what’s up?

Posted on 28 Aug 2009 - by Katkat In: dear blog

I’ve been out of the blogging loop these past days because so much things have happened. I’m in the middle of my “packing” because I’m returning back to the US at the end of this month. I’ve finally graduated from Dentistry, praise God. Now I’m rushing all the things I needed to get a clearance from my college so I can get my diploma. On top of that I have to renew my driver’s license here, buy stuffs for things abroad, laundry and iron my clothes, etc etc etc.

Then my grandmother got sick and she eventually passed away on wednesday. My parents had to rush back to the Philippines here and so much preparations were needed for the funeral. I had to split my time among school, errands and the wake. The wake would be planned in Manila for 2 days before the remains of my lola transported to Cebu, my father’s province. Which would give me the weekend free for preparing all the things I needed for my trip abroad. They were inviting me to go to Cebu but I defer because I haven’t started packing yet. WAAAAHHH!!!!

The weather didn’t help also. It had been so hot and humid these past days! It would rain in the evening then turn humid come morning. The weather was so nasty that just after taking a bath I would feel sweaty and hot and I want to take a bath again. Yesterday I had to take care of renewal of my driver’s license. The traffic, pollution and the humidity almost turned me into a monster! The sweat was sticking on my body, my face was too oily I feared for breakouts and the traffic was so bad that I just thank God I would only renew my license every 3 years!

Because of the wake, my despedida plans with my family had been pushed to the lowest priority. I originally planned to have it at Makansutra Asian Food Village at Quirino with my brother and his wife, my sister, my aunt from australia and my other aunt. Then my parents and sister came home from abroad and I thought they would be able to join the despedida dinner but they’re all going to Cebu for the wake. So the venue will stick but the people present would just be me, my sister, my brother and his wife. I wished I could have one more despedida with my college friends, who weren’t able to attend the night we went to the club, but I don’t think I can squeezed in a free time because I haven’t packed yet. I won’t be able to spend some last moments with a lot of people before I go *sniff sniff*

Oh good news too! My blog will be turning 1 come sept 3. I can’t believe I actually made it this far. Thanks for all the readers and for all the experiences in my life. I’ll hope for more blogging because my life ain’t over yet!
