It's Friday! I don't know what kind of witchery Fridays have on me, but it always brings good vibes when I wake up to it. Yesterday the weather was a little gloomy and cold, but it shined like a Sunday this morning.
I've about two weeks before the break is over, but by today I've already felt that it's-time-to-go-back feeling. Weird, don't I love all these things that I've always wanted? I do, but life's been empty and less thrilling. I've been doing chores and routines around the house and my mind is hungry for new things to learn. Well, grandma has been lecturing me on quite a number of things about being a homemaker and home life, but being a modern child who sighs at every call for duty around the house; I always have this thirst for something more exciting.
I'm expecting to see some high school friends at a friend's sister's wedding that my mother and I will be attending tomorrow. Weddings are so fun to go to! I used to dread it as a child, merely because I have to dress up and follow my mother along in the sea of noisy women but nowadays I love the festivity of it, especially the ones that are held close to tradition. I'm usually a quiet person around strangers, so I don't really care about all the loud chattering from the seniors anymore because sometimes these people can crack me up with their funny slangs and choice of words. I often hear new words that are pretty strange to me. Haha. I guess I'm this new generation who is supposed to keep the tradition and language alive. I'm actually beginning to appreciate my mother tongue more than I ever did, and that's all because it's easier to understand and express myself. I love this homey feeling.. and I'm going to treasure it no matter where I am in this world.
Since I got the whole day to myself yesterday, I digged out my high school yearbook and I was mesmerized for a moment while I was flipping through everyone's photos. I wasn't popular, I wasn't the loudest kid in school, but I was there and I almost knew everyone even though I've only been keeping in touch with some recently. Every face that I see in there brings the memories alive from the back of my head. I always remember whatever I've been through, and how I wish my friends know how much I treasure all those memories. Soemtimes it feels like it's going one-way, like I'm the only freak that remembers and misses everything. It's fine for me I guess.. haha. Thanks to the internet, I've been able to reach some people who have coloured my life. My Friendster account is ever growing with friends from the past. Haha.
Some friends are married, some have finally found a goal in life, some moved on with an ordinary life, some are flip-flopping; but whatever it is I bet in years to come if we all ever meet each other again I don't think we're going to regret anything be it right or wrong. I wish all my friends best of luck in their future undertakings.
Oh I hear the victorious sound of life so well!
