october is almost over ...

And you know what? Winter will be arriving soon.

So, tonight I find myself wondering why I didn't go with my boyfriend and his cousin to the haunted house. I just didn't feel like it. I miss being with my boyfriend; our work schedules just doesn't match up.

I felt like being alone, and now, I feel lonely. /shrugs

I miss my friend ... actually, I miss a few friends. But I miss her the most. We were best friends in college, and we haven't spoken for about three years now. I don't know why I miss her, but we use to be two peas in a pod.

Oh well.

Holy moley, it's October already!

It's the third day of October to be exact, and I less than three this month. You know why?

It's almost time for the World Series! [And yes, I'm a huge baseball fan :)]

I fell in love with baseball during the 1996 World Series... and with each following year, I have fallen in love with baseball more, and with one specific team: the New York Yankees.

... and this is where I'll end that because I don't want to incite a flame war on my blog.


Anyways, it's October. I have two weddings to go to this month, and they happen to be back-to-back weekends, too. I'm looking forward to them because a) I get to be with my guy for two weekends in a row :)

We hardly see each other because of different work schedules and he goes to school, too, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But, we make it work, somehow.

This past weekend, my friends and I went apple-picking and then, in the evening, we convened again and partied like rock stars! I met a friend's alter ego when he's drunk. I tasted my best friend's cake pops, which were amazingly delicious. I spent an entire day with my guy :huge grin:


Oh! I also had a fingerprint session last Friday for a job that pays better than my current job; now, I have about a month to wait before training starts. Then, two weeks of training, and then, I find out what my schedule is going to be. I'm excited. Hopefully, the job won't be too bad.

Random tidbit: I love this season. :D

remembering

Today is Nanay's death anniversary. My aunt Lourdes, better known as Nanay, passed away in September 22, 2004.

She had breast cancer, but beat it. However, it had spread to her lungs before any of her doctors could find it.


I remember going along with her to her treatments, being surrounded by death in that building. It's not a memory I'd like to remember because I accompanied her a lot on those visits.

And I just can't believe it has been this long...

That day will always be engraved in my head. I received the call while I was just getting out of my class... it was one of many classes that I took with Professor Garrity. And I remember collapsing in the doorway when I finally listened to the voicemail that was left to me, telling me that she had passed away.


I still get tears in my eyes.

...we miss you. I miss you, Nanay. I hope that wherever you are, you are doing okay. We wish that you were still with us.
