I met an old schoolmate this afternoon at MCAS Miramar... I was with my brother doing grocery shopping at the commisary when suddenly I heard someone called "Ate Abby!"... I turned my back and looked where it came from..she was behind me..smiling...I stared at her trying to figure out where we met or who the heck is she??? she told me, "Hindi mo na ako kilala no?"...I go like," sa LTI? .. She then laughed and told me that her name was Estella...then all of a sudden, I remembered her... we weren't able to chat that long because she is working as a cashier in the base...We just exchanged fone numbers and bid goodbye.
I don't have the best memory remebering names but for sure I will not forget how someone looks.. that's my thing... no wonder my brothers keep on teasing me about this coz all I used are descriptions which reminds me of someone... Actually, I didn't remember her coz she's all changed! She used to be this naive kinda boyish gal and now, she's all girly and stuff! She told me she's been here for almost four years and she lives in our neighborhood! Sometimes, I doubt that "small world" thingie coz I haven't seen her not even once around the supermarket or whatever! Oh well... it's nice to see her...
Shopping wise, I bought this bag that I've been dying to buy since I first saw it at the mall four years ago for $40 ...luckily, I won $20 in the raffle draw at work and my very nice Navy bro added $10 so I can have it! I really can save money everytime I go with him at the base since all their stuff are tax free...See, I saved $10 for this purchase! I still wanted to buy stuff like the Tommy Girl Summer Scent, this armband radio I can use while jogging, and VS lotions/body spray but I managed to control myself...LoL
I am planning to visit the Philippines this year but I'm just gonna be all by myself which is a NONO for me...And since my Philippine passport is expired, I'm just gonna wait til I get my citizenship, to save some money. According to my brother (who's a citizen already), it's easier when you get to the airport because they have this lane especially for citizens...This is not final yet...let's just see what happens next..

'Twas nice experience to attend the commencement this afternoon... My very first time to wear toga and march... No kidding! it was really my first time coz when I was in high school... we didn't wear one instead, we saw our own graduation dress...Anyho, I enjoyed it! It was not like in the Philippines that it'll take forever for the speaker to finish his/her speech... here, their primary focus was on the graduates! giving awards and stuff like that! It also made me think that I need to study more to earn more awards..like joining a sorority or clubs...coz I noticed that those who were members of a sorority/fraternity they get to wear this really cool stuff around their neck which makes someone so distinguished...Oh well... I still have to get my bachelors so who knows...
I had a hunger headache,too in the middle of the ceremony! Can you imagine that... I thought I'm gonna pass out while walking towards the Dean to get my diploma! LOL!
It was definitely a lovely evening!

from my inbox...
Subject: Wrong email address
WRONG EMAIL ADDRESS A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida to
thaw out during one particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the
very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel
schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday,
with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so
he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally
left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without realizing his
error, he sent the e-mail.
Meanwhile.....somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from
her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who was called home
to glory following a sudden heart attack. The widow decided to check her
e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading
the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room,
found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife Subject: I've Arrived Date: 16 May 2002
I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and
you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and
have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for
your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your
journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here

So much stuff is going on here in the US...photos taken of the POW is an embarassment to this country and to all military men!...Now, some people are changing their minds on whether they're going to support the troops or not who were out there....It's the talk of the town I can tell that...at work, in school, and even in the gym.... then this video of an American who was beheaded....also added to the turmoil that the country is facing now....tsk.tsk.tsk....

We went to the hospital yesterday.... Bong's 3 year old nephew had a minor surgery... poor kid... he didn't eat two meals because of the procedure.... and because of that..I was able to see what my instructor told me about pediatric routine....I mean how hard it is to see a kid suffering from something... it seems so unbearable...But the good news is..he's recovering...
I will be heading to the mall today to buy something for my mother... later!

Holy Moly! I woke up this morning missing the Philippines.... Maybe this has something to do about last night... we attended a birthday party and they have TFC (The Filipino Channel).... things had been so different.... I miss my life then... I still can't deny that my roots are from there....
I got to get going, my mom is cleaning the bathroom and the "bleachy" smell is starting to give me nasal congestion! Bye!
