What do you do in your alone time?

I’ve just realized that since I came back I’ve had so much time alone with myself.

These are the times when you can think about yourself, your life, and memories keep on flashing back with background music if you’re lucky.

While you are in the jeep, FX, while waiting for your order (yes, I eat alone. That’s how much I am alone these days), while waiting to be called on a job interview, whether this alone time is by chance or you gave yourself some time with yourself. So redundant!

During these times, I usually write To-do lists, and all the things I wanna buy. Other times, I get carried away by a song or the song takes me on a flashback. On days when I crave for something, I treat myself and carelessly eat whatever I want.

Just like today, when I went back to EAC to get my transcript. It’s just been a year, it looks so much like how we left it, but it felt different. There we’re a lot of unfamiliar faces, a lot of new schemes, and for a moment I thought I would get lost.

Alone time makes you realize, look back, and think about a lot of things that you don’t really get to think about on a daily basis.

Things like, “I will buy a white sneakers, when I get a job”, or “Eiww! That was our song!”. Whatever it is, it makes you nostalgic and slightly emotional.


So what do you do in your alone time?

Other things on my mind

Changes

Last week during my sister’s birthday, I invited only a few of my friends. Number 1 reason is that, I’m not the celebrator, secondly, I wanted not to make “asikaso”. As my father says, “kayo na bahala, hindi na kayo bisita.”

My friend (who I shall not name), is dating a guy whom we don’t know anything about, except his name, has been a revelation. She’s not telling us the details, which is not like her. We’re not offended or anything, but we are just so surprised that that’s how she is pala when she’s dating. Hehehe. We’re actually are all happy that she is happy and enjoying the dating scene.
I just hope this guy would be good to here. That’s all that matters.

Her “love life” has been a realization to me and another friend. It’s so grown-up! I mean, I never imagined us talking about something like that in like 5 years! It only makes me feel old and I’m scared! Hehehe


Who cares?!

I don’t care! Yun lang!


Missing Nate and Zoe

They have just been gone for days now, but I miss Nate talking in Tagalog, singing Pinoy Ako and Straight na Natural. Although that kid made me think about having a child, he’s still the most adorable, funny, little cousin I have! And he’s like my baby too.

And Zoe, I was there when she was still in her mom’s tummy. And I was one of the first ones to see her when she came out of this world, changed her diapers, fed her, burped her. She is really Ate Kaye’s baby. And I promised myself to always send her cards and a birthday dresses until she’s sick of it! I’m gonna spoil her rotten!

I miss my babies!


I also miss my tita and tito whose been my second family. They’ve been thanking me lots, for helping them out last year, but it was really me whom they’ve helped. They’ve given me an opportunity to learn and finally accept that I’m an adult and have responsibilities to myself.
They took care of me too, while I helped them take care of their little ones.

And what I’ve really missed, is the Wi-Fi there! Haaaay! Hehehe
