surprise
November 14, 2006 by itsnosecret
last friday was my friend Lorena’s birthday. my barkada back in Manila were planning a surpirse get-together for her later that night, and in preparation for that surprise Herbert asked me to hold my greetings until zero hour (to be determined by them) when they’d all be together. i, of course, gamely cooperated.
it was about 9pm already and they still hadn’t given me the go-signal to greet her, and i was about to sleep already. i asked herbert and he said "ok greet her na". naturally, i texted her saying: Happy birthday dear! i hope you enjoyed their surprise. apparently, they haven’t actually sprung the surprise yet so i sort of spoiled it for them. malay ko ba?! hahahahahaha!
nonetheless, i’m sure they all had a great time having dinner together — as we always do whenever the barkada is complete. but they weren’t complete that time, Indyanehpaul didn’t make it, i was here in Boracay, and Bong far away in Melbourne. <sigh> i kinda miss being with my friends (even only on special occasions, when we usually get together). i hope come Christmastime i can be with my loved ones and catch up on each other’s stories.
on a happier note, my arki friends Olive & VJ are coming to Boracay next week and i’ll be taking them in for one night in my room. then they’ll be moving to the similarly plush <evil snicker> Pearl of the Pacific resort for the following three days. i’m so excited! it’s not so often that friends from Manila come over and visit me in Boracay (aside from vacationing, of course). the last was She and Everette in September, then my family last month. i can’t wait for the next!
e kayo kailan kaya?
Can I stay with you too when I go there? Hehehe.
Sure! All my friends are welcome to stay with me but you better be warned; my living arrangement is very basic and spartan. No aircon, no fancy toilet, pure provincial fare. Plus, I can only accommodate 2 people max at a given time.
