Re: 10 Year Reunion
Just go back and read what I wrote on December 14, 2006. It's a while back, but I didn't "blog" too much between then and now. Ok. So this blog is regarding that.
Apparently that blog of mine has offended and/or insulted quite a few people. I don't know about you (whoever you are) but I am shocked... shocked that anyone (except Irene) is even reading my blog! Ok, but that is not the point of this blog. The point is I have unintentionally offended/insulted quite a few people including Michaela (from myspace) who's dad runs and owns The Swinging Door, the Reunionscoop.com and Class Act folks, and Amalyssa (class rep)... or so it was said I am insulting her. Not sure if she is upset or not.
This morning, I got an email form Jay at Reunion Scoop/Class Act to tell me how offending and insulting my blog is and that I should delete or change it.
Ok, first things first. I am not going to delete or change that blog in any way. What would my own personal blog be if I could not get personal in it? It shows my thoughts, opinions and feelings from that day. And just as we cannot go back and change the past, but instead live and learn in the present, I will not go back and change or delete that blog. Plus, it's kind of cool sometimes to see who and how you were then and now.
However, I can and will apologize for anyone that was offended and/or insulted as that was not my intention. Yes, you can say I "spoke" before thinking, but that is how I blog. I'm sure everyone at one time or another has had a first reaction that they later felt might not have been the best one. Well here's one of mine.
As I have already expressed to all those named above, I am sure the Swinging Door is a great place, with great food. I admit it was not what I had imagined, but then again what do I know about reunions more than what I see in movies? I always thought it was either a semi-formal event or one held at the high school. To the Reunion Scoop/Class Act folks and Amalyssa, I am sure you know what you are doing and do not question your ability to do your job.
Fortunately, Jay from Reunion Scoop/Class Act has already accepted my apology and we are on the same page. Oh and I should say that he did come back to say in so many words that he respects my right to express my opinion on the location, but just did not want me to insult anyone involved.
That being said, I hope I haven't left anyone feeling insulted or offended by that blog. After all, the people involved in the reunion is what makes the reunion, not the location.
I do have more thing to say. I can't help but feel a little bit like Isaiah Washington right now.

Memories
It occurs to me right after I posted '3 years' that MAYBE I should remember her alive instead of remembering how she died. It would probably much more healthy and beneficial for me anyway. Get me out of this gloomy feeling.
Mom was such a girly girl which is so strange because I was such a tomboy! I mean really, she would be so proud of me now that I've become a lady! Anyway, so in my family there was my mom and dad, my two brothers and me. Mom and I, obviously, the only females in the family. We lived with the constant farting, burping or belching should I say and OH! the snoring! Good God! Mom and I were the light sleepers, quiet (usually) sleepers... though I will admit (now remember I'm a tomboy) that if I felt it coming and I was at home... I'd let my farts out too. But you almost never hear Mom fart. Not that she doesn't, but it was rare.
Well one day Mom and I went shopping (oh how she loooooved to shop and now so do I!) and we were rumaging through the clearance rack (of course) and suddenly I start to smell the really, REALLY foul odor! I mean... ew! disgusting! And I looked up at my mom with a face od disgust to see if she smelled it too... except when I looked up and she saw my face she started to giggle (remember how girly she is... I laugh... she giggles) and said (in her filipino accent), "Hurry, let's go the other rack because I oto!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... DAMN! SILENT BUT DEADLY! Aw mom... so cute.
I remember when I told my mom about my frist major crush! hahahaha... Ok first off if you're not filipino and are not aware, when you are a filipina... there's no having crushes! You focus on school and nothing else. No boyfriends allowed. So my mom, she was traditional. So we never had the boy talk... ever! I think I was about 13 or 14 and I kept thinking... how come I can't tell my mom about it? So I figured... well I think I will. So one day I said to Mom, "Mom... when are you gonna talk to me about boys?" LOL!!! oh the look on her face! I think she was more embarassed about it than I was!
Oh.... I remember when my mom first met Junior! hahaha... he spoke to her in tagalog!!! What a playa! He knows how to impress! hahahah... but hey, it worked. She lit up like the sun! hahaah... oh and my dad! Now my dad... typical filipino father who hates every guy for his daughter. Any guy friends that would call me... he NEVER gave me those messages. Girlfriends... he'd give me those messages, but not from the guys.... EVER! UNTIL... Junior! I remember when he gave me that message I was a bit shocked. I mean really... that's a first. And later that day I was driving Mom to work which I often did and loved it to be honest. We got to talk about a lot of stuff... good times. But that day as I was driving she said, "you know Junior called." "Oh yeah, dad told me." "I think your dad likes Junior." Ok there is where I get like a school girl and I was all "REALLY?! How do you know? What did he say?" lol! "Nothing, but when he called after your dad hung up with him he smiled. So I said, 'why are your smiling?' and he said because Junior just called." WOW! That was a great moment. A guy my parents approved of. Big reason why I married him! ;)
My mom used to make my clothes when I was little. I need to find those pics. My mom always had me looking like a doll! I was cute dammit! hahaha.... atleast until I got older! lol!
Well there are a lot of memories to choose from. But I do feel better. I love you, Mom.
