Just talking to myself…

When i was walking around megamall last friday, i felt my heart cringe….the all too familiar smell transported me back to 1998! Megamall was part of a life I lived that i got to share with 3 wonderful people. Instantly, i remembered the times when brad, mushu, biggy and i would troop down to see a movie. I passed by the Levi’s store where Brad and I spent a few thousand buying 2 pairs of jeans each which made us broke for the rest of the week…Passing by the stores and being able to breath that distinct megamall smell made want to cry…Of course i did not want to see my other friends see me sniff sniff so i distracted myself with the pain my heels were giving me.

1997 started a new chapter in my life. I hated living in manila! I went home almost every chance i can get…and i knew i was looking forward to the day i graduated….One time, we were out with Jojo (a senior then) and we were telling him how miserable we felt…he then told us to enjoy every minute of it because he knew we will definitely miss it…for a time, i thought it was impossible! How the hell will I miss those tricycle rides and endless budgeting of my allowance? He was wrong!!! or so i thought!

2006, i woke up pretty early today because i had to bring something in the office…I went straight back home and checked my email…i was scanning through my friends list and came across brad’s new wedding pictures…i felt that same knot in my tummy again…mushu’s offline message did not help because she said she was emotional in NY…I am waiting for Biggy to log in since i know she is stuck at home preggy with her 2nd baby…we have grown up so fast…it makes me sad to see how we live separate lives….for 3 straight years, we lived together as one room…as one E106 (with EmEm of course)….Jojo was right after all!!!! i trully miss the trike rides to mcdo!!! I miss being broke…I miss hearing brad say…."Yee, we have to withdraw! I only have 50 bucks in my wallet" I miss you my G’s!!! There were too many insane memories to remember…bottomline is, i miss all of you! With almost all of us married and mushu halfway across the world, things aren’t the same…but i know for sure that our friendship stays….i hope we can volt in soon! Maybe we can go to Biggy’s while she is bedresting…Brad, i miss the sound of your annoying blowdry early in the morning….Mushu, I miss watching you sleep complete with your backpack, shoes and folder. Biggy, I miss the night you defended me (hihihi!).

Nevertheless, I hate Manila!!!! Not because i feel homesick being away from Cebu but because I found a home in that chaotic world…it brings back too many beautiful insane memories i hold close to my heart…I hate Manila!!!!
