Day to Day

TGIF's was the kind of sad you feel when you realize this is what's called maturity. Hanging out at brea, with the kids I hung around brea with four years ago, was unsettling. Laurie is now living the life of an interior designer, in an apartment in downtown los angeles with a crazy 30 yr old korean girl (sounds fuckin rad). Sherwin's well on his way to graduating pharm school, perhaps doing rotations in SD next year, where we'll finally live that will & grace life we've dreamed of. Paola is fucking dope and on her way to being a succesful RN, and is in a relationship I seriously respect (I know it weirds you out whenever I say this, but it's so true). Gibu's gunna be a doctor soon enough, start traveling the world with his romantic counterpart next summer. Jt's doing the new york, europe, back to get married route with his already preset job. Julia's words put it best "2008 is the year". The year we're going to start figuring things out.





Where am I? My dreams of being a journalist or going into advertising are by far the most insecure relative to my friends'. Money, I don't even want to get into since I just paid another $300 ticket. New friends? I mean they're there, but it's not like what I've found in San Diego is something that's going to profoundly affect me the rest of my life. I've seem to relive highschool through college, and not all successfully. Sure, I'm a VP for Kaibigang Pilipino, but I could do more. I will do more.

"ba ba...ba ba..this is the sound of settling"

Hanging around with the former SGJC was sobering as well. We've grown up, and we're still the same. There's a level of comfort that will never disappear with this quartet, but it's not a level any of us will compromise our new lives for. Oh, but the adventures. They'll happen again someday, hopefully before we all settle down..in what, 5 years?

I've been to brea mall 3 times within the last 2 days. WTF.
