think i'm down with a case of the sniffles, thanks to the breakdown of the immune system. oh, and the fact that there's been a bug about and people dropping like flies all around. not dying of course, getting sick is what i meant.

had an easy-breezy day at home, digging through the drawers and dusting off old shelves. found my stack of photos that i took in jc which i thought i had lost, and spent a good hour and a half going through them, then starting from the beginning again after i finished. sometimes i wish i was back in that uniform again, having my friends near, and reclaiming that carefree attitude that came with those times.

i miss singing in the choir, sitting in the void deck, talking for hours on the phone till the wee hours of the morning and getting up some three hours later. the need for responsibility was waived for us then -- we were kings and conquerors. just some nostalgia, not that i particularly had an attachment to the school itself. honestly, far from it, but looking back on the times we spent the way we did, i can't help but think that if i had a chance to go back and live it all again, i wouldn't have changed a thing, good or bad.

we've all got our own lives to lead now but still our paths cross once in a while. we meant something to each other then, and we do now. i still laugh when i think of how you teased me, how you sang to me, how we skipped school together, how we shared secrets over the phone at night. you are the light in my eyes, you are all the smiles that ever crossed my face. you are every friend i ever made.

i can't imagine what i might have done without each and every one of you. you mean the world to me. thank you.
