friday was nina's birthday. frank, ara, janna, wapi and me went to QC for her simple celebration. unmindful of the storm we headed north for my own craving for beer and to see nina on her most special day. i was the one driving and i toured them to places i have been to in QC, especially in UP area. places i used to booze around. places were i go to whether i may be on preduty or post-duty. and ara was exclaiming there i go again reminiscing. driving down those familiar roads and seeing familiar places made me remember those good ol times. yung parehas kme walang walang pera, that all i got is 200pesos for gas and him 150 or so. we would order barbeque, isaw and liempo costing us less than a hundred then i'd buy us drinks na titipirin namin para makaabot lang ng 12mn na may iniinom pa kme. on occasions that i have more extra money, we'd buy more drinks and i go home feeling tipsy driving down edsa trying not to sleep. anyway going back, that night, i had all the beer i could get my hands on. i beleive i had 6 bottles, not to mention the shots i get whenever i go inside nina's house to pee. so there i was drunk. all the songs playing on the videoke were my songs. songs that remind me of you. i know it was a deliberate thing my friends did but somehow it felt nice, you know, being drunk, laughing insessantly, and lonely all at the same time. Hani jay, one of my barkada way back in premed was also there, the last time we saw each other was graduation, circa 2003. 4 years but it still felt like we didnt changed. makulit pa rin sya. he would tell me stories on how doctors come up to him with indescent proposals, and the how he play along (of course di sya pumapatol di ba, isa lang syang sabihin na nating magaling dumiskarte) hehe. anyway, by 1130, we decided to call it a night. frank didnt let me drive since i was so drunk. he drove my car till Makati where he dropped himself off and Sig (a PGI from PGH) was also with us and he drive us to manila until PGH. Frankie gave us two bags of pandesal para daw may almusal kme that morning. hehe from there on, i was sober enough to drive by myself and reach MCM just in time that the heavy rain poured down. i didnt brought extra clothes thinking that i could still go home. but wapi lend me his clothes, from the polo, the pants, the brief and the socks. good thing i was on early relievement the following day that i went home without even taking a bath (and yes bilang isang doctor, dapat masanay na di naliligo. hehehe).
back at home, i slept my heart out. i was awaken at 2pm with my stomach grumbling for food (since i didnt ate dinner last night and the breakfast was as good as not to eat as well). after eating i went back to bed, and woke up 7pm to blog. my body is so heavy from sleeping. i still have tom to sleep all day. perhaps ill get myself busy by cleaning my room, and doing my presentation for the case report ill be doing about neonatal hypoglycemia.
eventhough i have tons to do and millions to think of.. i dont know but i still think about you. it is a bad habit i know. even bad to send an sms from time to time eventhough i know i wouldnt be recieving a reply. im still in tha period where i still dont understand things. that there is something missing with the way we left things. why am i still hoping? why do i feel like there's a catch with all of this? this morning, as i was preparing my things, getting my used clothes off my locker and stuffing them in my bag, with the gloomy skyline that morning, i looked outside the penthouse's window, and i felt sad. 
i wonder how other people could live empty lives like this. as cars ran down the street and few people running so as no to catch the impending outpour, at the top of a building was someone wishing things could have been better. 
Post-grad interns as we practice for the 40th Celebration of MCM, we did a handmime, which to everyone's delight we had a repeat performance the night of the alumni homecoming.
Final layout of the intern's poster.. there are spaces still coz i havent been blessed with a good lighting these past few days that the rain been pouring. hopefully by this coming week i could be able to finish all the pending photo shoot.
