fly with mhe

At last, at long last. I had a jamming session with 2 of the Cugman Boiz last Saturday night and 4 of them yesterday afternoon. I so missed being with them, much more, doing our common interest, MUSIC. It started off as a practice for our songs yesterday. Macky in his usual instrument, the drums, Ryjy on the guitar and doing the vocals and since Breaker was not around so I did the bass guitar while singing. During our break, we had a role reversal. Usually, it’ll only be Macky and Ryjy swapping roles, but this time, I was part of that swap. I had the guitar, Macky had the bass and Ryjy on the drums for this particular song only. I only did strums, one strum at a time though. Hehe.. I enjoyed it immensely. Then we had our run off.

Yesterday was different though, Breaker was there. He had the guitar, I had the bass and Ryjy had the drums, Macky was on the microphone with another Cugman Boiz who frequently came also for our practices.

I sorely missed jamming with them. I miss them. I’m glad also that they had patience in teaching me to do the bass. Yesterday, while Breaker was strumming, he would shout the chords so I would hit the right string and fret. They are that patient with me. Hats off to them.

What’s my destressor this time? Blog hopping and sound trip while customizing my newly registered multiply account. I went to bed after submitting my assignment online but slept only for a few minutes. My sister woke me up for a question and couldn’t put  myself back to sleep again. Though my eyes are still heavy but my mind is so active now. Don’t want to read a book, any book in that. Wanted to watch a feel-good movie, maybe Drumline or any war movies or any one of my favorite movies. But couldn’t find one I wanted so much to watch. So here I am in the cyber world again. Maybe later I’d be in the mood to watch a movie if I still couldn’t get myself to sleep. Hahayz.. It’ll be our last day tomorrow, I’m glad, I’m so glad.

And yeah.. A bowlful or a pint of rocky road ice cream of either Selecta or Magnolia would be yummy right now. Hehe..

Ever got amused what a person could do and want to have to relieve stress or destress themselves? In class, when we can have the time, we’d go online, browse the cyberworld. Or listen to music from our music players. Sometimes I would play Sudoku or read a hand-out. Or just slump in my sit, observe my classmates and not really pay attention to the presentors, except with our professor. As if making her aware that I’m really into her class. Our subject concerns early childhood. Not my area ayt. Can’t relate so much to the topics but I’m learning. There are some also that she pointed out which I could also use with the youths.

Rocky road ice cream puhlezz..

I terribly miss the Cugman boiz. Forgive me for rambling about them in this blog, again. They had been a source of joy so maybe more entries may be posted about them, bear with me. Anyway..  It has been weeks that I haven’t talked to majority of them. Though we sometimes see each other in their place but there’s just not much time to talk anymore. Either they are busy with their studies or I am busy with my work and master’s program. Huhu.. I miss them so much. I miss our lakwatsas, I miss our music jamming, I miss our teasings, I miss going to adventures with them, I miss their loud laughs, I miss eating with them, like we used to do. There’s the text messaging anyway, but nothing beats spending time with them. Right now, I’m glad they are fine and doing well with their studies, except for one, and in their life as well, except for two. Though  admittedly, I can’t always be there for them, but as much as possible I’d like to be there to give them support. At least in my own little way, I gave them a smile and a light heart.

.. indeed is my door to the year.

How was your 1st month of the year? Is it fair or good? So good that you don’t want to part with January and move on to the next month? That’s not what I felt for sure. Though January had been so good to me. It gave me more students, challenging though but a continual learning experience and appreciation for my life and the work He has tasked me. The month’s event also teaches me to trust Him and the people He sent to accomplish the task He gave me. To appreciate the people in my life whom I hold dear and not worry too much for them as they are always taken care of. Though it was only on new year’s vacation days and some days when the flood hit our city that I had the time to stay at home the whole day. The rest, it is either at work, listening to lectures on my master’s program or at church and its activities. However busy and filled those days may be, those were the stepping stones to where and what I have gained today. But despite that, He also gave me time to sit around, smile at things that transpired in the day, blog about it, sing my heart out, strum a little, enjoy the company of my friends, teach someone, exchange meaningful smiles and text messages, etc.

Keeping the smile on to February.

My things are still unpacked since I arrived this morning. Still too tired to move around, go about my things, put it back to their places in my dress drawer. My mind is still set on vacationing. Still wants some rest, I want to go back to Club Fortmed, take a dip at their cute pool, mingle with the people, enjoy the scenery and their delicious food, and bask in the beauty of the place. Hahaiz.. I’m still on vacation mode. Work is this Monday, so soon. When will I start to feel like going back to work already?

The conference I attended was so nice. Getting reunited again with old friends who knew the burden of having responsibilities in our areas and field. Receiving their hugs warmth my heart and refreshes me. At least this time, its a different crowd from where I am right now. A different perspective and a different experience. Though the conference was short, I’m so blessed to have participated. It gave me more time to mingle with old and few new friends. Though there were less talks, its message was also catchy and nice.

Most of all, the conference gave me an opportunity to catch up with my friends life. We may exchange text messages at times, but nothing really beats the time spent talking with them in person, sharing in their glory and burden. Glad I have friends like them, though we may be miles apart.
