Answer: As much as it takes. Come October, we loose another member of the gang for greener pastures abroad. Saying goodbye is never easy, but saying it multiple times doesn't make it any easier.
I've lost count how many Despedida Parties Tracy has had, but I don't really mind. It gives us more excuse to spend more time together as a group before our final farewell.
I usually don't post something as cheesy as lyrics on my blog. But this time, I can't avoid it. I've been listening to this song too much and it's made me sentimental. And besides, I believe that it's very apt.
Awit Ng Barkada
Nakasimangot ka na lang palagi Parang ikaw lang ang nagmamay-ari Ng lahat ng sama ng loob Pagmumukha mo ay hindi maipinta Nakalimutan mo na bang tumawa Eh, sumasayad na ang nguso mo sa lupa
Kahit sino pa man ang may kagagawan Ng iyong pagkabigo Ay isipin na lang na ang buhay Kung minsan ay nagbibiro Nandirito kami, ang barkada mong tunay Aawit sa iyo Sa lungkot at ligaya, hirap at ginhawa Kami'y kasama mo O ikaw naman
Kung sa pag-ibig may pinagawayan Kung salapi ay huwag nang pag-usapan Tayo'y 'di nagbibilangan Kung ang problema mo'y magkatambakan ang mga utang 'dio na mabayaran Lahat ng bagay ay nadadaan sa usapan
It's a well known fact that I am being personally pissed on by Apple Computers, Inc. As soon as I bite into their new products, a few weeks later, a brand spanking new one comes out. Case in point, when I first bought an iPod. I was the first one from Nior C to get one of these musical gizmos. I was so proud to be the first kid on the block to have this new toy. I admit I enjoyed the gawks and gaping mouths from my peers when I first whipped it out of my pocket. Hell, I expected them to do so, I spent 33 thousand pesoses on this motherf**ker!
But alas, those conspirators at Apple decided to put my arrogant ass in its place. Literally a week later, the next generation iPod came out with better controls, better battery life and, adding more insult to injury, a goddamn cheaper price tag. The following week, everyone and their grandmother's second cousin twice removed has an iPod.
And now, history repeats itself. But this time around, it concerns Apple's other fine product, the Mac. This time around, I wasn't the first kid on the block to get a Mac (For the record, it was JC). I thought I would've been spared. But no, someone in Cupertino must really likes to yank my chains (I'm looking your way, Stevie J). No sooner as I get my 20" iMac Core Duo, they go and make a bigger one. A 24-inch beast with Intel's newer, faster Core 2 Duo chips. And, like my iPod experience, now everyone seems to be buying Macs. Mai is a proud new owner of a MacBook. Berns is looking to buy one. Even Arian has a bloody MacBook Pro! [sigh] But like all the other Macheads out there, I can't complain. We're a bunch of masochists, the lot of us.
I shall just leave this as a warning for potential switchers. Make sure to buy a new Apple product when it's launched. Lest ye suffer like I have suffered. But seriously, I welcome my new Mac converts! Praise be to Jobs and spread the good word of OSX! Huzzah!
Say it ain't so... Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin is Dead
It's not a sick joke. I wish it was. By the time you read this you'd probably have read or seen the news. Our favorite Australian animal lover (at least my favorite) has died while filming a marine documentary.
