Most of my pictures are tucked in an album in Cebu. I wish I have them with me. Perhaps I will bring some back with me, the next time I visit. Good thing, I remember having this on file from my multiply blog.
And yes, this was exactly 10 years ago! Sometime in September 2001 at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), Centre for Urban Planning and Environmental Management (CUPEM). This was taken during our lunch break, with my dear friends A & V (cropped on my right is J). Back then, the three of us were inseparable! A Filipino, Nepali, and a Chinese... yes, we three. A will be coming to visit me soon in October. V was just here last July. I miss us being together, having tea and noodles. It was such an adventure!
I remember them complaining every time we had to go to the washroom after lunch. They would have to wait as I brush my teeth, powder my face, and put lip gloss on. They called me a "lady" for fun! Because they thought I was too fancy for graduate school. All that change in a matter of months. The boyfriend then, who is now my husband, was surprised to see how I let myself go! LOL! He thought I have become too rugged . Oh well...
Another treasure I found in the study, is a picture with my superfriends from UP before I left for HKU. I actually miss those days where we go to a studio and have portraits taken hehehe! They gave this picture to me during my despedida.
Back in college, there were eight of us girls and a boy! I was the "manang", oh how silly! I was also the most stubborn and the control freak. It was either my way or hell! LOL! I would like to think I have mellowed down (you think?!).
Now, all of us are godparents to each other's sons. In this picture is K, C, J, and L... missing are B, A, J, and C. I miss these ladies! I wish we can have our getaway the next time I visit. (Well, they have been traveling without me!).

I was 24 in these pictures. A life was waiting for me... I was hopeful for a wonderful future and certainly living it now. And yet I know that the future still holds so much for me, my husband, and my kids... I am grateful!
