Oh dear

I used to think being 25 is old.

I still do. :(

When remember thinking how old the college students were when I was in highschool. They were much taller, they have fuller bodies (if you know what I mean), and they seem to carry themselves very well. Plus, nakaka-gimik na sila madalas sa mall.
Come college, I used to think the students who already graduated are old. My 20s seemed far away, as I was surrounded by teengers like me, getting invites to debut parties, and hearing yuppies say, "Sorry I can't go, I have to work."
When I did graduate, I was "stuck" at 21. I was already 23 then, when I even have to think how old I was, because I was used to telling anyone who asked na "21 na ako". Ngayong 25 na ko, I do feel old. Konti na lang wala na ko sa kalendaryo. Eww :( Yeah, alam kong OA, pero that's how I feel. For some reason, I feel like I have to do something significant soon or else, I'm wasting my youth. Hay. Anyways...

My friends from the office sent me several greetings, with matching pictures pa. From my COBOLmates:

("Everyone else" refers to my 5 male batchmates. And yes, malakas sila kumain ^^)

From my AM Family: (the comment that made my day: "Ang pogi ng lalake mo jan ah.. stateside.. hehehe.. kamukha ni JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.. wahahhahaha")

From the project: (feeling manginginom :P)

Super salamat sa lahat ng bumati. Na-appreciate ko ang pag-alala nyo sa aking kaarawan. Ang sarap talaga ng maraming kaibigan ^______^

Books!!!!!!!!

I finally organized my books last weekend. I classified them into 2: the "happy books" and "others". "Others" are mostly the romance novels and mystery stuff that I could do without. My "happy books", on the other hand, are the books I would definitely take with me should I move elsewhere. Here's the bulk of my happy books:

I still have the Pure Dead, Oz, and HP series to complete. (Yes, I still don't have HP7 :P) I'm also looking for Burnett's other books. Well, at least I have a boxed set of Narnia books ^__^

Here are my *favorite* books:

I still have a looooooot of Roald Dahl books to buy. Just looking at this page gives me bookgasm: DAHL
Damn... those signed copies are so expensive. Hay :(
