Good old friends
I don’t think it’s easy to replace your good old friends. It’s just never done. You can find new ones but can you actually find one who can replace a friend you’ve had for the past 19 years of your life? I don’t think so. I have three girl friends I’ve been friends with since [...]
Coffee with friends
One thing that is certain when my friends and I are together is that after a meal, we would grab a cup of coffee. It can be in Starbucks or Coffee Bean or UCC. Even in Seattle’s Best. As long as we can have our coffee after. If we don’t get our coffee after our [...]
Four no more
By January, there will be only three left of us. No more of the one that we can easily drag to anywhere in the country! It’ll just be three of us who will be having cups of coffee together. It’ll be just the three of us who will be dining and having girl talks. I [...]
Downpours
Torrential downpour. When there’s one, I feel like fixing a pitcher of coffee and putting it beside me on my desk. I feel like drinking something hot until the rain stops. For weeks now, there’s been sporadic downpours in this city. It’s been good because we got rid of some of the smog clogging the [...]
At the cafe
Do you know why I love drinking coffee outside the cafe? It’s because I can look at the pedestrian passing by and observe humanity from where I sat. I love observing people. I love seeing the many expressions that cross their faces. I also love speculating on what they are actually thinking of. I remember [...]
Patience…
There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm. – Willa Cather I am a very impatient person by nature. I was so used to getting everything I wanted in an instant. I guess you can say I was a spoiled kid. And it had a lot to do with how [...]
Lured to a cult
I don’t know why there are so many people being lured to join cults. Human nature tells you to bond with another human being, join a group, worship the same gods others worship. Human instinct will tell you that the situation you are in is no longer healthy and safe. Remember David Koresh? That sick [...]
Meeting friends in cafes
I always look forward to seeing friends. I especially love meeting them at cafes. A cup of coffee is always a good partner to a good conversation, don’t you think? And have you also noticed how you can’t seem to finish off the coffee? It’s because we all want to linger and prolong the moment. [...]
Mother and son
There is nothing stronger than a bond between a mother and her child. Maybe, that is the reason why he is sort of rebelling, going against the wishes of those who care about it. Maybe he needs his mother with whom he had a much stronger bond. I actually pity him. When he was a [...]
Facebook and maturity
You know, being active in Facebook has given me a lot of opportunity to get to know some people I used to ignore back in high school. There are some girls that I didn’t want to be friends with simply because I didn’t like how they looked at me. It turned out that they are [...]
New beginnings
There is something about a train or a railroad track that makes me think of new beginnings. Whenever I pass by the railroad station in the city, I would start imagining what it would be like to fill my backpack with the necessities and just hop on the train to go where the journey ends. [...]
A pricey cup of coffee
I remember there was a time that I couldn’t meet friends at coffee shops for the simple reason that I didn’t have enough funds with me to buy a pricey cup of coffee. It was fine with me, I’d just meet them elsewhere, at a place where I need not have excess cash to tap [...]
