High school reunion

A schoolmate has organized another reunion for our batch in high school. She even reminded me about it when she greeted me on my birthday.  The first meet-up occurred last year, but only a handful of our batch mates showed up. I wish to join them this time. But I can’t commit because of an impending job.

The reason why I’m not fond of attending reunions is that I’m not confident to meet with former classmates now.  If only I can take a diet pill that works overnight, I might have the confidence to meet them again.  After all, 23 years is such a long time. We have a lot things to talk about including our family or current job.  I’m sure the popular topic for discussions will center on being a mom and raising kids.  🙂

Birthday lunch

I don’t cook anything special on my birthday. I just prepare fried chicken for lunch as it was requested by my kids. And with hubby’s prodding he bought an ice cream and soda for our dessert. I should have cooked something special like beef calderetta, but hubby said it may take hours to prepare. So I end up marinating five pieces of Chicken thighs with calamansi juice, fish sauce, pepper and food seasoning. The kids thought I ordered it from Max’s. Ok, I fabricate that part. LOL. After a sumptuous lunch, I recall top diet pills that I read somewhere because I felt guilty after consuming more than a cup of rice (or was it two cups). More rice intake means additional fat on the belly. It’s difficult to trim down that part unless I exercise.

Getting old

I’m looking for materials on ageing because a lady friend has requested for it. She is turning a year older on Friday and she wants to write a blog post about getting old and what to expect when the person is on that stage already. Well, my friend is not really that old to look at except for some obvious signs such as streaks of grey hair and fine lines. Sometimes she admits she looks and feels like it (old age), but she claims she will always be young at heart and mind.

Adding years to her age doesn’t mean she is forgetful although at times I reprimand her for missing an important file. I always tell her to have an online backup of all her files because nobody knows when her laptop will lock up or crashes.

Anyway, since it’s her special day on Friday I requested her to rest or maybe have time for herself. She can’t commit because she said she might be busy with some new job.

She wants me to tell her online friends whom she has not seen or visited for a long time that she is missing them. She became super duper busy when opportunities started coming in. Don’t tell her that I told you but she is a poor time manager.  She can’t balance her time for herself, family and friends. Now many of her new found friends don’t visit her as much. I can’t blame them. She lost touch with them. I just hope they understand her.

This is getting lengthy already. All I want to say is that I hope this lady will have more time for other things except blogging. Get a life girl! And happy birthday in advance! Love you! 🙂
