after not voting, friends came by

friends from cebu and palo came by my house to laugh. yes, the purpose was to laugh. i am not sure if they too were tired of election, they voted yes, but surely for me it was a relief after not voting this election.

ban2t and rman are the two most wonderful company i ever have these days, not to mention i've been blessed with such friendship since years and years ago. the magic is there, the magic to laugh. our ability to laugh is actually a gift, because one word is enough to keep the ball rolling. since we are all working now, things have changed in as far as the frequency of our fellowship is concerned.

their visit was highlighted with pinasugbo, a pasalubong brought by arman from cebu. it was more of a gesture of hey i am home than of fondness for pinasugbo. in fact ban2t did not eat that, but i had a good time having pinasugbo all by myself. that is actually my favorite, especially if it is iloilo made.

the afternoon visit brought us to the airport to watch the airplane land and fly. of course, we made fun of the flying and landing, and made up stories of passengers walking by, finally home. (ang probably laughing too that they are now finally home.)

dinner was served earlier, thanks to gemma, my niece, who really now has improved a lot in her cooking skills. we ended up in jose karlos for a wonderful after-dinner coffee, though that did not make us coffee addicts.

ban2t parted ways at 10pm past. rman and i, while waiting for a jeepney going home, talked to our hearts content until 2:30am, in the corner, in a sidewalk. i observed that one san jose jeep passed by us for already 5 times before we finally boarded and called it a night.

i will miss such companionship. in fact, we already missed one companion who is now in thailand. we missed ate nila in pep talks and pep laughs such as the one we just have had.

life goes on.
