It must be summer cos the streets are bare

March 20th, 2003 with 256 views

Lousy news. My cousins from the States aren’t coming to the Philippines anymore because of the pneumonia epidemic in Asia. Which really sucks, because that means I won’t be able to go to the beach anymore. Our senior class trip won’t even push through cos a lot of the parents weren’t so hot about the idea. I can’t believe it…no going to the beach this summer! :( So aside from a trip to Baguio, I’m pretty much staying here in Metro Manila the entire time. *sigh*

Possible things I can do to occupy myself for the next three months:
* Work on my novel (when I get my Dana)
* Learn how to cook Filipino dishes
* Revamp my entire wardrobe
* Make Stephen and Victor’s websites
* Do some photography (when I get my digital cam)
* Finish Suikoden 3

I’d like to add “Party a lot” to the list but Kriya and Chris are going to the States, Glaiza will be in the province, and the rest of my friends aren’t night owls like me. :P

I spent literally my entire afternoon talking to Jason on the phone. Five hours! Talk about breaking the record for my longest phone conversation (around four hours with Stephen a couple of years ago). Not only that, but it was an overseas call too. We talked about everything, and even though I loved every minute of it I felt guilty for staying so long. When people do nice things for me or spend money because of me, I always feel guilty about it afterwards.

I’ve already made up my mind on what to do for my birthday. But that means I’ll need to call up my friends and ask them if they’re okay with it, and right now I don’t feel like going anywhere near the damn phone.

    Yeh, Lauryn it’s me. It’s a good thing you still remember you. I used to trip over your purple contacts.. remember that? Anyway, I’m not in the Philippines anymore. I’m here in the states. I might go back there for college though because I don’t really like it here. I’ll be there in the Philippines around the second week of June. So, see you there? Kick it off some time? I really think that’s a good idea! Ü

    I disagree. It’s not that we aren’t night owls like you, but we aren’t always allowed by our parents to go out at night. If i get into UPLB, it will be street parties every night for me!:) See you on monday. By the way, what are your plans for your birthday?
