This is weird, I dreamt about my old friends from high school. Night scene they just showed up on a van without a driver seat. Inside the van are my friends Richie (who died recently), Jaime Popoy Nicolas and outside Andy Villanueva, Ding Evangelista, Bubut Buenviaje, Amy Perez, Floriza Nepomuceno and Winnie Inocencio. They are just saying hi to me.

Another scene, inside filthy toilet and i'm changing my clothes and when I realized how dirty the toilet was I went out and saw Ding & Andy and all of my friends (the one I drew).

Another scene when Bubut teach me and try to massage my back but I told her..."no, i'm fine".
I walk on a vacant lot beside the firewall and and turn around & I saw again my friends on the van.

When I woke up, I immediately get a paper & sketch my friends quickly.

"Yes, I did this sketch during live parents orientation, and yes...right now...I almost done" this

 was my reply to one of facilitator Sister Madz. And she quickly took a snap & requested to borrow my sketch to show to her colleagues.

And one of her friends shouted..."hmmm I know this guy he drew this...it's Fullcircle!".Well that guy is my close friend Bro. Allen who knows me well.

This event was organized by CFC Couples for Christ Dubai for our children who went for youth camp. And after Parents Orientation given by Bro. Edward Yuson we attended our children's...some kind of graduation rites (you know that stuffs...singing, dancing and afterwards crying...).

I'm happy that day as I chat again to my old friends like Rocky & Pia Parroco, Allen & Del Cabugon and others ( Sorry...I can't remember their names).

I gave the original sketch to Bro. Edward Yuson as a gift.
