hs reunion

this was taken later in the night. this is in nipa hut, still.

perpetually recovering from the night before....

THAT. WAS. THE. FUNNEST. NIGHT. EVER.

SERIOUSLY.

i went there a skeptic and went home a changed woman. i never thought i'd ever have that much fun. at least, not with the same set of people that i think doesn't even care if i existed. guess i was wrong.

eventhough barely 30 of us came (from a group of more than 200) that was more than enough to have MAJOR fun. at the end of the day, with only 10 of us left, we bid goodbyes with hugs, kisses and smiles on our faces and renewed friendships in our hearts.

first stop was nipa hut, ortigas. it was fun, yeah. seeing familiar faces, exchanging hi's and hello's even if we barely knew some of our batchmates' names. i never thought i'd say this, but something in it was calming.

after downing a few buckets of beer (excluding me, of course. everyone knows i don't drink. im boring like that. sue me.), the 13 of us left decided that we all didn't wanna go home just yet and we'll just transfer cos nipa hut's already closing. it was 1:30 am.second stop was the fort. pier one to be exact. somebody suggested embassy but then not everyone had the budget for it. for the working people, that's ok but there were still some of us who were still studying or just graduated and are bums. so yeah. pier one it is. 6 cars. 13 people. how crazy can that get? VERY.

we planned on going there on a convoy. yep. the convoy that never was. first should've been sam but after nipa hut we never saw him again, or his beemer, until pier one. my hs friends are crazy drivers! 3 cars were left, i was in one. and those 3 cars, not really a perfect combination. nobody was really sure of how to get to the fort from ortigas but yeah. we found it.

13 crazy people, 12 of which with alcohols in their systems, and one just plain deranged (ehem..ehem.). we made a really boisterous bunch! and an ecclectic mix, at that. the class president (slash school hearthrob), the CAT officers, the class clown, the prettiest girl, the outcast, and a few commoners (ehem.). how more weird can that get? never in my wildest dreams have i ever imagined that this group of people would be in one long table, talking, laughing, bonding. pier one was where the real fun started.

it was here that we really bonded. talked. one group, a million things to talk about. and boy did we talk about it all! anything and everything. old flames (to sam, "kamusta naman si rosette?"), teachers, events, issues...you name it, we talked about it. one of us to dwight and raison..."sir, ano ba talaga ibig sabihin ng sabay-sabaw?" follow-up question, "eh sir, yung pusang allowance?" every funny moment ends in a toast with somebody singing happy birthday in the background. hahaha. crazy. pero eto ang winner, elizalde goes, "eto ung naaalala ko talaga. nung cheering nung elementary nagtuturo si ms. taruc. sabi nya, "pag kumanta kayo, dapat may feelings. ganito. ---- in his best impersonation of ms. taruc--- ooh..chinggawa... ooh-ooh chingga-chinggawa!" ahahahaha. my goodness! elementary pa yun! the chants were really funny though. never really meant anything but that time we thought it was.... something. hehehe.

after a few more hours, a case and a half of beer downed (a glass of iced tea for me. :P) i thought that'd be the end. oh boy was i wrong! sam invited people still to formula in tomas morato for one last round of alkies. everyone was game, well not really everyone--three had to go, but the 10 people left headed off to formula. twas 4:00am.

formula was....i can't even explain it. by then i was wasted. the light effects didn't help at all. but hey, it was fun still. a bottle of tequila, a few more beers, a few more cocktails, half-naked women.... can you imagine how fun that was for the guys? it would've been for me too, if i WAS a lesbo. hahaha. by the time we all decided to get home, the sun was already high in all its sunshiny glory.

got home 6:30 in the morning.

i still remember the days when we all of us still donned our uniforms, just chilling under the trees or the side of the canteen or gym, worrying about modules and achievement tests. but things are different now. heck, it was a surprise that almost everyone's wearing polo's (the guys at least.) giving the oh-my-gahd-we're-old-and-working-wth?! atmosphere. im glad that even after seven freakin' long years we still haven't lost that special bond. definitely worth the wait.

emo much?

so to kate, chris, dwight, angel, alex, dabu, dingdong, elizalde, irineo, raison, alec, and sam:i'm not sure if any of you guys would get to read this but i just wanna thank, thank, THANK you for that fantabulous evening ('til morn? :P). the most fun i've had in years. we SHOULD do that more often.


*******
you just made me want you even more.

i'm already selling myself short and you still ain't buying.

is it too much to ask for you to at least consider me as a human being?


*******
put me in the defects bin, along with the dented can of tuna and that crummy cheap-o bag, and i bet i'll feel just right at home. :(

it's ok. i get it. i can get a clue. it just hurts that you have to slap it right smack on my face.

telling me subtle-ly (is that even a word?) could've done it. it will hurt bad but at least i've heard it from you and i won't have to second-guess. but leaving me without anything to hold on to, or at least words to know for sure what you feel and leaving me hanging, that just puts me to the lowest of the low. it's sad that you think i don't deserve at least a teeny tiny bit of your time. i'd like to think that you're not like everyone else and that i've found a really wonderful friend in you but this thing that's happening right here, just negates everything.

it's sad. it's making me really sad. and it just makes it more obvious that i'm living a sad life. i can't even keep a friend. :(



*******
i'll be fine.
it's not the first.
just like last time...
BUT A LITTLE WORSE. :(

and i thought YOU were something else.


geeez.



*******
come on.
MAKE MY DAY.

just a thought....

are guys really THAT insensitive or are YOU just indifferent?
