Counting down to 30...the death watch for my "tumultuous" 20's. Now everyone's gonna expect me to amass a lot of wealth and settle down...and give my parents little grandkids.
Been getting advanced birthday greetings today...including an overseas call from my mom. They seem to be excited to greet me this time. :-) Thank God some cheering up from the islands came.
But strangely enough, i've been busy trying to buy a gift these past few days. Somehow, buying a gift for an ex is much more complicated than for a "current". It should be personal enough but never too explicit to avoid any unforeseen conflict with their own current. Sabi nga ng APO: "mahirap talagang magmahal ng syota ng iba!" So, i had the difficult choice to pick between GGM's Love In The Time of Cholera or a Vanilla Spice gift pack. The scent is exceptionally sexy, but i won't be the one having the first sniff everyday, ain't I? So that was out. So today, I'll have to buy GGM's novel instead with it's most romantic story but a very unromantic title (hihihi) which shrouds the whole thing in seemingly disinteresting content.
Somehow I'm gonna miss buying a special someone something to wear. My ex, Tangkad, was quite surprised that I shopped for my other ex--you know, stuff like clothes, sexy undies, ha ha ha. (Weird ng language ng blog na to a). I guess di ginagawa ng bf nya sa kanya yon. A poor pinoy splurging his gf with expensive stuff from Europe--that's quite something for her siguro no?
But my friend told me never to forget that I am also entitled to splurge a little. Splurging has always been in my mind since i arrived. I sort of have "jacket envy". If penis envy could sometimes become obsessive....i have obsessive "jacket envy" now. I keep seeing these exceptional pea coats worn by the students here. I already have my own 3/4 pea but i like this shorter one too--plus this one can be acceptably worn in the Philippines. Been tempted several times to convert my euros to francs to buy one for myself just into my 2nd week here. But i told myself i should finance it from francs earned. :-)
Oh dang!...it's gonna be my birthday tomorrow. Don't know whether to be happy or what. There's one birthday wish that i'm pretty sure ain't comin' true. :-(
At any rate, feliz cumpleaños a mi! I hope...
