The Surprise Dinner

I wanted to go home so bad yesterday that not even the heavy rain can stop me. The only thing that could delay me was...never mind. I met with Dela at around 5pm. And we waited for about 1 1/2 hours for Harvey and Gizelle.

The guys were planning to give us free dinner which surprised me and Gizelle. Harvey even led the prayer where he asked God to help him make us (Gizelle and I) happy. We weren't even that depressed! There were so much laughter and happiness, just like the old times. Ken dropped by just as the man was setting up the karaoke box. Would we (Dela, Harvey, and I) pass up the chance to grab the microphone and embarrass ourselves in front of the whole Muntinlupa? No. We sang three songs in total; Gizelle didn't sing. :(

The three guys planned to do their DotA thingy AFTER they take us to the jeepney terminal, but we met Errol on the way. Guess what happened. They were too excited to do their thing that they forgot to take us to the terminal. Oh, well.

Still...

Thank you, God, for giving me such sweet friends.

Sadness

Yes, I am sad.

I met with some friends last Monday and we had dinner together. Schoolwork isn't eating me up so I get plenty of sleep. I met with a lot of friends last Wednesday and we had dinner together, plus a McDo food trip.

Still, I am sad.

I miss home. No, not the comforts of home like I used to say before. Just home. Okay, and the comforts of home.

It pains me each Monday I have to leave for QC. I hate having to pack and thinking, "It's going to be another week." I want to stay home as long as possible and leave as late as possible. I remember Dad texting me last week on my way back to the boarding house:

Dad: Kumain ka na? Saan ka kumain?
Me: Oo, sa Kenny [Roger's Roasters].
Dad: Nanunuod ako ng Darna.

I laughed. He was not only asking me how I was; he wants to have a little chitchat. I wanted to tell him, "
Ba't ka text ng text? Miss mo na 'ko, 'no?", but I don't have enough load. Haha.

I have been deprived of freedom incapable of accessing my emails (in both Gmail and Yahoomail) and my Facebook account for three days now. The WiFi here in our library does not permit my social networking sites. I can only log into Multiply (Thank you, Multiply, for enabling cross-posting to Blogger). And tumblr. I was forced to create a tumblr account just so I can have another business aside from Multiply. Still, I miss my restaurant and my farm. T__________________T

Going back to my sadness, I tried talking it out with a friend. He said, "
Aww, homesick siya. Uwi na tayo bukas." I can't wait for tomorrow.
