the blur of a vacation

things have looked up since christmas day. hanging around with zarah has done lots for my social life, and horrors for my health. ive been sick and sicker since the first night we went out.

its been a great vacation. weve gone on cheap lunches, expensive lunches, even more expensive dinners, mcdo breakfasts, extremely pricey non-yummy hot chocolate, a surprisingly scary tagalog movie which still has me getting nightmares, overnights, drives, a wedding, and a whole lotta starbucks nights, days, afternoons. it was lovely.

an even more interesting aspect of the whole hanging out thing (i almost never do, but am now a bit of a hangout monger since zarah's arrival) is that weve done it with our old old friend jacqui belle, and after many many years, were once again a trio of sorts.

jacqui has been leading us to a lot of interesting spots and adventures, such as: sitting around waiting for mr. wonderful to come into sight new year's day. semi-stalking someone in the middle of a crowded street. eating jollibee merienda at the most obscure jollibee this side of qc( well, not really, but its quite far.)

in the time that weve hung out together, ive discovered that: a) we are both very terrified of rica peralejo, and surprisingly unorthodox multos who appear in the middle of the day b)we share the crazy impulsiveness which make us the nutty people that we are c) we share the good-girlishness weve never outgrown. its reassuring to realize that were still quite the same though weve gone on to become very different people.

it felt really right to spend dec. 31 with the girls. very much like home.
