Memories & Feelings Unleashed….

Just a series of events (that I can remember) which led to a friendship that I treasure even if I don’t see you anymore.

• July 10,1991 -  We met casually at an interview. Sacred Heart Center. About 9 in the morning. MY THOUGHTS: Hmmmm… matangkad, maputi, kaya lang chinese at mukhang mayabang…bwahahahaha
• December 1991 -  Calls to and fro on the preparation that had to be made for the training we were to start taking January 1992. MY THOUGHTS: Kailangan talagang magtulungan para ma kumpleto ang mga dapat dalhin.
• January 12,1992 -  Start of training. Morning Star, Makati City. My dorm…RCG Dormitory. Your boarding house…along Reposo MY THOUGHTS: Buti nalang malapit bahay nila para makapagpaturo sa accounting na bobo ako.
• February to May 1992 -  study, study, study MY THOUGHTS: Hala pinasok natin ito..panindigan natin. Turuan mo ako ng accounting, ako bahala sa iyo sa cash.
• April 11,1992 - Las Brisas… ala recolletion of the whole class. Soul searching, sharing, playing, drinking, picture taking. You together with other classmates sat with me and helped me with bookkeeping. TALKING in the swing till 5 in the morning with my legs all covered with mosquito bites!!! MY THOUGHTS: Bait ng mga classmates kong bookkeepers… inupuan ako para matutor nila ako. (BFYI..i got sick with German measles so I missed the exam and they tutored me during our lunch break at Las brisas.) Nung gabi… hmmmm tutuong tao pala itong intsik na ito. Mabait naman. Iyakin din pala….oooopppssss
• April 18, 1992 - We had beer and pizza at Shakey’s Makati Ave. MY THOUGHTS: Ano ito? Continuation ng sharing namin sa Las Brisas? Ok na rin kasi pizza yata yan..
• May 7,1992 -  Graduation Day MY THOUGHTS: I made it!!! 100% kami. Pasado kami lahat sa training. Praise GOD!!!
• May 21,1992 - My assignment in Dumaguete. This started our endless communication thru telex. MY THOUGHTS: Ang gulo nitong intsik na ito pero okay din kasi may kausap ako. Little did I know that I would really need to talk to him and cry to him when my parents health worsened.
• June 1992 - Faculty Development Seminar MY THOUGHTS: Hayyy.. parati kaming magkikita kasi magiging speakers na kami sa mga seminars ng bank. Kulit raba…
• July to December 1992 - Endless talks, calls, trips, etc… My parents passed away and it was only him I could bare my soul to…cry to death and talk, talk, talk…. MY THOUGHTS: Cgurado ako butas ang bulsa nya nuon sa katatawag nya sa akin. But I appreciate all you’ve done just to hear me out and help me move on. I’ll never ever forget those times…
• 1993 -  your weekends in Cebu… our lakwatsa here and there. Crossing moviehouses.. 2 in an afternoon!!! Drives along the beach, sutukil, just staying home—hahaha.. you loved my brazo de mercedes…. talking till you leave monday dawn. Late 1993, I sort of made you stop coming to Cebu. Instead I made you go home more often. I am glad you did… MY THOUGHTS: Tigas kasi ng ulo mo. Buti nalang kaya kita..hahahaha yabang… seriously, I am glad you took my advice of going home and being with your mom.
• January 1994 -  Your mom passed away. I was the first one you called. MY THOUGHT: Ughhhh memories of losing someone came rushing back. But i’ll be here for you and I was….
• 1994-1996 - Your trips here to Cebu which was more often because of meetings, your weekends here, hanging around the malls, seeing movies together, drinking, dinners, cooking for you, your girlfriend (asan na kaya yun!!she sure did surprise me when she dropped by the branch), branch inaugurations, talking, a lot, lot, lot more…. MY THOUGHTS: I sure am glad to have found a friend in you.
• October 1996 - We went to Boracay. It was so much fun. You even laughed at me for using coconut oil as my tanning lotion BUT…. followed cause you saw how nice my color turned out. MY THOUGHTS: Thank you for respecting me and treating me as a friend and being my friend.
• 1997-1998 - Same same… weekends here in Cebu, meetings, seminars in Manila, our talks, drinking spree, driving to anywhere, arguments (talo ka most of the time kasi mali ka… hahaha), just walking along the streets, Holy Week in Cebu… Sometime 1998, things started to change. Your trips to Cebu lessend cause of distance… you were now back to Cotabato or Davao? MY THOUGHTS: La lang… friend talaga kita.

So many, many memories to talk about. So many secrets shared. For the past 6 years or so things changed because of the merger. Our sharings were thru text messages but we eventually got wrapped in our daily lives. We do have a lot to catch up on. Really a lot. When? I don’t really know. A lot of things have been happening to each of us. Happy, Sad, Exciting, Inspiring, Confusing…. really a lot. But I am sure that one of these days, we will just pick up from where we left off… How are you? How has life been treating you? HA,HA,HA,HA…. remember how people would tease us whenever they see us together? Wish lang nila… I had a good friend with me and I could not ask for anything more. Laban sila?

I may have never got the chance to tell you… But thank you, thank you, thank you for all those times we shared. I have indeed grown in our FRIENDSHIP and will always treasure that.
