Sem-break!

It's been 2 weeks -- enough time that i gave myself in pinas to finally be back in circulation!

It has been a good 2 weeks for me -- spent most of my time at home, enjoying Angel's kisses, eating my comfort foods, catching up with the usual tv shows I missed -- bottomline, getting back on the simple doses of life's little delights...

***************************************************************************
August 30 2008 -- the Fort Open grounds -- Me, badot, hyds, len and mund were lucky enough to secure tickets for the most awaited Eheads reunion concert.. For most people our age, this is once in a lifetime, and a spectacular event every "90's-teen" shouldn't miss! Well, melodramatic as it may sound, but Eraserheads has been more than a "band" to our generation -- they practically became part of our lives during our younger years.. They were legends! For avid fans like me, this reunion concert has long been overdue --
It was almost 6 years after they disbanded, and you could imagine how crazy and unbelievably giddy the crowd felt when the screen flashed a 10-minute countdown! It was like new year's eve! Everyone stood up, shouting everytime the timer came close to 00:00.. The crowd's energy was unbelievable when finally -- Ely came up the stage and sang Alapaap. I had goosebumps!
It was as if doing a trip back to memory lane, everyone was singing along, absorbed in our own eraserheads' worlds!
It was sad though that the concert had to be cut short because Ely had to be rushed to the hospital. Well, at first we thought that it was some kind of gimmick, or maybe, we were just in denial that this can't be happening! They haven't even sang the most beautiful songs yet! But when the promoter spoke, asking for a moment of prayer, it started sinking in. The night has to come to an end, unexpectedly.
Me and my friends were so frustrated we were just silent the whole time. It was an unfortunate event, and no one wanted it to happen... just so, we were still glad that we were able take part on that once in a lifetime event--something that might not happen again.

Usual sunday routine --
Mass, lunch, ASAP, town center, coffee.

When I was in brazil, I can't count the times I imagined myself doing this sunday routine again... and today, my heart was filled with joy for having spent my sunday with len and badot, doing exactly what we were doing before.. I knew it, some things just don't change. we didn't see each other for six months, but the comfort they give my spirit is overwhelming. The stories were endless, the laughters were contagious. Truly, I have to thank heavens that I am showered with good friends. They fill my soul. They give warmth to my spirit. They saw right through me, and they loved me still.

I don't know still until when I will be staying here.
But even if I have to admit that there were moments of anxiety -- I am still enjoying every minute of my stay.
This is home! And I am still on my sem-break :)
