But I'm afraid I'm losing the small details that define so much of our past. And sometimes not so small. My high school classmate had to remind me of a supposedly memorable night-time trip we made that had completely slipped from my mind. Maybe that's another reason why I appreciate all these years in TV. There is video that captured so many moments that I shared with friends and just people I should remember. The lolo experience was quaint but at my age it didn't have to remind me of the march of time. The older one gets the more friends one loses. Two of my best friends from my youth are gone, as well older friends whom I thought I could still talk to as I wallow in middle age. Makes me treasure the present and the fact that I may look older but I often feel I'm still discovering something new every day.

I've been scanning old pics myself for the past year or so and emailing them to family with my own sentimental reminiscing. They're politely acknowledged but no one reminisces back. But I won't stop; maybe they'll catch the sentimental fever one of these days and realize memories should be shared before they're lost. What a cool set of siblings.

Tsaka pwede mo pa ring gamitin sa 'yong blog. :) You'll have a more spiritual take on the subject for sure! And you know what? I just realized God does hear me! Except He was trying to say I wasn't meant to get what I was asking for, because there's something else (and someone else) truly meant for me in the future. And now's not the time to go looking for a rebound. Haha, I'm beginning to see the light in so many ways... will tell all in an upcoming letter ... Kuya, kakatuwa ka!

Nasa trabaho ako, di ako maka-emote. Pero naluluha-luha pa rin ako sa cubicle. Ganda ng entry mo. Daya mo... gagamitin ko rin sana sa blog ko yun! :D It's nice to have my sisters back, even if via long distance. Better late than never di ba, "Ate?" Kakainis! Nasa trabaho ako, di ako maka-emote.

Better late than never di ba, “Ate?”

I felt going back through time myself. I can still remember Naya in her pink ballet outfit, her hair in a bun, Lionel in his duran duran 80's get up with matching necklace (Blowing Fishes ba yung band niya nun?), your mom sewing something, your dad on the couch checking piles of exam papers, and baduy me a constant visitor during those summer afternoons. You were the coolest (most cultured!) family I know and I'm grateful for your opening your doors for me. Hay, how time truly flies...but family is one constant thing. Yeah, nix the mindless shopping, always go for family weekends, tita nessa. =) Lovely, lovely pics! I felt going back through time myself.
