today wasnt just another ordinary day. not that it was extraordinary but just not too ordinary. it was like people from my past, distant and recent, made themselves felt or at least some things made me remind of people from my past (its like something that you read from a horoscope).
sometime this morning, got a phone call from someone saying she's from the office of alumni affairs of claret school (or something to that effect). she was updating the contact details so it would be easier to inform us if there's a homecoming or something like that. she also mentioned that she just called a highschool batchmate of mine, frederick tolentino, who is also in law school. she then asked whether i could give her the contact details of some of my highschool batchmates. unfortunately, the only way i keep in touch with my highschool friends is through yahoo messenger (like ordz/patrick and orland/oj) so that would be no use to her. orland gave me their new landline but he's in japan. so that wont count either. so i really cant refer her to anyone. she also mentioned my previous cellphone number, asking if it was still my number. it was 09195519424. i only used that number for a few months. i remember switching to 09193643380 by april 2000. and by june 06, 2006, i switched to my current globe number.
as the day went by, the focus went from highschool to gradeschool when carmin texted a nice forwarded message (i was in the library studying when i got the message, wow, im studying! just wanted to insert that...intentional digression). classmates from SVS are the only ones i get in touch with recently. ive lost contact with my SSA classmates (although ive received friendster messages from them, the last one was already months ago). actually, carmin is the one left that i have constant contact with, through exchanges of forwarded messages. speaking of forwarded messages, i remember i had textmates. and when i say textmates, i mean, real textmates. people i have never met but only thru text (i still remember some of them, one is jocelyn from zamboanga, teresa who says she's from miriam college, and this girl from OLGM. im not sure if the first two were being honest about their personal info, and i just hope they really were females and not some gay dude (no offense to those who might get offended) but the third one was really from OLGM, a highschool batchmate knows her and i have no idea how we became textmates). i stopped having textmates around 2nd year college. since then, i stopped being a textmate type of guy. i still forward...ummm..forwarded messages from time to time, especially when im doing nothing and a lot of load credits.
from gradeschool, we shift to college. nikki was in UP to do her thesis research. it was nice to see a college blockmate again, and i havent seen my college blockmates for quite some time now. also, mark texted me regarding chris benoit's death. tragic thing happened to the guy. anyway, going back to my college blockmates, it seems that things have changed since we graduated 3 years ago. there are good things as well as bad things. also, those in ateneo law will graduate next year. of course they will say its not a sure thing because, like mark said in his text message, its still a rough road ahead but i really hope all of them makes it and eventually pass the bar. they deserve it, they've worked their asses off just to get to where they are right now.
so there. that's the not so ordinary day. i wonder if im going to meet people from my future. how can that be possible? i dont know. gut feel? usually when i have a gut feel, it happens or its true. i havent had them gut feels for about a year now.
