Last month has been a busy month, aside from the holiday season, we were busy preparing for my bestfriend’s wedding. It was a day I really looked forward to. I’m hosting the reception and some people who live abroad went home for the occasion. Not to mention, few of the most important people in my life are taking time off to attend this wedding. January 4th ’08, a day before the wedding, my highschool friends, me and my hubby went up to Baguio (where the ceremony will take place). The rest of the entourage went up North a day earlier. The long drive was tiring but we had fun during our 6 hour road trip. As we chat along the way I realized that it’s been 13 years since we all became friends, and it felt really good knowing that there are people whom you know you can depend in a bind.
Two weeks later, 3 of my friends bid me goodbye. First to leave was Carlo, he’s an engineer in Dubai. The next day, it was Irizh, she and her family lives in Canada. Then the following day, Ate Shy left for the US. It was a sad week, I’m not sure if it’s just hormones or it’s just really sad that 3 of my friends are leaving and I’m not seeing them for years.
Today, I’m staring at our pictures. The pics from Irizh’s wedding, the pics from Bilog’s wedding, and the pics of the great time we had in Baguio. I’m missing them today that’s why I felt the urge to check the site where I uploaded our pictures. I even remember asking ate Shy during her despedida dinner while she snaps photos, “where are you going to put all those pics?” She just simply said “CD” Then I asked, “anong ginagawa mo sa mga CD?” She said, “andun lang sila sa bahay namin, nakatabi. Pero you know when the california wildfire happened last year, isa yun sa mga sinave ko. Yung mga appliances kasi makakabili ka ulet, pero yung mga pictures di na mauulit yun.” Now as I stare at these pictures, I feel a tinge of sadness knowing that these moments will never happen again, but then again I’m glad for at least it happened. I’m going to check our highschool pics next…
