I can't really say I am too busy. I can't really say I have nothing to blog about. There is so much time to spare (not even counting yet the number of hours I oversleep daily!!). And there is so much going on in my life and in my surroundings.

So why haven't I been blogging? I dunno. But I will volunteer an answer. Maybe I am overwhelmed by everything, absolutely everything. That even before I start writing about things, my brain synapses suddenly send excited messages urging me to start my entry with one topic or another.

In other words, I am simply disorganized. No matter how organized I think I am.

----------------

The past weekend's schedule was again full. After the first major DP on Saturday, we went straight to Dreamscape Galleria to attend the birthday party of Ralph Gabriel, lovingly nicked Buchoy. Buchoy is C's kid.

At one point in time, I swore I would boycott any party thrown by C. Who wouldn't? She would miss most of our gatherings. She didn't invite us, her considered close friends, to her wedding (both civil and church) and to Buchoy's dedication. Those three ocassions were actually done in secret. Nagulat na lang kami nung nabalitaan namin na nangyari na ang mga iyon. Who wouldn't feel betrayed?

But Mhel and I attended. Because C went out of her way to reach me and deliver the invite. Baka nagbabagong buhay, pagbigyan.

-----------------------

We left the party early because Mhel, Gian and I had a Badminton Levelling to go to. When we got to courts, my partner Freegal have not arrived as well as Gian's pard. Roy, Mhel's partner, was there though.

Then we realized that there is an age limit. One must be sixteen in order to join, which makes Gian not qualified. Some of his friends faked their age and got away with it. Gian was thinking of doing the same thing. I dissuaded him even if his looks and built would pass as a sixteener. Lying has never been an option for me. Besides, the tourney is such a big event that if they were questioned later on and was found out that they were not qualified to join in the first place, they might be banned for who-knows-until when.

So only Mhel and I got to join. We were done in less than an hour unlike AJ who was there at 9am, waited for 3.5 hours, and was levelled for 4minutes. We were lucky.

--------------------------

Next came the usual saturday afternoon badminton games at c650. I played about 4-5 games (can't remember!) and decided to stop when I felt my throat to get really sore.

Before the night ended, my voice was hoarse and my eyes watery. I was sorry I ate and drank too much sugar that day! I definitely caught the colds virus (remembering that I missed to take VitC for the last three days).

I hate being sick and there's still the family lunch to go to the next day. Sigh.

-------------------------

I had a restful night and at 10am Sunday, Mom called, said that they can't leave Bulacan coz they couldn't find dad yet, and insisted that we should go early to Makati to reserve seats or we would be dining elsewhere. Or she suggested that I call Dad's Glorietta to reserve tables for us. We are 25-30 pax and that could prove that I will have a hard time getting slots at such short notice.

I took my chance and tried calling my friend Rissa first but she missed my calls. She was either still asleep or already busy at work. So, kapalmuks that I am, I texted her mother, Tita N, instead, someone I haven't talked to since I left my old company. I told Tita N what I needed, asked her what I should do and she suggested that I should just go early that being a Sunday and probably a busy day too. I was kinda disappointed that she could not help me but another text came in saying that she could not promise anything but she already informed the OIC for the day to expect us. And a little later saying that she actually got tables for us and that we should look for this person should any problem arise. I couldn't thank her enough! And she replied, something that made me really smile, "I'll go back to mass na, ha ha!". Such a cool tita. Of course, I did not reply anymore. I bugged her enough. I decided to just text her later on.

But she called me just before we left the house! And excitedly asked me, "Pamanhikan na ba yan?" Tita N has always been interested in our love stories that she wants to be updated all the time. So I said, "hindi po, tapos na po iyon last week. Birthday po ng lolo namin." And while on the subject, I decided to tell her that we chose her as one of our ninangs and that we will schedule to visit her once everything is okay. Her replies were, "Naku ang taba ko, ayoko yata! Kelan ba yun? Ah July pa. Okay may time pa magpapayat! Pero naku baka sa probinsya yan, walanghiya ka, wag mo ko pahirapan!" Coolness, ayt?! Teehee! Can't wait to meet up with her!!

-------------------------

I can see I have yakked on and on again. This is the result when everything happens one after another. My life is truly an adventure.
