chance

I had the surprise of my life when I received a friendster invite from a guy I used to know. His name sounded familiar but I couldn't for the life of me remember where or how I met him until I browsed thru his friendster profile. I couldn't believe it. I met him when I was having my OJT in one of the TV networks here in manila. And that was like, eons ago! It's really amazing what friendster can do! This morning when I checked my emails, I found out that he sent me a message. I was stunned when he said he still kept those letters I sent him way back when. He is now based in california. Imagine my astonishment when he mentioned that he told his mom to send him all my old letters to him in the US! What kind of guy would do that?! I mean, why would he still keep all those letters all these years!! Wow! I couldn't even remember what I have been writing him then. So that's how he found me! He searched me thru friendster. Is this kismet or what?! Anyhow, I think it's great that he still tries to stay in touch with all those people that he met in life, no matter how fleeting they may be. He's one great guy-- very sweet and likeable. I remember I instantly liked him when I first met him. He's one of those rare people where you can just be yourself around him, no pretensions.

discovery

I stumbled upon this little boutique tucked somewhere in legaspi village that sells vintage and indie clothes and accessories. I found this amazing shimmery top that I liked so much. But I was dismayed when I checked the price : it was P3,000+. I could've used my credit card right then and there but the thing was, they only accept cash. Darn! Most of their items are a bit expensive since they source out their clothes all over europe-- in fact, some items they carry are designer labels from past collections. I love the top so much that I've been dreaming about it for the past 3 days. I have been trying to restrain myself from shopping the past few weeks since I don't wanna max out my credit card. I would like to drop by to that boutique again once I have moolah to spare.
