reminiscing

a couple of nights ago,i spent a very good evening with two of my
girlfriends -- janice and mikhai. too bad cha wasn't able to make it,and i
was sure she missed our lakad. we were looking for a red top we were
required to wear for a program launching at work. we ransacked each and
every store possible for that perfect red top. good thing we were able to
grab one just right before the stores closed. we also had dinner at
burger king. really i was planning to have a very light dinner,but
fastfood don't really offer "light" stuff. there's no light in junk after
all. but mikhai and i had to give way to a very hungry,fragile-framed
janice. otherwise she'll be forced to skin us and eat us alive. i wonder
where she puts all the stuff she eats.

when janice leaves for dubai in 2 weeks (ayyyyy),the four of us will
never be complete again. we will never be the same again. definitely we
will be seeing one another again in a couple of years,but we really
can't bring back the old bond. for sure,we will be exposed to different
environment and experiences,so as our perspective and sentiments. i should
know,i have friends who've been gone for a while,and they become a
different person when they come home. i mean,change isn't bad. it's just
that i think we should learn to embrace it well. we have to move on for
a better understanding of things to come. we shouldn't dwell in the
past as it becomes frustrating most,if not all, the time.

please indulge me as i take a trip down memory lane.

here are a few unforgettable moments we will surely miss about our
group:

-gala on a weeknight
-pigging out
-st.jude novena every thursday
-trips to the salon
-make up shopping...
-...shopping in general
-ranting about everything we could ever think of
-laughing at each other's jokes
-planning vacations that never ever push through
-MANGTABLA NG MGA KAIBIGAN!
-singing at the top of our lungs in a karaoke bar
-movie nights
-pogi spotting
-listening to family stories that makes us realize that our families
are indeed strange,but we love them just the same
-how cha & i talk about books,and janice & mikhai can't relate
(remember "300"?)
-lovelife anecdotes that turn out to be silly,funny or plain shitty
-yosi (ahhh....)
-WENSHA!!!!
-exchanging gossips about our high school batchmates that are eighter
shocking or hilarious
-joyride a.k.a. client call
-sharing beauty regimen...

well the list could go on,and i must say it really is the bond that
will be sorely missed. wherever our fates take us,one thing is for sure:
our friendship is for keeps!

janice,i'll pray for you. fulfill your mission.
