Saturday night (and other musings)

I'm currently at Joyce's just hanging around (yup, at 3:58 am). Joyce is still working over some details for their firm's project while I...anyway, I was suppose to edit some essays but I couldn't access the website for some reason. Oh well.:(

I had a fun time last night. I spent the evening in the company of Joyce, her 'stalkers', her atsi and her atsi's friends. So why was I with Joyce on a fine Saturday night? It all started when Joyce informed me that she badly needed to go out. (emphasis on the word 'need') One of her atsi's friends works as a researcher for ad agencies, and she was doing a lifestyle check on yuppies like Joyce. Part of the lifestyle check was checking out the places people like Joyce hang out after work or on weekends, and she was planning on trailing Joyce for one entire day - from morning till night. So hence the need to go out -- and I was 'dragged' into it.^^

Anyway, I'm glad I went on that 'lifestyle' check -- after almost being with them for 6 hours, my sides were really aching from laughter. Two of Sally's (Joyce's atsi) friends were so animated and chatty the entire time. We also ate at two places I would recommend to anyone - Burgoo's and Cafe Breton. (Finally...after months of eating in fancy but so-so places)

I'm also glad I went out with Joyce. I think I could only count with one hand the number of times we went out after we entered our respective firms. :( I also saw the Anilao beach pic on Joyce's headboard along with a pic taken during our graduation. I got so senti...it's been ages since I really saw all of them together. Heck. I would probably never see them all in one room together.

It's one of those times that I feel that things are so surreal. It only seems like yesterday when I was talking about summer nights spent being submerged in a vast pool (the beach trip, in my blurty journal) and savoring the moment of being There...in That moment, time and place. Then my mind starts to race fast forward and I realize that there were so many things that had happened since then.

Oh well. I guess we all just have to learn to move on.

On a less sentimental (and happier) note, I just want to share that I'm really happy for my schoolmates and officemates who passed the boards.:) Two of them even made the top ten list.
