versus

i sometimes envy my high school friends. every time i'm with them, i don't feel like i've been wasting my time hearing really sabaw jokes. it's not that it's a waste time, coz by this age, we should be talking about really serious stuff, like politics, economy, etc, shouldn't we? anyway, their stories are really funny; they just make fun of anyone or anything that would tickle their funny bones. i sometimes compare what is happening to me with my college barkada and high school barkada. one thing that i've noticed is that there are no dramas with the latter. sabaw lang talaga or purong kagaguhan. i think that it is either when i was in high school, i hid my "dramatic" side and tried to pretend that everything is alright though it's not or now in college, i've become too sensitive to what is happening around me. as for the latter, i tried to meddle with the things and to fix - as if i'm actually involved and as if i could. actually, i've noticed a similarity. i've been stuck with them, both hs friends and college friends, really well. and it made parting ways a really fugly bitch. i'm actually having a hard time coping with the fact that we were heading to different courses. i know that school's really small but the tight schedule would lessen the time (especially the lunches, since it has really special for me) that we get to spend with each other. hay, i really don't know why i end up writing this kind of post. is it because i got to see a long lost hs friend? or washing the dishes reminded me of my hs friends' tasks at their apartment? or i'm tired of becoming a homeboy and i don't want to work? ewan ewan... shout-outs to my high school barkada: ben, emong, finney, casey, carlo and michael. shout outs to my college barkada: nel, bl, phongkei, miggy, lor, fel, ros, les, victor, dennis, bam, and gio.

on my first hs reunion

last friday, i attended our first high school reunion. i knew that it would be a hassle for me because i had to wake up really early for the event next day. especially that i the reunion isn't a reunion without drinking. haha. and there goes again me becoming a drunkard. anyway, i had fun. it's nice to see people again. (yeah, i know, that's the point. why do i even have to mention it?) some people haven't changed. while some had a ridiculous change. i thought that someone was just a friend from college but to my surprise, after we had him analyze (as if he was an experiment), he was our batchmate. grabe, karamihan na lang yata pumayat nung nag-college, ako lang bumigat. it's also good that talents have come out. some of our batchmates brought their friends/bandmates along to play. school should have realized that our batch's kinda talented not only in acads, but in music too (eh, sana may ball tayo). of course, anna and the pink table was there too playing their usual songs. hindi nakakasawa pero nakakatuwa, kasi lahat ng tao nag-rereminisce. pero si jayson cruz talaga ang champion ng gabi. it was my first time to see him go crazy on public. it must be because he just missed his hs friends. i just got to hang out with him during our sabaw congo practice days. well, the whole sapphire was sabaw naman eh. i hope our next reunion, there would be more people. too bad that finney missed it. and one more thing, my crush when i was in 2nd yr is still beautiful. ahaha. oh, thanks to samuel and jeff for organizing this reunion.

small world

krizy francisco, my former blockmate, moved to california. after around four months since she moved there, ryan aguirre, my grade school classmate, commented on my facebook wall that he and krizy are classmates. who would've expected that? ahaha every time jen, my high school best friend, and i meet, she always get to share her upjma events, meetings and her friends. she usually mentions nissy, a close friend of jen. i once asked her where nissy studied during high school. jen said, st.paul pasig. i then told her, maybe she knows martha. yesterday, jen and i met. apparently, nissy and martha were barkada back in high school. i was surprised to see a contact of casey commenting on ros's multiply page. i asked casey who that guy was. he happens to be casey's classmate, and one of the smartest stat peeps. i then went to ros and asked also how that guy's related to her. she said that it was her ex's barkada. from what i remember, i also that guy when we were at eastwood last year. hay... jen, your sister's really right with the six degrees of separation. ehehe

nostalgic

what a nostalgic night. after a year, it was only this time that i was able to wait for a jeepney at the marikina sports center terminal. elo dropped us at bayan, a term used to mean the centro or town proper. that was the place where i used to wait for a ride home with my high school friends. man i remembered so many things on my way way home. -the sari-sari store where ernesto used to live. -the intersection in malanday where it's always jampacked with tricycles -the bus station which will remind me of melody's place -roosevelt college where ben used to live and the where we used to hang out before going straight home i really had fun remembering all of those things. i actually have so much to share but my schoolworks won't allow me.
