Sleepy at 11:45p.m.

This may not come as a surprise as it really is an unholy hour, and people are supposed to be lying in their beds already and preparing for a journey to dreamland (or is already journeying that land). But then this does not apply to people like me - people who work at call centers and given an unholy shift (read: 10p.m. -6a.m.). We've been on this shift for 2 and 1/2 weeks now but my system has not adjusted to it yet...at least not this day. I've been out to attend the wake of the father of my friend. Thus, sleep was scant for this day.

But even so, the day is not a sorry one. I finally got to meet up with my high school barkada - I haven't seen them for half a year now! It's just a sad thing that we have to reunite because of the death of a father. =( Anyways, given the sad, sad situation, we were still our usual maingay selves. We were still happily and excitedly (!) talking about our "non-existent" love lives (we are still on a running bet as to whom among us is going to get hooked up first - imagine...all 21 and single SINCE BIRTH --- except for lovely Kistna...but she's single now). And we were still our usual giddy selves - even me...who's clamoring for sleep! sleep! sleep! But when I was with them, I just forgot about my sleepiness! It was just so nice to be reunited with them. They are really one (err, five?) of the truest friends I have. It's like when I'm with them, it feels so right. It feels home. Err...love life? Hahaha!!! But really, whenever I talk to them (doesn't matter who...this sweeps them 5) I feel at ease. And I just can't wait for our next get-together (possibly 40 days after the death of my friend's father). Yey!

But one thing I noted about today's gathering is that we have all grown up (dapat lang, 'di ba? Hehehe!). Instead of blabbering about schoolwork stuff and complaining about assignments and deadlines, we are now chatting about WORK. And there is a certain maturity about us now. Yes, still giddy and giggly...but the content of our words are now wrapped with knowledge that comes with age. Hahaha...I sound like we're now all in our 50's! But anyways, you get my point (or do you? Hehe!).

Anyway...have to end this entry now. We have a guy from Microsoft coming in to give us some pep talk. Hope it wakes me up!
