How have you been? I hope your health is better than when we last talked. That was ages ago and I've lost our only point of contact: Friendster.
You and Annie and I had grown up together and even have younger siblings of similar ages. LIDE seems like such a long time ago, doesn't it? After being in the same cohort since prep until sixth grade, we took tests, passed exams and prepared to leave LIDE's comfortable environment and try Pisay. Our ways diverged, though, because you earned well-deserved top scores during the placements.
I've never asked you this, but what went into the decision to go to Pisay-Diliman instead of Pisay-Palo? How did you and your family discuss it? Was it hard on your Mama?
I look back on my own decision to enter Pisay, and it really was entirely my decision. Although I prayed about it, more or less, I went ahead on my own terms. I don't regret the experience, but I see a pattern in how I'd come to many of my decisions as a young person. It is sad to note that there have been times when instead of seeking my parents' counsel, I've gone on and dragged them along. Thank God, He is mercifully guiding me and using me despite my mistakes.
I long to catch up with you. Annie and I are active on twitter. I wish I'd see you there.
Yours--
