this time last year...

a look back at how i was last year. just to see if i made progress. for those of you who got to know me just now in lawschool, here is a slice off the ditzy ia cake. enjoy the sugary sweetness. Ü

------------------------------------------

the second day as 22

ah, march 30 was FABULOUS. (my new favorite word), almost got everything on my list checked. list goes:

go to mass : not check. kept on missing it. got to the communion part though. so i just prayed.

family meal: well, almost. had brunch with my mom and bro.

self-pampering day: facial, massage, and hot oil treatment - all accomplished for a fraction of what i thought i'd be spending - though slightly balanced by the ultra-expensive hair treatment. love, love, love the massages. I love massages! I think i deserve it din naman.

my new resolution: picture to document my fabulousness every year. and it did turn out FABULOUS!!! Ü if i may say so myself.

dinner party with relatives and good friends: good, great. behaved well, twas fun. overnighted (not as fun as expected) but was okay anyway. this morning was way funner! we slept till maybe ten, and had breakfast all the way till lunch. we laughed more than half the time.

for the 2nd day as a 22, spent the day being surprised and mildly embarrassed. in a fun and funny way i suppose. must be documented.

first: went to gail's phi kappa phi induction. thought i was just in for a snooze fest, but it ended up being half-way decent. the speaker was good, the speech was short, and the intermission was moving. but what was ultimately funny was when i saw a friend from BROADGUILD and i called him over. it was fun to see NOEL again. only, i kept calling him NOEL and didnt realize that his name was actually JAMESÜ (a sign that i'm getting soft in my old age?) gosh. was so embarrassed when in a subtle way i was reminded his name was james. (He said umm...JAMES when i was about to type in noel. hooboy. humiliation central. buti na lang he was a nice guy. makes me wonder though why he answered to the name noel)

but the final earth-shattering surprise of the day was running into carlo* (name changed to protect identity) in starbucks. my god! how could this have happened on the one day when i least expected it? i was not at all prepared. and ive been preparing myself so much everyday of my senior year last year. it was funny i suppose. at least i got to put in a bit of conversation kahit na konti. but he seems the same. so uncomfortable though. in a non-obvious way. hoped to see adam and ended up seeing carlo. i can say the famous "goodbye carlo" line now. (to one that is - i have so many CARLOs going around eh.) his entrance sure stopped me from an impending pity-party.

went to a mini-party where i saw the cutest dogs (a dachshund named pocholo, a small dog named boy george, pug named...(i dont remember), another named cutie pie, and another named brutus. amusing. good days.

till tomorrowÜ
