fortunate encounters

though today was long and tedious (i don't think i've ever been so impatient in a car), i was so glad to see people i haven't been with for a long time. of course i was kind of anticipating it - i had scheduled that cheap rapper for to be a guest on angel radyo, where i interned almost two years ago. so i went there and saw my old bosses. i really think the place is nice for interns. they really do make it easy for the students to fit into the groove of the station. i had a good time there. nobody minded that i was much more quiet that the rest of the interns. sadly the place was bare, devoid of staff. i hope it's just today, though the technician said many people have left the company. anyway, i had a polite chat with two hosts: sir tony cuevas and sir... hmm.. so sorry i forgot his name but he's a very endearing gay man who works there... and ma'am margie the news director who's thinner with long hair, has a new foster kid with her afp husband... and of course sir loi landicho the program director and kuya brendo the technician. i kept badgering them to trade their jack skellington ashtray with me. clearly jack is an underrated member of their office! well, sa joey naman daw kasi yun. dammit, i should have asked nikki to get it for me before he left! as always i asked where co-interns are and who followed me from my school... it was really fun. they took quite a bit of our time, but i'm glad since i was able to talk to them. serendipitous were the two other encounters. at abs-cbn, i saw my blockmate jen lanuzga exiting the building. she was really thin. (speaking of which, thanks kuya bren for thinking i lost weight since my internship.) i gave her a hug and it was really genuine surprise! natulala nga siya, as she said. and i do miss those hugs that all of us in the block share especially during early mass comm mornings and after gruelling hours of schoolwork. i also saw broadguild batchmate chris del rosario at the newsroom. unfortunately we weren't able to talk. ah, the past it just too romantic for me.
