Ang sarap bumalik sa bahay after a long vacation. Kinikilig ako habang nakaupo sa office chair ko, nagsusulat, tapos mamaya magbabasa ako, magpapakain ng pusa, then magluluto.

I can’t wait to go back to my nice little routine. But let’s rewind a tiny bit…

I spent 9 straight days with some of my closest friends during this recent California trip, and it was absolutely divine. It was as if we’re college kids again—hanging out everyday, drinking almost every night, and chatting endlessly about the past and the future. It was such a treat! Sobrang na-miss ko sila! And the sad part is, sobrang mami-miss ko rin sila now that it’s over. I was actually feeling nostalgic kahit magkakasama pa kami. The thought of, “I’m going to miss this.” kept popping at the back of my mind while currently hanging out with them. But I try to pull myself back and just enjoy the moment. It’s also probably because there’s a part of me that couldn’t fully believe we were all really together and spending this much time with each other once again—and I think some of us felt the same way too, because Benson would randomly blurt out, “Wow! Dito na talaga tayo sa US nagkita-kita!”
