FUBARgenre: The Genre of Fubar

9 years. It’s been a lifetime.

Remember…

It hit me the moment Gen and I stepped out of the backstage area and onto the main grounds: this used to be our playground, but we’re strangers here now. Suffice it to say that it just wasn’t the same. Our time has passed. It’s their UP fair now. Not ours. *sniff*

I’m writing this from a 7-year old laptop that’s practically falling apart at the seams. This is the only working computer in our entire geekdom today. Imagine that.

I haven’t talked to, nor heard from, Pio in over 4 years. That’s a long time for two people who claim to be friends.

Jojo: It’s heartless.
Yan: It’s fun…? hahahah.
Jojo: It’s crude.
Yan: …all the time?
Jojo: Not really all the time. Sometimes, you [...]

I had every intention of staying at least a month in Manila, or long enough to be missed, anyway. It didn’t happen. My so-called sojourn didn’t even last an entire two weeks. I had to come home. Or whatever you call this place where I eat, live, and sleep. I had to come back to [...]

In less than 24 hours, I’m gonna be my parents’ baby again. It’s been years since I spent an entire day (let alone a week) with my folks.
