LONGING FOR HOME

NOWADAYS, my heart is somewhere in Inang Bayan and my mind is already working non-stop.... I am now working on my schedule which is quite hectic, considering the line-up: from Lance's Baptism Ceremony/Party to that out-of-MManila trip to Dakak, The Farm [awaiting confirmation...yet!], to the Pansol Hot Spring Party with dear friends, the Massage at Westin, and that scheduled "Regalo" for some people who need a little somethin for Christmas.... and more.... * THE calls seem non-stop.... The sked must be confirmed if we want a coordinated endeavour. ** FOR me, ......................> leisure day along the beach with Hiroko,Maki or Jay....and Von, Lance and Indi; ......>>or a hot dip in Pansol for the aching limbs of Marcia, Flor and Jovy.... amidst reminiscing the days gone past.... .............>>> strolling along the small shops of AA, sipping coffee in one of its terraces... ......>>>> shopping at the fruit shops in Alabang Market.... ......>>>>> just enjoying the afternoon lull as Josie, the manicurist, makes her usual trips to my place; .....>>>>>>or just tinkering with my garden, which, I'm sure needed that much-awaited re-do by the Garcia Gradens... .is enough to satiate my taste. OF COURSE, I'd like to go to Pat's place in Mabalacat [is it?] and see his place. He has been inviting me and the rest of the gang for as long as I remember... I'm particularly interested in that carved sala set which he says are lots cheaper there than in MM.... and perhaps, BAGUIO, if time permits. Oh, I love Baguio, despite reports that the city do not smell of Pines, anymore.... I love to shop in its winding, ethnic stores along the hills in Mines'View or the shops inside its Public Market:.....makes me feel free to move in Baguio than in MM. *** I need to ask Mang Ciano, the carpenter, to remove those two small rooms on the Left wing and convert that place to a small Zen Garden. Got to make a big picture window there, too. **** Whheeww! So many things to do, yet so little time! I just wish I can whisked them all up during the time I'm there..... or else... bitin na nmn... ***** COMING HOME. HAPPY FACES. GIVING LOVE. HAPPY HEART. ********
