Girlfriend Duty November 24, 2008

I was obliged to join Shin last Saturday at a birthday party of one his law school friends. Although I am quite acquainted with his new buddies, I never really enjoyed talking with any one from law school except for Shin, some of our college friends and our attorneys at CMID. My lawyer friends know this especially when we interview CMID applicants that are law graduates, some of them just talk as if they have the whole world on their hands.
I went with Shin half-expecting that I would be quiet, giving out polite acknowledging smiles when introduced, since I don’t have the guts to socialize after an exhausting school day. It was simply just a girlfriend duty for me and I thought I’d look forward to going home the whole time we were there.
But it turned out otherwise, I really really enjoyed myself. It was the first time after a long while that I have been to such a crazy inuman. I mean I was laughing my insides away to their anecdotes of professors calling students by showbiz names, uber jologs jokes about the classmates they don’t like, stories of closeted gays in law school, lasingan bloopers of everyone and many more. They were really just making fun of themselves and someone was even dancing to “My boy lollipop…” It was such a crazy night and it reminded me of our drinking sessions during college.
It was weird though that I was with the boys the whole time, not that I don’t want to be friends with the other girlfriends who seem to be forming a “girlfriends club.” It was just insanely fun and well, fun, hehehe.
I just realized after that that was one of the few times I went with Shin to an event of his. Most of the time, it was him fulfilling boyfriend duties, attending parties I go to, coming with me to the bazaars and even to some family affairs. I was just happy I was there for him and even more because I enjoyed myself as much as he did.

Congratulations to Geoff Rodriguez and Tisha Silang for placing second in The Amazing Race Asia 3 – tagged as the toughest race ever. It’s the second consecutive time that the Philippines bagged one of the top three spots and I feel so proud. 
There’s still the feeling of frustration though because they could have really won the race but due to some uncontrollable events like getting the wrong cab driver and their unnecessary quarrels, they were beaten by the Hong Kong boys who at the start of the last leg had to take a four-hour penalty.
Still, it’s another feat for the Philippines and a new standard for the next Filipino racers.

Money can’t buy it… baby
Sex can’t buy it… baby
Drugs can’t buy it… baby
You can’t buy it… baby
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in love alone yeah yeah
Take the power to set you free
Kick down the door and throw away the key
Give up your needs…
Your poisoned seeds
Find yourself elected to a different kind of creed
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in the power of creation
I believe in the good vibration
I believe in love alone yeah yeah
Won’t somebody tell me what we’re coming to
It might take forever till we watch those dreams come true
All the money in the world won’t buy you peace of mind
You can have it all but you still won’t be satisfied
Money can’t buy it… baby
Sex can’t buy it… baby
Drugs can’t buy it… baby
You can’t buy it… baby
Now…
Hear this
Pay attention to me
’cause I’m a rich white girl and it’s plain to see
i got every kind of thing that the money can buy
Let me tell you all about it
Let me amplify
I got DIAMONDS…
You heard about those
I got so many that I can’t close my safe at night in the dark
Lying awake in a sick dream
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe that love alone might do these things for you
I believe in the power of creation
I believe in the good vibration
I believe in love alone yeah yeah

Gosh!, I have been like a crazy bunny for the past days. My parents are out of the country for a week now and manning the house, “taking care” of my siblings while juggling time with my work and the other stuff I have in my hands are driving me nuts. But it’s me who never says no to anything so the blame’s all mine…
I am starting to get busy again since the 2nd semester has started and except for the tiny glitch in my grades that the grad school office has to fix for me, everything’s looking pretty good. I enrolled for Advertising and Promotions Management under ABS-CBN VP for Corporate Communications Bong Osorio, so that’s something I’m really happy and excited about.
Last week was a shift from the depressing and down mood I’ve been wearing days before it. I was able to go out and see some friends and felt like everything was back to where it should be.
We celebrated the birthday of one of my best girlfriends (Happy Birthday Kulot!) last Thursday over dinner at Cyma and a saw a nice movie afterwards. The Women was a feel-good story of four friends who even at their not-so-young ages were still together through thick and thin. And when one of them had to undergo the “when all hell breaks loose” episode of a cheating husband and a nearly collapsing family, the rest were present to help in their own (even stupid) ways despite having their own share of big problems.
It was a witty and realistic plot that not only showed that there are actually better things that come out of problems that we initially thought we couldn’t handle but it also celebrated the beauty of the kind of friendship that only our most loved and trusted girlfriends could provide. I love the part when Annette Benning and Meg Ryan made up after a fight and one of them said “Let’s be wives of each other.” It was just so touching and true for someone like me who has the best girlfriends in the worldJ.
So there, despite the busyness going on, I have been feeling really peaceful now, no more of the depressing thoughts that hounded me weeks ago. All I needed really was to get back in touch with my senses and gather all the positive vibes I can get from doing the things and loving the people that make me happy.
Christmas Alert! 37 days before the big holiday!
