2nd Open Letter to JME (no, it's not JM Erni)

Dear JE,

This is all I have to say...be prepared. You will be receiving a text from me soon. I suggest you hide all those stuff you're enjoying. There will be some happy people this Christmas, thanks to you.

Rhia.

It's been a while

I haven't had time to write in my blog lately. Been busy. Went to a week-long conference October 20-26, flew to Surigao to attend Mon's wedding on the 27th, rode a ferry, come hell or high water (literally) to Siargao on the 28th, then spent the whole day of the 29th in a bangka with She and Myra to check out the Sohotan caves and lagoon of Siargao (the only stupendous, great and unbelievable thing in Siargao), then went back to the city on the 30th. Went back to Manila the next day, only to spend the night at a friend's place to spend some quality time with a balikbayan friend. When i finally got back home the next day, I made arrangements to go home to Marinduque to visit my beautiful grandmother that same night. Arrived in 'duque on the 2nd, then left in the morning of the 3rd. Whew!!!

When i finally got back to work on the 5th, I just spent the half day checking out the tons and tons of email.

Today, I went to watch a friend play football in the Ayala Alabang Village fields, while having a picnic with a long time friend who i haven't seen in years. When I brought her home that afternoon, it was such a great feeling to go back more than a decade ago and just hung out, watching movies, chatting, catching up and most importantly, pigging out.

Second half of November and first half of December will undoubtedly be a hell month as well. Juggling a case, work, Mandarin lessons, and events...

Oh well. at least there won't be a boring moment.
