YES! to all..
My… It has been 4 years since I stepped into this tagalog soil called "Manila". It all started with just a 3-month assignment and who would expect that i would still be here after 4 years, settled down and working in the place called "Makati". It was indeed a long story of career decisions..
I was deleting "aged" messages in Friendster and i realized that i missed my friends back in cebu.. Ninya for one was a good coffee buddy.. and then there was Mongsy, for the marketing strategy and lifestyle discussions over clear bottles of san mig light in ayala.. and my "kuya" , for the "drunken master" sessions of "anything goes" kind of discussion.. and oooppss.. dont forget my bro, who would go out on gimiks with my in the city.. but in danao, we were two different individuals.. and who would forget Morse.. for the sacrifices of sleepy wee hours of morning but yet, making sure that I arrive home safe.. well, eventually, we got together and tied the knot so i have him here with me.. but i also miss our good old days when we go out for coffee "spotlight", TJ’s brown bottles and whathaveyou..
the list goes on and on… there were even "let’s morning the night" beach parties and the simple lazy sundays at home with momdad and bro.. and ooppss.. dont forget nana… she, who washes my clothes, prepares my morning meal and gives me a good soothing massage that makes me doze off to dreamland.. my…
simple joys… and did i mention the Red Horse and Colt 45 group? hahahaha.. now, that was funny and memorable.. i wonder if those places still exist.. for sure, billiards are not that famous as it was before.. and that place at the back of tongyang.. and the one near ayala.. hehe.. i know that things will never be the same again.. we have all gone separate ways.. individual lives and well, for sure all of us has kept the beautiful memories of friendship.. Walay kwarta, pero lingaw.. hehehehe…
now, i am staring outside my window.. with a good view of manila bay and part of makati from ny 21st floor bedroom window.. seems like the surroundings is in a lul… of course, coz it’s midnight! am i sleepy? am i tired? do i miss home? do i miss my friends? do i miss cebu?
my answer? YES to all… but this is life for now.. CEBU, wait till i come back..
