Cat because she’s a die-hard Garfield fan.

It was so nice seeing her again. The last time we’ve seen each other was in December last year when we had our Pocketbell reunion. We were office mates in that telecommunication company until it closed in 2002.

Anyway, we never really thought it would end up as a date since we both didn’t decide to have snack until about thirty minutes of talking right there in the middle of the atrium, and standing at that. Hee hee. And since it was her birthday last December 12th, so I just gave her a treat. We talked like there’s no tomorrow since we really had some catching up to do.

After that, we went to the other mall, the newly-opened Robinson’s Mall and had a little shopping. It was such a nice day being with a good friend again. I’ll see you again soon, Cat!

She has asthma ever since so learning that she’s admitted again because of it is not something new to us (her girlfriends) anymore. She’s not at all stressed out since her job is not at all exhausting but it’s the weather that triggers her asthma attack most of the time.

She was admitted on Sunday but it was only yesterday that I got the chance to visit her. I brought her snacks from red ribbon and we ate it together while enjoying the movie on HBO.

There she is, watching the movie while smoking pot. Just kidding! She’s holding her nebulizer because she’s having difficulty breathing.

And there’s the nurse, patiently waiting for the nebulizer.

I stayed there for like two hours. Wish I could have stayed more but it’s getting late. I’ll visit her again tomorrow though since her doctor didn’t give discharge orders yet.

Get well soon, Gurl!

My son Yogi had his field trip this morning at a Garden which is about a thirty minute ride from our city. All the grade levels from their school joined the field trip. I forgot that my close friend’s daughter is Yogi’s schoolmate so I was able to see my friend again there. I call her Lilet though some calls her Anne, and she’s a friend since high school though we became really close when we became officemates at Pocketbell, a telecommunications company.

Anyway, I never expected to see her there and I was totally surprised when she called me. She’s a dear friend, my maid of honor during my wedding and she’s Yogi’s Godmother too. My BA met her during my birthday and though they haven’t talked much that night but I know they’ll get to know each other more soon, I hope.

We only talked a little there because we’re both busy with our little kiddos. And she’ll be leaving for U.A.E. on the 21st already. She mentioned it to me during my birthday and though I was a little surprised but I know she’ll do it for the best of everybody and her husband’s already there waiting for her. Happy trip, Let and all the best for you. Mwah!

I was at the mall with my son, Yogi yesterday. And i got accustomed to the idea that whenever i’m there, i would send my friend, Elsie an SMS asking where she’s at because it’s where she always hangs out. But i received no reply from her yesterday. Well, it’s not something new to me though because she’s always been a busy woman. Only to find out eventually what really happened.

It was just a few minutes after Yogi and I arrived home when i received the shocking news from my friend, Judy informing me that Elsie’s father passed away yesterday morning. It was a shocking news indeed though we’ve known his father as being hypertensive. I don’t know the reason behind his early dimiss yet. Still have to find out. I already sent Elsie an SMS giving her my condolences but she’s probably in a difficult state now because she’s been silent. Will pay her a visit soon and will pay respect to her dad soon too.

My condolences, Girl!
