Hey Jen…i think you should still do it, you know. That MA, if you want. I mean, you should never let anyone stand in your way of what you really want. I know that's hard to say, and I think its amazing, how even at this age, our parents still have such a hold over us. Moving abroad has made me realise that its really a cultural thing - you can really do what you want, and just because your parents don't want you to, it doesn't mean you can't, its all in your willpower. I admire your courage for moving on. You are living your life to the fullest and totally seizing the day! Go on and do it Jen, I believe in you.
Posted by Lars at June 21, 2006, 6:53 pmmy best friend does that too - she finished law and parang she suddenly has to support a family of five, because her parents won't buck up and take responsibility. its driving her insane. she says, kaya ko pa, when i reach a point na hindi na talaga, i don't know na what to do. i don't know what to tell you cos I don't know your situation, but i hope that in the end you get to do what you want - like take an MA part time (one class a sem- can you do that there?) or travel some more…as long as they're not taking advantage of you bec sometimes when people know they can get help from someone, they don't work anymore, know what i mean? take care and God bless. Let me know if you need anything. (Oh, and hello, Peter!)
Posted by Lars at June 23, 2006, 6:48 pmJen, I think you should go ahead and live your dreams. You're one of the people I admire fo doing so much and getting so much accomplished. All your friends admire you for being such a go getter. I think you are making your dreams happen one day at a time. All the best wishes in your band career! Text me so I can watch your first gig. hehe
Hi Jen! I’ve been following your blogs for quite some time now and have never had the urge to comment…until now. The reason? I saw your tag: Jennifer Adams. Rang a bell. Couldn’t place it a first but all of a sudden it dawned on me. We were classmates in high school. Brigitte (Jet) Reynes, here! You used to go to my place for some dance practice or other. What a coincidence! Anyway, I knew you excelled at almost anything you did in high school but I never thought of the price you had to pay for it. It’s good that you decided to just do what makes you happy…it’s a sign of a “turning point” in one’s life. You just realize that life is too short to waste on what if’s. Keep up the good work with your blogs! I love reading them! Shoot me an email or something if you remember me, hehe!
Posted by Jet at June 19, 2009, 4:35 amOMG! Hi Jet! How have you been? Of course I remember you. You were the girl who introduced me to vodka after all and it’s now my favorite kind of alcohol. Hehehe. Are you still here in the Philippines or residing in some far off country by now? A lot of our schoolmates seem to have fled the country. I may be one of the few ones who are sticking it out here. But I do love it here. Teehee.
Anyway, how are you? If you’re in Manila, let me know. Maybe you, April, Michelle Cothern and I can have a get together or something. By the way, are you still in touch with them?
Oh and thanks for reading my blog. That is so sweet of you! I’m back into acting now. If you’ve read my more current posts, I’ve already retired from my government work and am now living a more carefree life.
Take care and keep in touch okay? Mwah!

Hey…you're my basket case. And I'm your basket case. So we're a little crazy but so what? That's what makes you and me fun I think. And our life is open to make new and even better memories. We have made quite a few great ones, don't you agree? Looking back has it's merits such that we learn from life and looking forward keeps us ready to take on challenges that lie ahead. But we have something priceless, something nearly impossible to capture. We have Now. And with you Jen, yesterday seems sweeter, and tomorrow looks bright and right now…it feels like it's ours. Love you baby.
