get back (to where you once belonged)

flight to denver leaves tonight. after an unfortunate stop over in SFO (i'm over that airport, but it's better than LAX), i will officially be in the state i called home for 5 years. i wouldn't put it past fate for me to call it home again in a few years. but before all that, i will be in a variety of climates before i can settle down again.

two nights of stuffing myself silly and possibly gambling away a few dollars with the crew. two nights of enjoying lovely 40 degree weather. two nights of finally having a use for my jackets and sweaters. two nights of eating food that, in amount seems like a lot, but in actual caloric comparison to HI food, is much healthier. videos to share. stories to tell. good times all around. i feel like having a blue moon with the boys. how about either boto maki or puraw wave buy a 12 pack of the belgian white ale and bring it over, for which i will compensate upon your arrival...

upon my return from denver, i will be in HI for 5 days, then off to manila to deliver my application. with the nmat score pending and all my paperwork squared away, i have only to entrust my fate to the powers that be and pray that my accomplishments thus far have not been in vain. i believe this path is right. i believe this path is the one that must be taken. to escape the misery and mediocrity in which i am sinking, i must reach for this opportunity with both my hands and grasp success.

november has been, is, and will be the busiest month of this year. december will be slightly more lax than that. x-mas party with the (hopefully soon-to-be former) coworkers, x-mas party with the escrima classmates, and my doctor aunty from PI will be paying us a visit just in time for x-mas. it's a good amount of rest, because i'm sure next year will be more than hectic. as busy and overwhelming next year will be, i am eager and ready for it.
