Growing Up

Rj laid it out.

A costume party for Halloween. Serious costumes. Cowboy outfits from grunge-era plaid flannel shirts tucked into denim pants don't cut it.

Two blocks of yellow foam for Sponge Bob, that's what he's talking about.

And we all agreed.

Elena put it succintly, "Sige ba. Lumalaki naman kayo ng paurong, eh." With "kayo", I take it to mean that she freely admits to having already grown up odd.

Sara wasn't with us at the time, and I texted her ahout the idea for the party. She replied that she'll come in a high school uniform. As expected, the guys and I were quite supportive.

Elena said that she has an authentic Japanese sailor girl outfit. TC's eyes immediately lit up, to which Elena replied "Baka hindi na tayo umabot sa party kung suotin ko iyon."

"Tamang-tama", TC said, "pwede ako magdamit na pang-DOM!"

"Huwag kang umasa na may makukha ka sa akin kung iyan ang gagawin mo." came the quick reply.

As you can tell, wearing pants really isn't just for guys.

The two of them did raise an important point. We'd better set some rules or, instead of a Halloween party, we might end up with a set of a porn production.

Paurong or not, it's nice to know that we've grown up enough to let go and have fun. Otherwise, we really have no business being adults.
