Whirlwind

The last two weeks went by like a whirlwind. Finished fast, blurry with so many memories to cherish.

Like Rikki's despedida from Orix. He was a former officemate. I do owe him much for inviting me to join the IT family. That is 'IT & Friend' proud to be the original member of that. Glad that the group seems to have more friends now and the more is the merrier. I know he's had it rough, but you'll admire his courage. Instead of sulking in the misery of life, he's still here smiling and full of fun. I admire him for that. I did tell him, let's keep in touch. Ofcourse, he made a joke about the touching part yet he said he'll definitely come and see me here in Ortigas.

I went to my nephew/godson's birthday party. Had two kiddie parties last month, and here I am back again in Jollibee. Can't say I'm complaining. I love Chickenjoy! :P Here is Jumong, such a big boy already. Though they are distant cousins, it's nice we still get together like this.

I also saw for the first time another nephew/godson of mine, Xandrei, he's now 6 yrs old! I remember not being able to make it to his baptism because of work. I see their parents often after that in reunions, unfortunately, Xandrei wasn't with them on those occassions. He doesn't know me, ofcourse. He remembers me though as Ninang Roan for the gifts I sent him every christmas without fail. It got me wondering why they wanted me to be the Ninang... would I be a good spiritual guide? hm....

And to think last Sunday, i went to see my 'future' goddaughter, Elle. The Baptism will happen in October. One more child to look after, I'm very honored. She's the sweetest child, with really long lashes like her mom. Also looks looks like her grandmother on her mom's side.

I was out and about for two weeks, meeting friends, visiting mamang in the hospital. Culminating with... riding a big bike.

That was just, heaven. The wind in your face and the howling of it in your ears...

I just realized now... this is probably the reason why I wasn't able to sleep much up to this day. Maybe I miss it. Or him.
