De-Hibernate

I love September 25, 2005. 9:00 am to be exact. :) A leap of faith, with someone very dear to me.

Just had lunch earlier with my sister's future in-laws at Dad's. The food was great. On the way to Makati, i found that the streets looked great, and I loved the way the sun hit the roofs of the cars. I felt light. There is a lightness in everything I do. Does it matter that I don't make sense? Sometimes I don't, and sometimes I do. Life sometimes doesn't make sense. And sometimes it does.

For a long time, I wanted to write something about change. Why do people change? Why do situations change? Sometimes, when we come across something that we love so much, we think that we'll love it forever. And then we change.. and the love we have for that person or situation or thing disappears.

But then sometimes something more wonderful takes its place.

People change, that's all. Whether we like it or not. We can't really grow without change.

Went to the Pinoypoets GA at Mcdo St Francis Square last Friday. It was good seeing old friends. It's hard to imagine I've been with the group for only over a year. It feels like lifetimes already. I miss the ones that left already, especially Jonar. And the quiet ones nowadays, like Dave and Andrea. but it was good seeing Ani (namaste! missed you a lot) and the rest, Xam, Pol, Ergoe, Nanoy, Kai (Oh God, Oh God! who hopefully finds her notebook), Kath (who was really concentrated on finishing her poem for LIRA, sayang di ko inabutan si Emong), Gretch (race car enthusiast pala ito), Jeff (no. 1 sa mga hirit). Van was also there, kasama si Maki. (Okay, now I know I missed a lot already hehehe.) Edz was also there with his friend. At ang idol nating si Makatang Kiko. Claire was also there (blooming na naman ata.) Hope to have coffee again with Steph one of these days.

Anecdote of the night from Ani: Wala palang "gullible" sa dictionary? lol

I have a very bad habit that I want to break. Whenever I become busy I tend to forget to spend time with my friends (both old and new). During the training in my new "day" job, we were asked to write a commitment. Mine was: "to always be there when my friends need me."
My record sucks, but i really want to change that.

Last Saturday, went to Boston Gallery to catch Erwin's and Jim's show. Galing pareho! Nice to see everyone again, after a not-so-long time. The question: bakit ka nagcall center?

I like my new work at Etelecare. Before I went into art, I was working. Now, I want to work again while continuing to make art. Of course it's not as simple as it seems.
The schedules though, are really weird. but I've always loved challenging myself and finding new avenues of experience and expression. Time will tell if I made the right decision, but I think I did.

The casualty though: I had to stop teaching at Art Informal. But I hope to go back to teaching again later on. In the meantime, have to finish my pieces for October, and start writing poems again. And hanging out again, and...
