Celebrating my 17th Birthday, Cellphone-style
TO TOO TOOT TOO TOO TO TO TOOT x50
Ahh.. finally it's over. All the reflecting, meditating, smoke, cellphone ringing, cold weather, rain, swampland outside, and part of Merlin has been left behind to the word we name as "yesterday". I did not expect my day to grow from a cellphone. I had invited friends over and was already okay if they couldn't attend because it was raining really hard today. Not one ray of sunshine actually hit the area I believe.
The only guest I had was Paulo Cristobal (Chope), a high school friend. None of my college friends could attend, which was ok once again, and they do live far away. I spent the day in my room, watching TV or surfing the web. I got to chat with Bryan, and I let Chope chat with Bryan. Chope was really happy, or at least cheered up with Bryan's presence online. It's the first time they've had contact since Bryan left last April 20. I let the two chat as I went outside into the dining room and back in.
Throughout the day I received txt msgs. from so many people. Again, I didn't expect I'd receive much. I thought they'd just say it at school "advance" and then they'd all go on with their weekends and election campaigns or whatever. But it wasn't that way, I did receive msgs. Even if they came in an hour late from being sent.
The food wasn't much. I mean, I do give credit to my mom and my Uncle who prepared tasty seafoods. Large Shrimps and Crabs. The crabs I never got to though. There wasn't any BBQ and Pizza, two things I kinda wanted the most to have on this rainy day. I wanted a San Mig Light... as If I've had one!! LOL ...and just drink. I just felt like drinking. I felt like drinking when I excused myself from Queen Mab and Merlin (on Studio 23) and went into the dark Living Room.
In the living room.
I sat on the couch.
Glanced at the many parts of the couch there.
Glanced at the darkness... stillness.. of the room.
Pictured it exactly ONE YEAR AGO. (as seen in the pictures linked from a previous posted entry here in this blog)
I saw Rom singing kareoke. I saw Rowena on one side just watching Rissa and them sing. I saw Dinna... I saw Popoy... I saw Ronald holding my stuffed dolphin. I then saw my whole batch on that couch smiling for the camera.
For a moment. I felt like I was really there.
I heard voices. I closed my eyes to embrace the sounds... in my Room I heard the door open and inside I heard Hyun and Min laughing as Tekken Tag Tournament was being played. I heard voices as If I was still a Senior in High School...
I was there. But they wearn't.
I was shattered by a telephone call. I stopped reminiscing and answered the phone. It was Rom. From Kareoke one year ago to telephone. We spoke shortly and hung up.
I retreated to my room to go on the internet. And receive a few more txts. It makes me wonder though... I mean, maybe she's reading this or not... or is too busy which is ok since she is UP by the ways. She sticks out, no offense. I just got a greeting from nearly everyone. Batchmates and a teacher from High School... my new friends from College... from some of my Relatives... from people at a Charmed forum... and yet she's still there. One of the Seven in that framed black and white picture I still keep and treasure.
Wherever you are.... I will always be there for you. I promise.
