Randomness, just to update.
Wow, this is only my 2nd blog post for the year? I can't believe I don't
blog as often anymore. I guess I've just been looking for more things
to blog about before I sit down and start typing away.
Nothing much has been going on, really. But one thing I liked about
beginning this year is that there are more things to look forward to,
there are more goals to set, and well, more expectations of myself.
Lara did another card reading and pulled out a card for each of her
friends for this year. I got Judgment. She recently sent me what it
meant.
You're more free to make decisions and are transforming. You take
account your past actions and know better. By revaluating and reviving,
you drop your old values to embrace new ones. Accept things they way
they are.
Make choices without blaming others or yourself. You
have a new insight into how you handle your relationships. It is fine to
shrug your shoulders and think 'what's the point?' This is your chance
to start afresh, let go of the past and stop feeling guilty for your
actions.
Interesting. Part of it is already true, which is creepy. Or maybe I'm
just rationalizing things again. But so far, I like how 2011 has been
for me.
I like that I've been reading more books right now. I didn't really
count it as a resolution. I just liked the change. I did skip a Sunday
Solitaire last week, but more on that later. I'm just glad that I've
been hungry for books to read lately. Plus thanks to my LJ friend Aisa, I
received 2 books in the mail last Monday. I saw a list of books in her
blog that she had read in the past year, and I a couple of them caught
my eye. When I commented that I was curious about those, she offered to
send them to me, and she did. Thank you so much, Aisa, for letting me
indulge in my more-than-2-decades-old hobby, hahaha.
Anyway, about skipping Sunday Solitaire, I opted to go to Peaberry last
week instead of Starbucks, and I ended up hanging out with Aris and
Karla during the early part of the evening, then later with Erik until
closing time. I love days like these, just spending the evening talking
the time away with good food, drinks, and the cozy ambiance. It's also
good to know that I have more friends that are in my vicinity.
It's sort of awkward to have a teacher or a professor become your
co-worker or colleague (though it's not too weird and happens all the
time in our industry). But what's awkwardly funny is having your
colleague become your teacher, hahaha. Yun lang.
I love hanging out with random friends and talking about the most
mundane things. This past week was no exception. I found Anna, Isab and
Russell off to an audition for a thesis film in CSB last Wednesday, and
we ended up having dinner plus dessert in the area, talking about having
your own country, crazy currencies, sovereignty (yes, pa-deep muna),
actors equity in the country, to crazy new names for actors' networking
sites, gang names, and pop-up bills for money, hahaha.
Another similar occasion was yesterday (as I write this post). After
work, I had nothing to do but I didn't really want to go home just yet,
so I went out with Faye, Julie and Meeko for lunch at Greenbelt. At
first, we had no idea where to eat, but after a freaky cockroach
experience before we ordered at the first restaurant that we decided on,
we decided to change and walked directly to Conti's. Crazy
conversations galore, and we ended up in various stages of food coma by
the time we were finished with dessert.
A new week is starting. I wonder what's in store this week.
