“Happy thoughts for a change.” my friend would say. Here you go, happy thoughts!

I had a haircut, more of I gave myself a haircut the other week. I run the scissors across my hair and it was over in two snips. Last week was one of the bad weeks in the year. This week, however, is different.

Just a weatherman. It is my brother’s birthday yesterday. He turned 22, born 1988. He is my favorite person born that year. The next one being my friend Joy. This is his first birthday without my mother, I think we would have made our mother proud. So far. Little days like yesterday make me really thankful. They are the reason I do not check out of life just yet–despite a lot of things.

Click, click, saddle up. The other day, I met my friend Len for lunch. She gave me a bunch of clothes which she thought would look cute on me. This dress shirt is one of them. The coming days I plan on taking photos of the new things I got from her, because they are pretty and it would be such a waste if she never sees me wearing them. Len is very good at finding thrift finds. I want that talent. On top of this, she never gets fat OR her stomach never gets fat. How is that for gifted?

See you on the moon then. I miss a few people this week, journal. There is this boy, I used to talk to about politics (I bet sometimes he gets tired about hearing me rant about such things) and languages (the precision of nouns!), I miss him.

I was planning a trip to Sagada on the 12th and 13th but I can’t cause I remember having work that weekend. One of the best (if not the best) meteor shower for the year will be gracing the sky that night and I have work. Sagada would have been lovely: imagine a night sky without city lights. Oh well.

Happy thoughts for a change.
