random thoughts about myself

If you see a petite lady at a coffee shop, wearing a paisley printed dress with purple flats and you see beside her a very big yellow bag, as if she’s carrying her whole house every time she goes out, don’t feel frustrated. That’s probably me. My name is Geefe Alba.

Please pronounce my first name correctly, it is pronounced like Jeffrey, not like “Gee, Fe, your hair smells good.”

I can’t really blame my mom when she gave me that five-letter word name, because she also gave my two sisters, the names Genefer and Geda. She probably found it challenging to combine the syllables of her name, Fernanda and my father’s name, Genaro, into the first names of her three daughters. I always feel proud of my parents although they passed away early.

I also feel my name is unique. At school a lot of people had difficulty pronouncing my name so I had lots of nicknames, I had Pong, Pipay, Pie, Ge, and the most popular in high school, Goofy. It was when we had a new teacher and she could not really read my name and probably my handwriting. She assumed my e’s were o’s so she called me Goofy Alba and I said “Present.” So instead of teasing the new teacher, they teased me.

I used to collect different table napkins as souvenir of the places I have been to. I love to travel to our local cities and villages. Not until we had flashfloods early this year, I had more than a boxful of these tissues from restaurants to hotels and food chains. I think I better collect again.

I am not really an expert when it comes to English language especially since it is a second language for a Filipino like me. But I love to write, because Math never understood me and singing was never on my talent list.

In my situation at present, there is really nothing I could ask for that would essentially make me happier. But I want to be really rich so I can buy a car and a yacht, travel to Asia, Europe and countries in America and buy that authentic Chanel chained bag made exclusively for the selfish and murderers of lambs. I think I had too much coffee for today.

been out

Wow! I'm seeing spider webs on this blog. Long time since I got the chance to shamelessly talk about myself and my life in public's view. Too busy doing nothing, really. Going to places. Hanging out with old friends. No new friends yet, only new acquaintances. Same old, same old. After two years of working as a regional correspondent for a national daily newspaper, I have forwarded my resignation letter. I have too many things on my mind on what to do next but none of them were actually taken into action. Well, except for one,that I will visit Lyn on her birthday. She lives in another city now continuing her culinary studies. Nat, on the other hand, finally went to the land of Americas and is residing in New Jersey, after more than a year of waiting. She got wed locked to Joe. I'm always happy for her. Although I miss her badly and even Lyn even if she's just an eight-hour bus trip away. I miss their friendship.

I managed to stay where I am, totally grounded. I always wanted to flee to another city, wanting to enroll in that Spanish class in Cebu. I have already asked a lot of people and confirmed that the class is really, free of charge. So, what the heck, I'll take my chances. But I'll wait for next year. :)

I'm seeing my college friends again, Maurine and Maya. Both are totally different personalities but they go ga-ga over one topic: guys! I have given them advices; unfortunately, they seem to have short-term memory loss on those advices. Good thing Dory of the movie Finding Nemo, made that term popular. Because I wouldn't know what word to describe on how they keep forgetting what I just told them. I wouldn't worry much about them. They're all big girls now. Even if they will eventually stumble and fall and maybe practically dive into one pitfall of madness, we can always have a cup of coffee on Wednesdays. I would probably have that glass of margarita later.

Me, I'm in love. I'm not complaining. But I have to mellow down my anger management issue. I have noticed I get easily angry nowadays. I get frustrated on things that don't really matter much on common people. I don't know. Maybe this is a result of pretending to be happy for a long time even if I always see I'm half empty, or half full.

Borgie knows too much, and I have to kill him if he wants to be free. hehehe...;p This is one new relationship adventure I'm having with Borgie. But if this is good for me, I would not go anywhere far from him. He's an inspiration.

No major new in my life. The only thing that's important for me now is to keep that smile on my face wherever I'll be.

Happy Holidays!
