3 Airports in 15 Hours

It Was a White Birthday

No Date In Downtown Ends Without Conversations over a Cup of Coffee

March 12, 2005
LA to Calgary to Mississauga to Toronto (March 12, 2005)

I was up in cloud nine practically for close to 12 hours prior to my birthday. More than that, in fact, as I sit here, still overwhelmed, giddy and thankful for all the well-wishes, via text, email and phone calls. Much more to those who spent their precious moments and some of their blog space to remember me.

You know who you are - to my sis Linnor who posted my first day of school pic and Vangie, my high school graduation mug, I heart you two. No, I couldn't be angry..Paris Hilton didn't get mad, why should I be? But after seeing the pics, the others of you now know, I'm a late bloomer. The picture from Tin is more like me these days. The pictures accompanied a lot of big words and sometimes I wish I was the guy these three ladies were talking about. They stand to have known me for at least more than a decade now.

My similarity to a certain Fil-Italian hunk was clearly shown with AnP's entry. Yes, if I may say so, I dont need to take my shirt off, if I have AnP as my publicist, to get your vote. I'll hire Mark, with wife Petite to write my foreword (in case I'd have a book). That piece, Mark's (not the future book) is worthy of a Palanca Award. Really.

Dindin, Bea and Ellen - my coffeemates, here's to you (see me raise my coffee cup). I posted a picture of Starbucks to commemorate our passion for the bean.

Dirt sa Alak (my original palindrome) for my two GetAsia mates, Kala, Astrid, Salamat. Everyone thought we were working our as%es when we actually were blogging our time away in that Citi Office. hehe. Had I known we'd be closer when we're apart, I'd have spent more facial time with you 2.

Denden, pretty as you are, we can only be brothers and sisters in the blog world. You own a blog that shares one thing with me - the day we were born. We even share the name, your blog is the intelektwal and I'm the bleep bleep.

Jo, i love history too. I love what you also wrote and the video was priceless. Oh, but you missed one thing in history though, March 12 is also shared with one great comedian - Chiquito.

Bunny, yes, I needed to rush home because I wanted to. I could've just given up but I said "no!". Just like love, and marriage too, you need to work hard at it because you want to. Its not a decision. Its a commitment. Thank you for the last 3 years..and more!

My passion for seeing new places and sharing them through pictures has been highlighted by Toni, who among with 3 more blogs, my Paparazzi also loves to read.

There are 20 more who I havent thanked for who greeted and 200 more who got curious who this Junnie is, salamat.

Now that you've seen me with pictures from my ancient past...would you still be here to read and see me through my 37th year?

I'll just enjoy this day for now.
