reiner and marisol- fellow writers, teachers and most importantly..friends..

i signed in last night on a friend's web guestbook.. she and her husband are college friends and i haven't seen them for a long, long time. they are now based in washington.

reiner is a fraternity brother of a very very good friend of mine, and have known him for a decade at least.. heck, there was even a time when we i lived in a flat beside their family house that his mom was renting out. in all those times that i've known the guy, and in everything that he did----writing, singing, messing with his guitar, etc.. (including choosing his wife, hehehehe) he never failed to show the talented artist in him. i have always enjoyed talking to my friend reiner because he likes, have read about, knows, seen most things that i enjoy... there are not to many people that i know who has the same passion with broadway, rock, alternative, classical music, mysteries, books... real books... library science suits him fine i think :) he's a very loyal friend too, and that nowadays is a treasure worth more than all the gold and platinum that you can find.

marisol, a sorority sister of this good friend of mine--and reiner's too of course.. was in the college of home economics then, majoring in child development. it was always nice talking to marisol, comparing notes -- i was then in the college of education majoring in english and art education-- first, about school, about our areas of studies, about friends, then after a while, about life, marriage, budget, rents, life...how difficult it can sometimes be.. how beautiful it can always be..lefe..

anyway, reading her blog gives me the teaching itch :) i haven't taught(professionally) for about two years and she makes me realize how i miss teaching. somehow, writing and teaching and art always seem to be perfect partners...i don't really know what my point really is.. hehehe but i miss these people.. and i miss painting... and i miss teaching.. it's good writing comforts me....
