Mama Jopen's leaving for Australia again...This time, the only chance I'll get to see her is to visit her blog (which is of course, linked from this site...). The gang spent the night at Prince 2, our favorite overnight hang-out, interrogating Patty about her newly acquired "in a relationship" status, Jopen on her "almost drained counter", and each other on the status of our [hybernating/non-existent/zero] lovelife. We booed and laughed at the housemates of Pinoy Big Brother and watched a DVD of F4 (the beginning, but not necessarily the end, of this all...).
I woke up at 5, took a shower, had coffee. From our window, I watched the sleeping city being bathed in sunlight. Ahh, a good day. I wished I could linger more in bed (well, technically, even the floor becomes a bed when one sleeps on it) and enjoy breakfast with my friends who are on "scheduled/advanced" sick leave (Read Bambi: Advanced get well soon!). But I have work today. With my frequent choir practice, I'd be thick-skinned if I took a leave of absence today.
I said goodbye to Mama Jopen - in writing. She was sleeping so soundly that I feared for my life should I wake her up (hahaha!) No amount of pan-banging and kettle-blowing could wake these people up. I know from past experience that they slept at around 3 in the morning (sapilitan pa!).
I thought my day would be bright, but we have yet to say goodbye to another person. Our colleague, Miss Digna, said her goodbye after a heart surgery. It was as much a shock to me as to all who knew her. Just a few weeks ago, we were teasing her for her new wardrobe, her colorful skirts, new accessories, new hairstyle. She was young and funny (despite being a boss) and always there. That was just it. She was always there. People teased her that she already has a property number because she's always there, sitting on her table, working...eating...and working.
Incidentally, today is also my dad's birthday...I feel guilty that I spent the eve giving a despedida...and planning to go to Miss Digna's wake (which is also a sort of despedida, too). But my dad wants me to come home...understandable...eh birthday nya nga eh!
But the gloom of goodbye sometimes eclipses the sunshine of new beginnings. Maybe tonight, the heaviness will lift and dad's birthday candles will lend a light to my gloomy day.
