ria

another cousin (from my father's side) has joined the blogging network - ria. our friendship dates back from our college years, we were classmates, wala syang choice, kasi block section kami. ria is this bubbly girl, friend ng buong bayan because of her genuine smile and contagious laughters. nakakainis, wala atang kagalit ito. i remember her to be the most thoughtful girl in the class, giving away personalized cards to the classmates who are celbrating their birhtdays.

and why did i address her as a cousin, kasi blood is thicker than water! well, we would have never known about it had it not for a dead relative. here's how it went - one afternoon, while waiting for the next class, we were *chilling in our tambayan, the kiosk on the corner, beside the university canteen. i cant remember who was first to declare about the dead relative. i didnt say the name of the dead relative, masyadong maraming kamag-anak ang tatay ko to remember their names. anyway, i asked kung saan yung patay nila, and she told me it was in batangas. then, i specifically asked, where in batangas, she said in santor. that made us both wonder. to cut the long story short, tatay had traced that her mother and he (tatay) are both related, to some extent (4th or 5th degree).

she and i are meeting up tomorrow for an adventure! will tell more about it this weekend.

*chilling
side story, isang session ng chat namin ni ria, she mentioned "he's chilling"
sabi ko, hindi sya mamatay (engot ako, i thought chilling meant, chilling out of sickness. yun pala chilling, as in relaxing, hehehe.)
