nostalgia

I miss
Volante and breezy afternoons
and the swingsets in Camp John Hay
and perusing the Harrison night market
playdates and play dates
our favorite box-sized eatery
baked goods with hot tea
steaming street food
feel-good films and cheap horror
gossip about our favorite people
reacting to something at the same time
(in exactly the same way)
making a big deal of getting dressed up
other people’s songs
each other’s words

and the comfort of familiarity
when you know what I’m stressed about
before I start stressing

and the warm assurance
that your plans are mostly mine too

and everything that has been so long missed
it feels like I will only ever
miss it
again.

tonight I will cut my nails and prepare a song (or two or a set) for the UPB Mountaineers’ anniversary. I am tempted to sing Colors of the Wind but.

it has been a while since I wrote a personal post.

today was a productive day in which I:

  • blow-dried my hair after showering
  • bought bread and nail polish remover
  • picked up Coltz’s graduation gift
  • wrapped grad gifts for Coltz, Dom and Shek
  • baked a dozen vanilla-glazed sugar cookies
  • read a bit more of How They Met and Other Stories
  • finished a puzzle game on Kongregate
  • cleared out some memory on my phone

tomorrow we have practice for the commencement exercises and our college send-off party.  then I’m planning to get my nails done with Kez.  and Coltz will stay the night.

I am excited to see all the friends again but also sad because I know that some of my not-yet-graduating friends are sad about being not-yet-graduating.  I keep my own social media sites updated with graduation news but I try to show them as much love as I can.  and I find it really sweet that most of the ones who are in Baguio are going to see us off.

I can kind of feel the pre-graduation (and, prematurely, some of the post-graduation) depression settling in.  but I’ve been getting a lot of love this week from friends and family.  so I am generally happy right now. <3

I just followed FuckYeahWhatsInYourBag and I found it cool and I’d like to make a post about the contents of my little leather backpack. unfortunately, my camera’s all grainy, so I’m just going to make a list of things. :3

  • Sony Reader in a black leather case
  • blue wallet
  • small (full) photo album
  • bottle of isopropyl alcohol
  • coin purse with various pills and tablets
  • small bottle of cherry blossom lotion
  • hairbrush
  • makeup kit (eyeliners, mascara, lipsticks, lip gloss)
  • small box of eye shadows
  • set of pens in a square case
  • pack of tissue
  • pocket knife
  • pair of Samsung ear buds

sometimes I carry around my calendar or some other notebook, or a bottle of water, depending on where I am going. :D
