day before i popped by at brenda's commencement, and yesterday it was sharon's. it's pretty neat meeting your other friends around and going crazy snapping away. everyone is so connected it's kinda fun actually.  then we called ying and headed to holland v for a chill out cum sharon's grad mini celebratory tea dinner thing. it was one of the most laughter filled sessions every at that cosy cushion stuffed nook facing the window with the clear light, so the memory of yesterday was hazy crazy. and i ordered a morning dew tea, sugarless of course, all light and subtle adding to that crisp woozy giddy high of spending time with the girls, my girls them all.  there's this thing with old friends that carry on with you till the present, they give you a sense of self, a continuity's both comforting and rejuvinating, and i love the feeling so. and the girls were great, staying with me till i had to pop over to wala-wala to meet the aki chaps, the interns at maps with whom i think are great company for an evening of group chill out, nice music, nice friends, nice vibe.
 
i say, shopping on impulse is prob the downfall of many a poor students. wandered into mango yesterday, and there was this blue fitted jacket with slight shoulder paddings and big squarish pockets, but i didn't need another jacket. just now while writing in my diary the image of the perfect bag of the moment came into my mind, like a prophetic vision, light leather huge fitted tote with a continuing shoulder strap that ends in a silver or chrome buckle. it would match everything i wear i know. it's the season of lace camisoles, my favourite of all time.
