To Soups, Songs, and Sean

Last night, after a week of partying and boozing, I finally decided to slow down and invite friends who I haven't seen for a long time. Had dinner in Resto Pino along Maginhawa, UP Village (really good too!!!!) and have coffee at my friend's cafe, Consequia -- Conse for short -- along Mayon. Haven't laughed so hard over nothing for such a long time! Ninin and Jerry sure are a great cure for bummed-outness.

So we go home a little after midnight, and I was looking forward to a good night's rest after a week of barely getting any. After maybe an hour from falling asleep, the phone rang. It was a Phil-Malaysian friend of mine who just happened to have nothing to do and decided, for one reason or another, to drop me a line. We met exactly 11 months ago today in Cambodia for a conference. Saw him while he was here and again when he and his Flip friend decided to take a vacation. And for some bizarre reason, he likes calling me Ana Banana.

The call was really unexpected, but totally welcomed. Especially when my friends and I were just talking about him earlier that night too. It made a good day end. Made me smile ear to ear when I heard his voice. Kinda miss that crazy guy. Funny thing is, it was his blog that I just posted here.

So here's to pumpkin soups, to songs, and to a Kuching boy named Sean.

P.S. Thanks nin and jer. It was a blast!
