Long Overdue Girl Bonding Time
Last night, I was finally able to enjoy some quality girl bonding moments. And I enjoyed every single minute of it.
I actually invited Michiko to go to the gym with me, there was a Body Balance class yesterday so I thought we’d both enjoy the yoga-ish activity. And it was really fun working out with her! Plus, the steam bath plus the kikay stuff we did with only a towel on was pure girl bonding stuff! I’ve never really had the chance to enjoy too much of that, my spa sessions before were always with my ex, the haircut trips and foot spas were often with Gus or Vince… I’ve never had any girl time like I did yesterday. Clearly, it was long overdue but well worth the wait.
Also, my friend Kaye has given birth to a healthy baby boy. Our college barkada is talking about getting together (take note, save for Gus, we’re all female). I’m hoping for chat sessions or maybe even coffee or dinner together. But what I’ve never really done is a chick flick marathon. Now that is something that I’m looking to do in the future.
Hooray for girl power!

I’ve been sick the whole week and I had conjunctivitis, I wasn’t able to watch too much anime and was forced to be entertained by my own thoughts. While listening to my MP3 collection, I realized that when I feel most strongly-I hear music in my head. That I have a soundtrack for my feelings, for special people, for memorable events.
There’s “Joyride” and “Happy” song for me and my college barkada, specifically Scarlet and Gus. Whenever I hear the song “I Do” and “Til They Take My Heart Away”, my thoughts would always go back to second year high school.
I didn’t hear music for a long time but I didn’t mind. I wrote a lot of words that had so much meaning but had inadequate feeling. I listened to compliments, to confessions, I’ve seen tears and gallant courtship but I managed to articulate time and again at how pleased and flattered I was with the attention but that it did little to hold my heart. I realized back then that if I still possessed the ability to put into words my emotions– it only meant that I was romanticizing the moment but that it was fleeting. Read the rest of this entry »
