SO

so.

(source: FR. Something's mass in GB3; 25 MARCH 2006)

again.
so.

so is such a strong word. it may be ony a two letter word BUT it brings different emotions.
it could be a conjunction like, "i went to the mall so i could buy this and that for you. it could be a pronoun like have you ever met "so and so" when you are simply telling a story. it could be an expression. like.. when you are about to start a conversation after a lull moment.. u usually start it with a "so! what's up". or, when you are asking about something, u answer with a "so?" or "so what?!?" depending on the mood. or it could be an intensifier. like when your mom cooks something for you. then she asks,how is it? you answer ok. and then she knows your being polite and its probably not that good. when you answer it with a it is delicious, it could ellicit a smile, but this is subjective. but when you answer it is SO delicious she would probably end up cooking you the whole meal for the rest of the week.

and again. look how john 3:18's verse "for God SO loved the world that he gave his only son, and whoever believes in hime shall not perish but have eternal life." made such a difference with the word SO.

ang galing noong pari. it was a lively homily. believe me. for someone who usually spends the homily staring blankly at space everytime i go to mass, this homily was really interesting.

it's a good thing to prove that not all priests are bores. you just have to go to the right places to hear a homily that suits you. my mins is craving for a more contemporary approach so gb3 suits me.

speaking of gb3...

after mass, before we go home, mum and i passed by starbucks. we are to buy a frap. as i passed the window i thoughti saw somebody i know. then as we entered the store, i looked at the "man" whom "i thought i knew" and the closer look proved me that the guy was indeed somebody i know. it actually was mr. mark lorenz domingo. aka, mr salutatorian when i graduated. i do not know whether he saw me.. or whether he did not. well, i knew it was him. nag iisa lang naman ang mukha at facial expression na yon. seeing him like that, i cant believe i did fall for the guy. give it up for his smarts. his intelligence takes the credit for me crushing over him, NOTHING ELSE. my eyes proved that to me at starbucks. funny thing was, he was at starbucks with a guy supposedly his friend or acquaintance or something but he was busy playing with his phone. actually both hime and the guy he was with. naisip ko lang that if i was in his shoes and i was with his friend, like jamie for example, we woulf be busy gabbing away. we're poles apart. that was maybe why we always end up fighting before. it was not purely academical then. personal intentions na rin.

seeing him was like flashing back four years of my life. it was weird seeing him in makati. gb3 for example. i go there because i do not want to bump into anyone. i go there to exscape my usual life in cavite. but lo and behold, my supposedly "escape" after four years turned to be the only place where i could be seeing my then academical-and-other-aspects enemy. the world is so small! talagang wala kang matatago sa mundo no? it would naturally spill your secrets. parang ung"whatever" relation that lorenz and i have. it is not something everybody knows. but ironically, the guy i feel most awkward with, is the one person i meet in the place i call my escape.

speaking of escape..

i am ecstatic to my next beach visit... i bought these cool havainas.. and it could be expensive.. but... indulgence! malaki naman kasi paa ko noh! and "all flip flops" was the only store where everything fitted me and everything suits me well, and i liked all the designs and my mom did not have anything to fit her. imagine! miss lotus feet did not find anything that would fit her. it was not something i would see everyday. i was teasing her nga with this, telloing her that id be buying all my slippers from all flip flops everytime we go somewhere and not just from the local markets of the provinces and she tells me that she;d rather buy me ten pairs of the flip flops from the local markets than buying me one that has the havainas seal. admittedly, sobrantg indulgence naman un no. i can just imagine my lola being so scandalized by the price of that "smagol" ika nga niya.. a pair of slippers causing that much is OUTRAGEOUS! nakakatawa! =))

i can just hear my grandmother's grunting! =P
