I'd like to Thank My Major Sponsor...

I’m still feeling exhausted from my Iloilo trip yesterday. I had to fetch my son from Pisay,and play the ulirang ina role for him, so off I went there. I took the 1:10 pm ferry, arrived there at 2:20, whizzed in a taxi to Pisay, talked to his teacher for 30 minutes, then went back to the port to catch the 4:45 pm ferry to Bacolod. The Youngest and I arrived in Bacolod at 6:00 pm. I took Bonamine before boarding the ferry  so I wouldn’t get dizzy. Unfortunately, this medicine made me a tad too sleepy, so I dozed off a few minutes after dinner.

BFF/UK Sponsor Premz Ning

But before I hied off to dreamland, I was pleasantly surprised to find a package from my dear, dear, high school BFF Edna Agunias-Palanca. She is a nurse in the UK, and she is living with her family there. Premz Ning, as I fondly call her, was one of my closest barkadas in high school. She was what you call a real morena beauty—she had this soft, velvety, dark skin which I envied immensely. She had brownish deep-set eyes. And her nose—she had this perfect straight nose. She had this Indian princess look which most boys of our age admired. We were inseparable in school. Everyday, we walked to Tramo together  with my Cuz Premz for lunch. We played volleyball in a team for four years. We were always group mates in school projects because our surnames both started with A. She was one of those few people I could tell all my secrets to without any fear of being judged. She still is.

Now back to the package. The last time that we saw each other was in December 2009, and she gifted me with two pairs of shoes. One was brown Maryjanes, and the other one was boat shoes for the Daughter. This time, she sent me THREE—2 pairs of sneakers, and a pair of pink Topshop wedges. They were all adorable, and did I mention they were free? (Nakakatakot ha, baka next time, four pairs na!!! Abuso ba?) But really, Ning has always had a generous soul. So, thank you, my dear Premz Ning! Should I say, sa uulitin?(Sigaw ng ibang barkada---Paano naman kami?)

Labyu, my fwend!!!
