reconnecting

yesterday was really great because not only did i make new "better friends" (see post below) but i also got to reconnect with friends i haven't seen in a long long time.

sometimes all you need is spontaneity to make things happen. i haven't seen philip, my debsoc buddy/trainer in over a year, and haven't spoken to him in about the same time, even online. i thought it would take a huge spectacular occasion for us to see each other again, but all it took was a well-meaning ym message to actually meet up with him. and meet up with him i did. he was supposed to go to up for a trip to the alyansa headquarters, but had cancelled it, and so he didn't have to go to up anymore. but he was nice enough to still trek to up from makati for little old me. chatted about his jet-setting and his moneybags. hehehe. in a nice but hot walk under the trees, he semi-taught me how to change a car tire so i would not have to be all helpless and silly and dependent on a guy all the time. it was a nice time. and of course, a meet with philip was not complete without the usual sarcasm that he is famous for. quips like "you have to start thinking like a lawyer" and "oh, yeah that was believable..." were some of what i remember, but, as a nice end to the day, he texted me this:

gues wat, i jst gt hom. fter clas i met up w sum frnds eh.twas nice seein u again...n d trip to up was worth it =) lunch ws gr8 kc i enjoyd ung mga kwento mo. nytÜ



ahh. and no sarcasm. nice end.

but before the night ended, was also fortunate enough to meet up with my good friend kris, who is on cloud nine and loving it. it is really so comfortable to have friends you can go back to and pick up where you left off, and i was just delighted to see her so happy. talked about old times and new times as always. set up a monthly date every last friday of the month so we would not have to scrounge around for bits and pieces of the week to meet.

a nice day, and an equally nice nice. hope yours was as nice!
