a spiritual weekend

last friday, sept 15, i was still in school that afternoon and calls are already overflowing. some of my gimmick buddies are already searching for people to drag in the hottest gimmikan spots in manila to party. and i mean p-a-r-t-y. i perfectly know what will happen: we are gonna be dancing all night till our bodies drop in exhaustion, or even worse, get drunk till you barf your own pants. and i also know what will happen the next morning: you will wake up later than ever, with a nasty hangover and a stinkin breath. not to mention a badly hurt wallet. haha. so pathetic. i dont know why the hell i love doing it. but last friday i feel like i needed a quiet weekend. so i called my best friend leeann.
leeann never ever lets me down. i've only sent her a text message that i'll be coming to her place to sleepover, and i could almost feel her loving arms stretched wide open, ready to embrace me, and welcome me home. we planned to meet in UP, so we could both commute to her place since she was still in manila. and the moment we saw each other, it was nonstop chika all the way to her place. the traffic that i used to hate and curse and despise became bearable..and thats because i was talking to someone worth-talking to. anyways... i know in my heart i will have a great time with leeann, jc and joyce. but i didnt expect that i would have the greatest weekend of my life(ummm, di naman, basta this was the best i've had in months..). i wont elaborate on this because its kinda private but dang! really really had a great time.. basta, it was a quiet weekend, just the four of us at the house, i've read a good book(the alchemist by paulo coelho), had a couple of nice meals with merienda, nice long talks, nice long arguments and debate with jc, a tranquil foodtripping at the Soul Shop( a christian cafe. u better check it out and get some really nice banana cake, watch some taekwando pratices, watch some children roam around, drink bottomless sweet teas, or simply be there and feel God's presence. plus its near the church so why not drop by God's crib and pray? oh, remember to bring a good friend along for some company. ;-) ) before i went home to manila, i went with leeann and joyce to the church to hear some "sermon"... and as usual, tinamaan kami ng sobra sa mgs sinabi ni pastor. there are lots of sermon that i can really relate to but the most significant one is that he told us if we are living the real christian way? and if we claim that we are, are we doing something about it? hmmm, that really hit me right on the heart alright...
my finals in shool are already coming, and work loads and plates are really piling up. but i guess i'll get through it... i've just ha a strength-reviving weekend... and im not refering to physical strength... its my inside that really enjoyed this weekend... thanks leeann...and God...(",)
