a few things to show that i’m still alive

i haven’t been writing because nothing’s been happening. on the contrary, so many things have happened and will still happen, that’s why i haven’t been taking the time to post.

i am actually looking at the list of the drafts of would-be blog posts– thoughts waiting to be finished some other time when they are no longer relevant.

we have moved offices– from the 6th to the 10th floor. and the editorial has the best room and the best view in it. half the walls are window and we could see the manila bay from there. the sunset makes a daily appearance in our room and like geeks that we are, we close the door and turn off all the lights just so we could bathe in the day’s fading light. beautiful, beautiful place to work in (if you ignore all the mess).

I got the first painting of Christian Tamondong’s Indistict Pleasures series for my birthday. I’m sure that one day, if ever my children would lose all their money, they’ll be able to sell that painting for a lot of money. Google his name and you’ll know what I mean. it’s a rendering of cat, plus a dedication from the artist from the back.

I’m teaching Sunday School now… for young professionals. They thought that it would be a good way to make me wake up early for Sunday School by making me into a teacher. It worked. Too bad it couldn’t do the same for my students.

i’m deliriously happy. i don’t know why. there is a tiny part of me that’s scared that i’m going to hit the ground real hard when i crash. but for now i’m going to smile at strangers as i walk to the office, dance to eva cassidy’s “somewhere over the rainbow” in the editorial room, laugh like nobody’s going to mind, hug the people who need it. this is stef on happy pills. i overflow with good vibes. i don’t even have a reason to be joyful, i just am!

too bad, happiness doesn’t make a good copy.
