Seize the Night!!!

September 26, 2005 - A date that marked the Birthday of one of my truest friends, Nick. But never did we know that it’d also be the day that Dreamers united once again.

Nick invited us (Ace, Gerrie, Milo and I) to go to Rockwell to celebrate his birthday. It was so much fun! After months of playing as ’soloists’, Ace, Nick and I finally played a complete session in Gitadora V. And, of course, we played the song that made us go back to our lives: Sailing Day. We didn’t really get highscores, especially me since I was going wild on the guitars to the point that I often lost the rhythm, but it just great playing session mode with people that you know also felt the song and recognized its impact on their lives. At that moment, it was as if we owned the song because we have so much desire to live it.

After the session, we went straight to the Videoke booth and sang our hearts (and voices) out. Milo and I were able to get the highest score of the day (93) when we sang/screamed Halik ni Hudas by Wolfgang. Ace and Nick also got a high score when they sang Nami Tamaki’s Realize. And Gerrie… well… sang with Ace… nevermind the score. All that singing made us hungry so we went straight to dinner at Chinese Monk.

My bestfriend, Elaigh, arrived just when we were about to eat. She wasn’t able to join us earlier because she had work and I forgot to tell her that it was Nick’s birthday (I’m a bad bestfriend! Waaaaaah! I deserve to be tied up and tickled to death!). We all just talked a lot at dinner. All of us were making pot-shots at Milo’s hair, which made him look like Jesus Christ (just add a mustache). And Ace also told us that she’s going to be hosting a Final Fantasy themed Pen-and-Paper RPG. I can’t wait to play! the story setting is very interesting.

We all went on home after that. Even the road trip home was so much fun because we got to talk about our lives. We are all in this transition phase which we all should’ve experienced years ago (I guess we we’re all sheltered from life, one way or another). We are at a point where we are all trying to truly define what we want, what we need and how to get it. A point wherein we all sort out realizable goals from impossible fantasies. I guess, we just reached another checkpoint that required us to renew our license to grow up. And we did just that.

At the end of the day, we all had smiles on our faces. It is very comforting to know that in my quest to chase my dreams, I am not alone in trying to set sail. Although, my ship hasn’t left port yet, I know that it is not impossible for me to catch up with my fellow sailors. And I’ll be able to keep my promise of sailing along side them; one of these days.
