I spent my new year with my adopted sistahs, Tata and Inday.  I actually had a blast with them. Tata came home for the Christmas season and I'm so happy that she did. Inday's friend, the super thin and super pretty and super in-love Carla (whew!) was also there so it was a party of five. Yes five, because Micmic was also there! We organised an exchange gift party for the last minute. Karen and Rio Anne's supposed to join but they feigned lack of funds to be the reason that they can't (aba!). So it's just the five of us. I bought a mug for my SP (I won't tell you the price hehe). T'was funny cos Micmic's gift was SOO BIG, the four (girls) of us were each hoping that it'll be our name that he's gonna pick (Inday's the lucky one). The picking part came, Micmic's my SP so the mug with the working-out-smiley design (it's really for him!) went to his kitchen table. Tata picked my name so I had the cheap photo frame as a gift *yuck! hehe*

There wasn't so much "palupok" last night. I didn't feel like it was New Year at all. But I was so happy to be with my friends. We did "pasirit," ate a little at Mic's place then danced like crazy! More pics to come!

My classmates in high school were also there; Benito "Batuk" and Ken Lampitco. Ken said something that goes, "Dalaga kana gale Van..." I didn't know if I'd be offended or flattered. Like hello? I've been menstruating for 10 years... In high school I was probably such a shortie that they didn't consider me dalaga at all. No wonder my crush didn't notice me. At my workplace, they'd still call me Baby Van when I'm obviously past the infancy stage (euphemisms, euphemisms!). In college, I was nicknamed Gloria (after our infamous president) behind my back and not because I had a boyfriend named Mike but because... yes, you guess it... because of my height. I'm very sensitive about my height so let me not dwell on that. But then, because it was New Year anyway, I took the opportunity to jump up and down (they said it'll make you grow taller). Ah well, no harm in trying who knows I might grow even if it's just 1 inch (1 inch means a lot already!)

Anyhoo, I'm really looking forward to have a challenging year. I was planning to make a long 2005 farewell letter to my friends but my eyes are drooping already so I'll just say let's make the best of this year mi amigos and mi amigas!

Goodbye, 2005! Hello, 2006!
