Best Buds

The years of being apart haven't really changed things much. Everything was just as it was before - from the okrayan, the practical jokes, the pasikatan/palamangan, the words per minute that could very well beat world records and even up to Inan's finishing off my leftovers.

We were just together for 3 hours, but it was 3 hours of quality time indeed. Funny how he remembers my previous crushes when I myself can't remember the guys themselves..hahaha..

It was also weird when he said that the one word he can always remember me by is "delve" as he claims I was the only one he knows in college who uses this word during normal conversation. It was somewhat like having a deja vu with Paige with "ensconce" and Michelle (?) with "pejorative"...=)

Being the one who first called me a "Cotton" as I get to absorb the emotions of people around me or that I get to dwell on negative emotions too long, he frowned as he still sees that characteristic in me...=(

I was struck though, with what he said about one of his favorite TV shows, about finding sense in something that was really a nonsense in the first place...finding meaning in something so meaningless...

With this, I got to thinking that perhaps, it really depends on one's outlook how one perceives a certain experience; how one assesses that experience depending on one's perspective in life. Like one person can find his work pointless but another can view the same work as fulfilling. And to this example, I can say: "The dignity of labor is in the laborer itself"...

Anyways, I'm excited though as I got another booking as Wedding Singer...=D
