these past few days have been nicely busy - spent on dinners with friends at random pleasant surprises like tickets to a great concert, surprise hangouts with friends, and even a surprise settlement in favor of my client! it makes me feel somewhat normal in spite of my downward spiral into depression.
today i am happy because instead of being in negotiable instruments class i am sitting at home writing this blog post. AND i am happy because i am meeting up with sanne and mel and carrie for dinner at one of my favorite places.
last night i was happy because kris treated mel and i to great seats at the boyz II men concert and we sang (well i did, mel just looked NR hahaha) our hearts out, sometimes with matching actions.
and i am also happy that one of the cases I worked on for OLA was successfully settled in our favor. it makes all those nights that i worked on my pleadings so worth it. and even that dreadful day when i had to brave the storm to drive to ortigas, get my pleadings signed by my SL, and find an open post office before 5PM. It makes me feel good to have done something good in a substantial way. parang kahit papano, may pag-asa pala for me in the legal world.
im just quite happy this week. this is a good day.
------------------------------------
on a completely different note, mel and i were exchanging mom stories yesterday, as we were both touched by 2 unrelated events with our moms.
mel, who will be leaving for japan in 2 days, told me about her mom's shoes which she always uses because it goes with everything. after unsuccessful efforts to find her similar shoes in her size, jokingly told her mom that she would be bringing them to japan with her. and her mom agreed! *tears* i know how hard it is for women to part with their shoes. unreplaceable ones even!
and now for my story. my mom bought these yummy crispy shrimp that taste like chicharon. my brother eats them like potato chips, so they ran out pretty fast. yesterday at breakfast i saw her eating them and i asked if meron pa. she told me ubos na so I started looking for other things to eat. and then she started picking out the shrimp from her food and she put them on one plate to give to me. *tears* i know they were her favorite and kahit na ubos na ibibigay niya pa sa akin yung isusubo niya. aww. i told her she should have them of course. but a touching story nonetheless.
hugs to you!
