Driving down to the same destination has become a joyous routine. Living in San Francisco has really become a common ground to just relax. It's my way of getting away. I could sit in my room and find sanctuary there. Watching television, especially Giant's baseball, does keep me company, but practicing my banduria is so much better. Practicing everyday at something does make a huge difference. I love it. I do feel bad for Major and Steven because they aren't able to move on with the music. That's the importance of making every practice, so everyone is keeping up to the speed of everyone else. They actually told me I was ahead of the teaching schedule. Yay! I know Pandanggo Sa Ilaw! Yethhhhhsss.
While in the hot summer heat, the boys and I decided to go eat at Cluck U's yesterday. But first, my assistance is needed once again in my somewhat art in Philippine cultural dance. The other day Donnell and Allen call me while I was having a Cinnabon lunch dessert with Ale (Super Yum). Usually I enjoy the fact that friends would call to ask me to hangout, unfortunately I was pushed into the call that asks for something. But of course, my acceptance for the request is reassured because helping out is me. Teaching and choreographing brings out the best in me. The ability to see your own creation is a thrill and achievement. Try it.
As for dinner with the boys, the six of us got either the mild or traditional style dozen wings, which was delicious and not so hot. Sitting next to the window has its disappointments though. While chewing, my eyes focus on some high school senior/incoming freshmen type kids drinking and spewing water against a wall outside. The gross part was that they had no shame. Yeah they were outside and away from other customers, but there's no need to over react. We all know the wings are hot, no need to get too hysterical over it. Take it like a man!

The more time spent with individuals opens up my friendship to them. The hardest part about my handful of privileged friends is that...no, this type of topic is a more one-to-one verbal expression. But I will say this, thank you for listening. Even though I constantly talk about my heartaches, my headaches, and my personal issues, sometimes it's good that there's someone to listen and express their opinion openly with me.
There's always a time in someone's life when they just want it all to end and start anew.
A particular cliche came up while conversating with T-Bubs last night. There's the line that says, "...and I enjoy long walks on the beach." I immediately debated with that issue. Well, I just mentioned that if the sun was going down, why would you be walking on the beach still. I'd rather lay a beach towel down, sit back and wrap my arms around you, and watch the sun slowly distinguish into the ocean. Wishful thinking, but perhaps. With that, I head to bed.
