Cathy Vasquez, a college classmate, a friend, a confidante. I can’t remember the last time we saw each other. However, we try our very best to update one another, not regularly though. Despite this, every time we talk (or chat) it’s like yesteryears. Nothing has changed.
CV reminds me of a lot of things most especially during college days. In times that I was lazy (tamad) she used to be my human alarm clock. *haha* She pages me endlessly to remind me of things to do, wake me up and be in school on time. There were times I was so damn sluggish, I couldn’t get out of bed then, our intercom will ring and she’s on the line! Oftentimes, she waits for me in our dorm terrace to personally fetch me so we can go to school together. She will do anything and everything just to bring me to school. *hehe* I'm so thankful to have her as a good friend.
By the way, I used to stay in a girls dormitory (ICLD) just right across our school. I just have to cross the street and I’m there. *smiles* One of the many reasons why I do not know how to ride public transportations (buses and jeepneys). Because I don’t know their destinations. The signages make me confused and scared as they might drop me on the wrong places and I'd be left there wondering how to go back. (stupid eh?) Haha.
On crazy days that I’d be craving for fishballs, I’d cut classes and she would be mad at me and gives me her tiger look! After a few walks, I’d see her at my back and the next thing I knew we’re enjoying our fishballs together (in the gym). Remember those days, Cathy? *giggles*
Every time I hear SM Southmall, I’d remember her. We used to go to Las Pinas for our school group projects and she lives just at the back of SM. Well, I've almost cursed Las Pinas because we used to take buses to go there and doing so makes my stomach go wild! Ridding buses make me dizzy and worst, puke! I get sick with the smell of their bus fresher. I’m so sensitive with fragrance.
CV has a lot of funny stories about her work. The many attempts of leaving the company, which made her receive a number of promotions! Whoa! She never moved from one company to another. She sticks to only one where she can actually get a loyalty award for doing so. *hihihi* Recently, she resigned and what made her do that? LOVE. She is getting married and will soon to be Mrs. Antony (read: antow-ni). Her fiancé is not a foreigner if that’s what you are thinking. 100% Pinoy.
She is now in Singapore with her fiancé.

Lately, she’s been idle (like me) and that made me introduce her to (my) blog. Years back, I’ve known Cathy to be always in the know in terms of gadgets. --- from pager to cellphones. I don’t know what happened to her after we parted ways as she was totally naïve with techonology now *peace Cathy!* Haha. She happened to read some of my posts and she’s in absolute awe. *nyahahaha* It’s alright Cathy, you now have more free time to be connected again with technology. Just be patient. *wink*
Oh, I miss this girl! I miss our good ol’ days…Remember our shoot in Nayong Pilipino? *haha* I wish to spend even one day with you to reminisce all these crazy days we had. One day, I will visit you in Singapore. I love Singapore…Orchard road, Raffles, Ritz. I have good memories of Singapore.
Good luck on your job hunting and wish you and your soon-to-be hubby all the best! *mwah*

But no regrets as alwys. Only hopes that whatever ive left ther wil be rememberd as an example.
As i read through ur blog, im happy with how u handle and treat life. Especially that instant that you remembrd to prioritize....our work / job is just a means for us to fulfill what we really need to accomplish. The very end will always be constant...that we will go back to Him and hoping too that we are not empty handed. That we try our best to bring Him to others by our example. Well, not to be overly pious but by sanctifying our work. It is not bad to go against the wave if the wave is going the wrong direction. Love you tammy. take care alaways.
One thing I like with technology specifically internet is it gives me a chance to get in touch with people. Now that you are miles away from me, I hope we get to update each other more often now. It's exciting to see you via webcam. *hihihi* Brings back memories! I'm glad to share my thoughts with people close to me. Take care. Love you Cathy! =) *mwah*
