Going to a debut...

Uhm, I went to a debut today, but this debut wasn't ordinary. This is my adventure today:

I made hatid to the airport my relatives who stayed here for 2 weeks. Oh at last, the house is now quiet (well, for a while, until grandpa arrives again). But then, dad received a text message that asking me to go to a debut. I know that there is a debut ongoing, though I really don't know the debutante. The name rang a bell but I really can't recall who she is.

So I went to my Lola Zeny's house. You all know recently that my Lolo Claro passed away last week. So my Lola started to weed out things. So she called up my dad if we could drop by and choose some clothing before she give some to others. Yes, happy that it is firstpick. Knowing that my Lolo Claro has a good sense of clothing. Then, I chose some of his clothes, and yes, even his ties. So dad said, "You can wear this."

So he really insisted me to go out of delicadeza, because they already said yes.

So I have no choice but to follow him. So I got up with the Black Polo. Mourning for the occassion.

Then I met the Eco-friends. :D yes, after a long time, we finally got to bond. Haha!

Even though we were beaten badly, I still scream one name: BANAL. :)

Then it was really really against my conscience to go, but I have to. So when I went there to a place that I haven't got before, it was really really awkward.

Then I sat up in front, and answering several text messages I haven't read. Then I heard a voice asking if I want to be part of the 18 roses. Uhm, why would you be part of that tradition if you don't know the debutante. It just felt so weird, and not so right! I just ignored, maybe, I had too much screaming done in Araneta that I have been hearing things.

So the debut started. I started writing my thesis proposal, but since it was really really noisy, I went out to finish. Grabe! A lot of hours wasted in my life that I could have devoted myself in academics.

Then after the party, I saw a half bottle-opened wine, so I drank all! Wohoo! So I was high, I ate a cake, and oh, I took home half the bottle of the Buko Pandan. What a way to crash a party! hahaha. That's what they get from inviting a stranger.

P.S. I BADLY MISS LUIS ALFONSO LIBO-ON REVILLA. He could have saved the game kanina. but nonetheless, I'll go for GAB BANAL this season, di ako makikisawsaw sa mga Joseph Marata fans (Hi Leah! hahaha)

Gaano ako kasabaw.

Dahil late na akong nagising para sa 11am presscon ng ABS-CBN, 10:30 na ako nakasakay ng MRT. 10:45 na sa relo ko, nasa Guadalupe pa lang ako. So nakakahiya baka malate ako ng bonggang-bongga. So eto ang kaganapan:

Pagitan ng Boni Station hanggang Shaw Blvd.
Me: Manong, anong oras na ba?
Manong: May relo ka ah!
Me: Eh kailangan ko po ng second opinion eh.
Manong: Sira ka ba! Doktor ba ang oras para magkaroon ng second opinion?
Me: Oo naman! 'Cause TIME HEALS WOUNDS!
Manong: Ikaw na ang pasyente! 10:53 na.

Wahahaha. Abangan ang aking MRT Adventures. wahahhaha

A Letter to my 18-year old self.

Dear 18-years old self,

Hi! In a few hours my biological clock shall put an end to your existence. I have been out of my mother's womb for 19 years and I still can't believe that it was that long.

I would like to thank you for everything you have taught me. Truly, this year had been very emotional for me. I made decisions that I am not sure of at the start, from changing publications, academics, and most importantly, personal self.

It's so hard to do such things, and you'll always be remembered by that. I never knew myself well until you came. You have taught me that I never did before, and yes, it was to think before acting.

Thanks to you, I have never been so stressed in my life. With all of what you call, natural comings, sure you tested who I really am.

I want to thank you for the privileges and responsibilities you brought me. From voting, to purchasing you know what in a 7-11 store.

Sorry if I have let you down several times, but nonetheless, I know I have made you proud too.

As now we part ways, I am thankful enough that you are so far the biggest sandpaper in my life, and like a diamond, may I be molded as you planned.

Until then, thank you!

With all I am,
Jady
