*smile*

     I can’t believe am smiling, much less laughin’ at this moment, inside this cramped hotel room of ours.  I was checking my multiply blog and read Oliver’s reply to a post a made:

    "aha, this The One with I Don’t Wanna Be by Gavin Degraw?

     Weeks ago we had a small chat over YM about my Blog titles here in Friendster which most often starts with "The One With.." except for titles of poems or songs.   I can’t believe that until now he’s still teasing me with it. 

     For those who are also curious with my Blog titles, it’s just a show of

Me, Oliver & Tina at Gerry’s Grill Eastwood, my bday 2005

fascination with the TV series FRIENDS, the first TV series I loved before I got hooked up with Smallville, Gilmore Girls and Charmed, in that order.   Notice that Friend’s episode titles often start with "The One With.." except for their first and last episode which are titled "The Pilot" and "The Last One" respectively.

     He teased me so much that we had a good laugh with it.  He was trying to re-title my posts like the poem I wrote in my dire depression as "The One With Nangungulila", hehehe.  He’s quite a teaser, ain’t he?

We’ve been quite busy during the past few weekends driving from place to place.  Last Friday, we drove 9.5 hours to Atlanta, Georgia, not to go sight seeing though, we’ve been to Atlanta a couple of times or so already, but to party with our friends – it’s Donnie’s birthday.

Party started last Friday, but we got to the place at around 3 am EST Saturday.  Everyone was there, well, almost.  We all got to know each other in NC so almost all visitors came from there, but since a lot of us have moved due to work related reasons, those who moved very far didn’t make it to the party:

  1. Mommy Odette and her family moved to Baltimore, MD since she was assigned there now, and couldn’t make it since it is about 11 hours drive.  We miss them very much, especially Brendan and Pauline.

  2. Rojie and Zorina who moved to Connecticut initially for a vacation but stayed there until everything is settled.  We don’t blame them for not coming coz it’ll be a 16 hour drive ( I think so).

  3. Ate Amy, Tolits and Aldwin who are staying in Baton Rouge, LA but drove to Columbia, SC for the weekend to pick up their vehicle.

  4. Ka Resty and Family.  Ka Resty had to work for the weekend, he’s in New Orleans, but his family is in Raleigh.

  5. Anton who need to be with his best friend Ek in Dallas and he had to attend a Debut Party.

I’m sorry I am not good with names, and I think I may have forgotten a family in my list, I am really sorry for that.

Dsc00709We had quite a few events during the 3 days of partying and I must say, our drive is really worth every single minute of being with our friends.  Aside from taking Donnie to the hospital last Sunday – his birthday because he had too much to drink, everything went on fine.  This is one party we will never ever forget.  I just wish there are more get-togethers to come, and I hope we stay near with the others so it’ll not be too long a drive.
