Impromptu Reunion...

November 23, 2008

Qizia Resto over at SDS, somewhere in Marikina

Da Batch '87 Suspects: Jet, Dave, Nan, Cardo, Erick, Gee, and Yours Truly

Came across one of my highschool buddies online by accident. Just a couple of days later did I get to join them for dinner at this remote resto behind the local hospital near my house. Apparently its a regular thing and I've been missing out. First thing they tell me the minute they saw me was a unanimous "Where da heck have you been these past couple of years?!". Guess that pretty much sums up their reactions.

I'm a little bit at a loss for words and was very much on listen mode after being out of the loop for too long a time. Dave just got married, Jet and Cardo are HUGE, Erick's back on contract leave from Dubai, Nan's still an archi professor in UST and Gee's also married and expanded his business last time we hooked up.

High school memories hit me like this big wave. Almost forgot how it felt like being with these guys. Good times.

How More Pathetic Can It Get?...

It's been close to a two-month hiatus from blogging. Not really a forced thing. Still got to go online, lurk at a few forums of choice, but not inspired to write anything. In fact, this post has been on my drafts for close to another two months. Still find inspiration wanting.

So maybe to get things started here's a message to certain people that maybe will help kickstart my creative juices in the wrong direction:

To C.G.,

Moth to a flame...
Why come to my life just now?
Why do you torment me?
Why?
I just hate why circumstances are turned around to make it look like I play the role of the asshole here.
Schizophrenia to the WTF level indeed.

To D.P.,

Why should you look like a former love of mine?
Too bad you chose that we meet at such circumstance.
But a friend I shall remain.

2 Strikes. Here's the pitch.

To T.R.

You're so young. I can only advise you up to a point.
I hope you find your happiness. How I sometimes wish that I have a part in it.
You said you want to be upfront and not involve others into whatever we discuss whether it's at work or personal life. Then why involve C.G. into all this? Or worse yet, everybody else?

End of Rant.

A friend of mine once told me that there's a common denominator to all three. Try to reserve a little love for yourself, for these people will still take you for granted. Or something like that. That's been the story of my life, what can I say?
