Of last week, today, and tomorrow

The past few days have been filled with a lot of activities. There’s the bridal shower, the wedding, and my uncle, who by the way is only a few years older than me. Uncle Adam or ‘Aahh-daam’ as we sarcastically call him (according to him, it’s ‘Ey-dem’ or something like that) came over here for a short vacation from the US. He specially requested that he stay over at our house. I thought we would have a hard time entertaining him. But it turned out to be no problem at all. It’s good to see him again, yeah even if he makes fun of our non-American slang accent.

My cousin got married yesterday, the first wedding in the clan. I can’t believe how much we’ve all grown. It seemed only yesterday when we would go to Q-zar or have sleepovers. Soon, we’ll all be married off with little kids running around the place. Well I don’t think it would be that soon for me anyway, although I’m almost next in line. (Nako pressure!) Yeah we usually follow the ‘according to age policy’ in our family. Haha I think I would have to pass though, because the big ‘L’ has been pretty elusive. They say it’s just around the corner, what corner are you talking about?!

I don’t know if it’s because of the recent events, but I’m relatively happy these past few days. It’s all about get-togethers last week and maybe up until tomorrow. I miss getting together with my cousins. We usually meet up only during required family gatherings. But now with the pre-wedding activities and with ‘Ey-dem’ being here, we’ve been going out a lot more often. Then last Friday, I also got to meet up with an old friend who came back from Canada. We go way back since elementary days, can you believe?! 5th grade to be exact. It’s been ages (literally!) since I’ve last seen her. Shucks I can’t help but think I’ve been left way behind already. Everybody’s changing and I’m still the same. If it were a race, I’m definitely in last place. This only means one thing; I got to run like hell starting here onwards.
