a month and a half ago it all seemed to be unreachable. something that was just there up in the air waiting for one of us to grab the chances of life. i clearly remember it. leaving the north car park with anya and barbie supposedly off to eat or shop at a place where we can actually share our thoughts and be senti. it was defenitely one of our let's-get-senti-because-this-might-be-our-last-gimik-as-students days. or what we can also call let's-just-be-spontaneous-day. apparently that day was not really spontaneous if we are to be true to it's word. Anya and barbie were reading their cheezy romance novels (take note. cheezy but not cheap!) and i was still worrying about .. what was that again? oh. orsem. hahahaha. :) those conversations we had are truly priceless-- intellectual talks on love (as i may say, thank you to scott peck et al.), philosophical wondering on life (yes we do even quote from our most celebrated philosophers), and even a har-di-har-har stories that only a few may truly understand.
we basically (better yet since i miss writing papers)... we fundamentally talk about dreams. our dream job (i.e. anj as yaya of anya and jig's kids and barbie is tutor for them). dream boy (oh who would ever ever forget those beaming eyes of barbie (yees even if they are small) when she says "ang nice nice ng eyes nya" (believe me she says it as if she's a certified kikay). dream house(off a cliff in italy, a mansion in france and a castle in germany). dream wedding (beach, old church, garden...) but beyond the comedy of life while driving in my limo (as sir tirol would call it) while discussing these top of head to deep deep down in our hearts dreams... we knew what we truly wanted.
today, somehow made me realize that "hay anj, it's not that far anymore." and if i was back in highschool they would say "anj, you're ithaca is near". but is it? slowly we're all walking towards our paths of these dreams-- a professional carrie bradshaw, a professional monica geller events coordinator(perhaps not a chef like her:P), and a professional condalisa rice (sorry dearie i know you're better than her :) i cant think of a icon right now:))foreign service officer.
Just today, i met up with kadiri inc (incorp and incomplete.. ) and it just feels nice to have that warm feeling again. you talk "intellectually" "philosophically" and "har-di-har-har-ly". talking about "perverts" (sorry for the term) (and kai, it really feels weird to be the girl of someone's ODD dreams!!!"oohh i wanna see you in swim wear." and as a msg to that guy "you can call me a snob but sorry, you ain't worthy hahaah" ), non-sense laughter over coffee and "oh my god barbie you're in stockings!" , and "you remember our overnight for kyoto protocol/pail of water/etc etc? when we ate popcorn/special lumpia/etc etc"it is just comforting. for some reason it's just is.
all our dreams could be happening but i believe, or i would say hope, that at the end of the road when we finally became what we wanted to be and have during those afternoon conversations of spontaneous days... we'll all gather up over a cup of coffee or tea, have a pizza day, sit on a bench at the ss lobby, text uncle fester to expect us to sit in, and laugh over matters of life, love and har-di-har-har stories.
thanks much guys for letting me be. (ohhh sounds philosophical huh? hehehe) but i love you, i really do!
so here's to the night where we all meet up at manila peninsula for ice cream, together with barbie's bodyguards and other dignitaries, dr. kai dela cruz rushing out from makati med after conducting a heart surgery (i do hope she's not in scrubs when she gets to teh hotel), anya rushing to meet up for she came from a photoshoot( i.e. she's the model OR she's in charge of the shoot) and atty. jig (yawzah!!) who just came in from court from a hearing, nice who's the VP of nestle yogurt (:P) and atty. anton who was comming from a client meeting, (both by the way just came from the grocery-shopping), val who just came from managing her exporting business and was just fetched by frey, a terror teacher in ateneo for philosophy AND french, and i, anj ferreria-_______ (yes i will hyphenate my last name IF i do get married) EU/UN events organizer. I know the agenda when we all meet up at that night: A trip to bora, baguio, europe and even perhaps by that time, the moon. But nonetheless, i know the conversation over ice cream will truly warm my heart.
it could happen. it would happen. it should happen.
deep in my heart, i know it will.
