October just closed…2 more months of 2002. Are there things to look forward to? Two things in November: the Harry Potter flick, and the Vincent-Hazel wedding; 3 things in December: Pipol [college friends] X’mas party on the 21st, X’mas Noche Buena with family on the 25th, --- and, well, the 10-years-after-high-school reunion. With that line-up, the rest of the year should be pretty hectic! Without me knowing, 2003 will creep in – and a new cycle begins…it starts with the “Lord of the Rings”, then V-day, then summer, rainy season, birthday, and so on… --- It’s the thought of these life cycles that gets me through the day. Of course sound bits of Aerosmith (1975-89 era), Mr. Joey Ayala & U2 (in A. baby) are also helpful these days.
