Me and my so-called confidence gets myself under fire. Why? It is with this strong personality that I earn or lose friends. I wouldn't want to elaborate more but if you are reading this, I just wished you would have not discounted the fact that despite the flaws I had, despite how many times you had to follow through my mess ('coz im a scatterbag) I never disrespected you in any way, form or likeness.
Yes! I get it! It is a joke. Friends never taunt another friend because of how they look. I found it too insulting for someone like you who could say "You're taste is getting a bit low" (forgive me! it's not the exact word said on SMS but the meaning is the same). I never knew my appearance was a liability when I thought I was invisble to everyone. I genuinely admit that you are goodlooking and I admire the fact that you are grounded not to flaunt it. Your "joke" only disproved my impression.
It is water under the bridge and like I said, I'll just have to laugh about it but I can clearly see now the wall you have placed between us. I will continue to be a friend but this time I will be more limited in my dealings. Nothing will change except that fact that I will no longer be an open book to you.
THE LONG AND WORTHY JOURNEY TO ISLAND COVE
Previous to this incident was a happy team building activity at Island Cove in Cavite. Everyone except Kits was not able to make it. I do not know the reason but I hope she will make it on the next plan....let me guess.....Mahayhay? It was around 5:30 PM, rush hour of June 6, 2007, when Owen, Zabs, Mariel and myself started our journey to this place I am going with my team. Maricor had to go home to attend to her kid who was having some problems with his tummy (can't find the right way of putting it!) while Mick and Ado will be meeting here somewhere to they could go to the resort together. It took the advance party around 3 hours to get there and boy! it was one of the hardest travel I had to go through. Nevertheless, it was all good. I could never trade the chance of being with my agents for anything else. I so wanted it to happen that I forgot I was suffering along the way hahahaha. We managed to forget about our worries and problems for about 24 hours and instead celebrate the solidarity our team had since October 2006. I admit the money was not enough to make the event grandiose. Who cares anyway when we had ourselves?
The night started with us getting cozy on hotel room we rented. Thanks to Mick and his wife that we were able to spend Php 4,000.00 for accommodation and breakfast (worth Php 2,000.00). I am definitely not a nudist but I am more comfortable without a shirt on. This gives me a sense of liberty that no one except me can enjoy. I guess my agents do not have any choice but to enjoy it hahahaha. Owen's (short for Rowena!) husband decided to join us later in the evening and Myk's (short for Misshelle) decided to join us in Baclaran. I swear I was new to the area since I do not wander a lot on places that is too far from 
the Makati/Mandaluyong area. Once Mick, Ado and Maricor arrived, dinner (adobo and rice) was served in preparation for booze. After diner all of us decided to take a long-delated breather. The pool was very accessible and to make things more fun, we had the pool to ourselves and it looked like a private gathering afterall. Everyone was surprised to see that I could do some breastroke and backstroke even if I was scared of getting to the deeper part of the pool. We took a couple of pictures and dipped more. I admit, some of the team members have issues with big bellies. I dont! Lucky me! Thanks to the strict diet that I enforced a month ago. I never cared if I had rice that night for it was dinner with my team. What more could you
ask
for? Then it was time to settle down.....grab some cigz...took more pictures and the much awaited moment.....BOOOZE! I bet Mickey was not as pleased with the amount of liquor available for we had limited "bread" that night. It was the last supper version of TEAM NEW TOWN. Picture this......9 people spread across a table putting money inside a bowl located in the middle. I thought it was a little depressing to see Ado, Mickey and Maricor disappointed on the amount of drinks available. I was a party animal some 6 years ago but then the picture on the left would clearly describe how sober I am lately. The only problem was I couldn't cut down on my smoking. I was tired and sleepy that a few shots of rum with mango or orange juice got me all groggy and all the more sleepy.
