Bruthas Fo LyF

In some sort of unfashionable rhetoric and rants or what have you, my mind has started to pause back again into a state of hemorrhagic rewind. Well, in a pretty natural kind of way though.

MB, Ry, Tzard, Mike and I met up last Sunday night in Araneta Cubao. After a year of almost non-presence to each other, alas, we got a chance to catch up again on things that we have been missing about each other, basically, EACH OTHER. Living with these people in one house and almost being together for that whole college stretch was really worth it. Even after a small period of time after graduation we still couldn’t and wouldn’t leave Baguio city, and we were still seeing each other everyday. Of course, Mike wasn’t really there then after since he had already transferred to Tugegarao but even after he left, when he came to visit it would always feel like he had never left at all. It felt like he always had an imaginary key to open the apartment we used to rent. But in reality he doesn’t really need a key since he can just kick the door open then and let himself in the house even in the wee hours of the night without waking us all up. I guess what I'm trying to say is, we had always treated each other like we'll never really go far from each other and somehow it still felt like it.

Though we are really never there for each other during birthdays, special occasions or whatever, and at some point you feel bad about it, you feel guilty too but then when you finally get together, you forget these small things that tick you off somehow and just enjoy each others company.

We get to make fun of each other, talk about funny times in college, keep track of our own current events and share our misfortunes, and pride about each other.

I paused once somehow, around that five or six hour night we shared, and thought that friends are souls who will keep you grounded throughout your crazy journey. They will always be there to remind you that even though life treats you bad, these people have actually treated you worst, but still you have always stuck around with them and everything still looks fine.
