Flatliners, revived.

Hmmmmm.... There's no greater feeling when you are able to revive a friendship you thought was lost.

With my worsening memory, I don't seem to remember anything significant happening last friday.... let me see... hmmm... Oh, yes! I was surprised to receive a text message from my sister (she rarely texts, so imagine my surprise!). She gladly announces to me the good news -- the gang has arrived! Well, you see, I texted my bro the night before. I just couldn't contain the itch of not knowing the real deal with Sara and her diabetes. So I took the plunge and texted him. To my great relief, he tells me that her complications are reversible, with proper diet and regular exercise. I was excited to tell my sister and mom all about it, but thought otherwise as I remembered my sis advising me to stay out of it. Anyway, Sara and her sisters have come home to visit us, probably to assure us that all is well. I guess that is very gracious of my bro. One less problem my parents have to deal with.

I was even more surprised when my sister texted me a second time saying that my aunts have arrived, and that the house was full of guests. hahaha.. I could imagine her distress as she hates to be with people, especially strangers nonetheless. I personally don't know how to feel about my aunts coming over. I guess I am thrilled to see them but there is still some sadness that comes with it. Sadness, that my family has stayed isolated from the rest of the clan. Perhaps it is not pride that has kept us apart, maybe it is just how my family upholds our principles? hahaha... I don't know. I'll go deeper into this matter some other time.

Myke had badminton last Friday, and so I had to occupy my time. First, by fighting with him.... well, it seems necessary because afterall he made me wait for so long. Second, by trying to make peace with Anj. Anj, she was the friend I wrote about in my previous blogs. To date, she is one of my closest friends. I guess, our fight was just brought about by bad circumstances. I was in a bad mood, while she was in the foulest mood ever. I'm just so happy that we were able to patch things up. I would really hate to lose any more of my friends, as they seem to be a dying species.

The only highlight for the day -- I beat Myke in a game of badminton, scoring two (best out of three). We scored 15-9 during the first match, and again a score of 15-9 for the re-match. I was so inspired that I have begun making my own silly compositions.... "Pulpol, Pulpol, Pulpol and M**R***T*, Pulpol (8x). Hahaha... What's so satisfying about my win is -- I haven't played for so long while he plays twice a week, and I haven't got a title to defend while he is his company's doubles champion! Ha!

Hmmm... It rained all day. It felt good to be able to sleep endlessly. Myke and I took Lola to the dressmaker. She had so many dresses made yet still she seemed not to have anything to wear to my cousin's wedding... Myke and I fought... because he wouldn't let me have cake!!!

I was surprised .... well aghast at first, hearing Liza's first words on the phone. I didn't know what the hell was happening but whoever was on the other end of the line, she was hysterical. Hahahaha, it was just Liza. My confused friend. She wrote me a letter earlier this morning telling me the good news. She has finally found herself a suitable boyfriend. My reaction: I couldn't thank enough all the saints in heaven! Anyway, back to her phone call... she was so kiliiiig in telling me that her long lost crush is back from NJ and that we had to see him. Talk about just having made a new commitment just last Saturday huh? Anyway, she practically threatened me to call "H" and talk him into seeing us. Well, I did but apparently he was too busy and had to arrange some things before he leaves the next day. I guess Liza was crushed. I bet she so wanted "H" to see how she has changed. But I guess it is all for the best!

Later that day, Liz invited me to meet her new BF. He was a great guy, I think. Kinda quiet, aren't they all at first. But I think he has all the potentials of being a good partner for Liza. I wish them all the luck!

So you see? Three people flatlined on me last week... my fight with Anj, the situation with Liz, and the issue with Sara. But I am so blessed... that somehow... we, God and I, were able to revive and restore all that was lost and more.
