swell

have you heard of the saying 'all swell that ends well'? hahaha
i guess too many times huh... well ako rin, as a matter of fact, hindi ako naniniwala sa kasabihan na yan, in my opinion kase, once a situation became really worst and especially pag nasira na ang friendship, wala na akong nakikitang dahilan para makipagayos or even talk to that person...

but i was wrong... almost 9years ago, i had a dear friend who was once really close to my heart, he's one of the people that i think i wont be able to forget for the rest of my life, masasabi kong malaki ang naging parte nya sa buhay at pagkatao ko... we've been really good friends, laging masaya mga trip namen noon, kahit puro kagaguhan nadin minsan.

i thought we would stay that way, but of course, there are things that na beyond our control, so eventually nagkaroon kame ng altercation, then it went to a fight, and all of a sudden yung magandang samahan na i thought would really last, nawala nalang bigla.

i remember, after na mangyari ang mga bagay na yun, everytime we would bump into each other, it seems like hindi kame magkakilala, walang pansinan, walang imikan, kahit magtinginan, Wala!...

since we belong to the same Barkada, our friends we're trying to fix things for us, pero of course, ma-pride kame pareho, so walang nangyayari, nasayang lang lahat ng efforts ng friends namen na pagbatiin kami ulit.

8 years had past, wala kameng naging balita sa isat-isa, aside from those things na naririnig namen from our friends....

late last year, i recieved a text message from one of our friends, saying, 'uy mag-get together naman tayong magkakaibigan, its been a long time na din since we saw each other, let's catch-up!'... without hesitation, i said 'yes'

syempre naman, namiss ko na din ang inuman at lahat ng kulitan kasama sila, unbeknownst to me, Kim will be joining us on that day... a few hours before meeting my friends, i was still at the office, when i recieved a call coming from a number not registered in my phonebook... bumulaga sakin ang 'hello Mickoy, kamusta naman'?

at that very moment, i knew whom that voice was coming from, sya na nga yun... si Kim, suddenly, parang katulad nalang ulit ng dati yung takbo ng conversation namen, he said 'o anung time ka pupunta? bilisan mo ha! san ba magkikita-kita?'

i remember, i was very excited to meet, not only the Gang, but of course him.. not because of any other reason, but because, after i ended our phone conversation, naalala kong birthday nya a few days back, and i want to greet him personally...

natapos ang gabing yun ng masaya, bumalik lang ulit kame sa pagkabata na parang walang nagyari, at hindi kame naghiwa-hiwalay. medyo matindi ang gabing yun, madami kaming napagusapan, and at the same time, nakapag-sorry na kame sa lahat ng mga dapat naming ika-Sorry...

after that night, medyo nawala ulit ang communication namen, pare-pareho kase kaming busy, and no matter how hard we tried to fix our schedules for us to meet again, hindi nangyayari,...

until tonight,... i was browsing through old pictures that ive uploaded in my Facebook account, when suddenly, naisipan kong mang-usisa ng status ng mga friends ko at magcomment na rin.

incidentally, Kim was also logged-in and just updated his status... ni-like ko ang status nya not knowing that he would comment on that,.. a few minutes after, on my notifications, i saw he commented on his own status...he said 'ayos mike, musta na?'... i said 'ayus naman' and then dun na nagsimula ang mahaba naming conversation ulit tungkol sa kung anu-ano lang, just like the way it used to be...

nakakatuwang isipin na kahit na maraming nangyari, maraming gulo, we managed to keep the friendship kahit papano... of course, i would not expect us to be as close as we used to but then its really nice to know that i still have a friend in him, and him, in me...for sure...

To you Kim...


thank you, this post is solely dedicated to you and to the friendship youve shared to me.... maraming maraming salamat =)
