Randomly sentimental

It's almost 2am, and though I feel "puyat", somehow I can't sleep. I find myself coasting through this monster called Friendster, and I realize that there are so many people I am missing. Places, too. Like the beach. I wish I could go visit Puerto Princesa for a couple of weeks. I miss chilling out at Rambie's and getting wasted at Kinabuch... I miss miss miss those Vitara caravans to Nagtabon and Sabang, and celebrating Pagdidiwata at Kamarikutan. I miss Rambs and Kathy and Jay and Wally and Pido and Gener... I could go on and on and on...

I miss Bagasbas and Daet and San Jose. I hope the Surf trip this October pushes through. It would be wonderful to be back, and just be chasing the waves again. It would be so much fun to be able to introduce JP and our friends to the surf and the beach and the Shak and the CNSA boys and the fifteen-peso-laing-meals and the runway and of course, to the "stoke." They'd love it there. Anyone would, so come with if you want, everyone's welcome.

I miss my GMA friends. That year or so working at Wish was definitely some of the best times ever. I don't know if I ever said it, but it was a life-defining experience to have worked for that show, and that is no exaggeration. And we had such a great, happy team. So to Dredd, Melo, Joni, Chi, Joy, Eliza, Jing, and the boys of course including Kuya Totoy and Rogelio... I hope you're all well. I hope to see you soon.

Gosh... who knew insomnia can provoke such an outpouring of affection? I guess I'm just making reparation for not really keeping in touch with friends... I've never really been good at that... At any rate, I guess my friends can read this and know for sure that they're never really out of my mind, no matter how quiet and unresponsive I can get sometimes.  I really should make a better effort. :) There's this little known song, the theme from that movie Major League - that Charlie Sheen movie way back when none of us knew that Charlie Sheen was jerk. Anyhow, the chorus of that song goes like this:

Sometimes you get so busy running
Running round in circles
You never see you're going nowhere
Sometimes you get so busy chasing
Chasing after rainbows
You look around your life and find noone's there...

Sad no? And I will confess that this lyric sums up of my few real fears... I guess it's unfounded, since I know I have amazing friends who will always be there for me and with me. Still, there really isn't much anything more precious in life than the love of your family and friends - and I really ought to try harder to let the people in my life know just how I appreciate the simple fact that they're there. I guess this could be the first step...
