My Dear Ephraim
By Yan • Mar 28th, 2008 • Category: InanitiesI am not breaking up with you.
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.
Gen showed me this interesting Time article about flirting. Odd that it came from Gen of all people; odder still that she thought of me when she read it. Hello! Subtle, much?
Girl power would be more appropriate if we were…say, girls. Sadly, we are not. Oh, biology would insist that we have the necessary tools. But reason dictates otherwise.

Yan: It’s fun…? hahahah.
Jojo: It’s crude.
Yan: …all the time?
Jojo: Not really all the time. Sometimes, you [...]
This year, I celebrated my birthday with a splash. Literally.
I once said that if Mark and I were to split, the settlement battle process would be a complete nightmare. The hardest decision being - who gets to keep our friends.

Yan: Sorry, Jo. It’s been an emotional week.
Jojo: It’s ok, Yan. I know. No worries. I understand. That’s why I opted to sign out so you can just lash out without me hearing it. And maybe we can talk when you are no longer in your emotional state. Sorry for anything. It’s ok, [...]
Loved this rare opportunity to catch up (rare being an understatement, what with our uncompromising schedules).
From left to right: Jojo in Singapore, Bonita in Jakarta, and me in my hermit’s cave. Unseen participants: Gen in her office (no web cam, obviously) and Mark snoring beside me.
*sniff* *sniff* I miss you all so much. [...]
