I've always been warned to not get attached to college friends. It's too risky!
They flunk a subject, they get held back.
They realize their "calling", they shift.
They get offered to become an artista, they don't come to school the next day. (joke saka na yun guyzzz)
They get a chance to live in greener pastures, and be with their families... what choice do we have. They fly away.
"Stick to your high school barkada."
This was the original game plan.
But we all eventually admitted that we needed someone there.
Someone to be with during the long two hour breaks.
Someone to be late with when two hours just ain't enough.
Someone to endure the stinky cats with.
Someone to BUZZ at 2 am, asking about the progress of his/her paper.
Someone to sit with at the back when terror professors are passing chalks and calling people sloppy.
Really.. Someone to just share this new world with. Sorry na, frosh kasi :)
Cue the entrance of college friends.
When did I start to call you BBB anyway?
And when did we grow to be Happy Everyday?
Probably when I realized that I have truly found friends in you.
And when I stopped denying that you're the people I want to be stuck with until we're hot young doctors who will save the world (after braving the quevadas este cadavers, of course).
"Stick to the people who have no choice but to be stuck with you too."
I guess that's the game plan now. :)
I really don't know who among us will stay.
But this is for all of you whom I tagged - life goes on.
People come and go, so don't make any promises for tomorrow.
Why do you have to, if you are happy enough today?
"If you are patient, if you have faith, you will know in your heart when the right time for promises has come.
And when that time arrives,
then you will see that you have both lost nothing by setting each other free,
and have instead gained a richer, fuller life,
a wealth of experiences,
and a stronger certainty of your desires.
But should they not return to you,
then life hasn't cheated you because no promises were broken.
Your bitterness will not last long,
and you will feel thankful and blessed that at the very least,
this beautiful soul has colored your life."
Bading, akala ko pang ex-boyfriend lang yan. Naloka me.
MAE BABY - I dread the first day of school that we'll realize that you're REALLY not gonna be there anymore. One less Sun subscriber to call when I'm lost, and one less person to save a seat for. But you - I'm excited for you in a way :) Sinabi ko na yun, teh. I'm excited for your world to expand. Puputi ka sa States! Makakahanap ka ng nigga boyfriend. PLEASE Ikaw na lang si Macy! Or MaeC (pang-popstar gago) You'll get to a good school and have a secured life. You'll meet people just like us, maybe even better :) MOST IMPORTANTLY, you will come back. We will scream! "GAGO MAE DOCTOR NA KAMI WASAP!" Tapos mashoshock ako.. "GAGO MAE BLONDE KA NA!!" Wahahahahahaha. Kaloka.
FOR THE REST OF US WHO WILL BE LEFT HERE IN THE THIRD WORLD - Life goes on. We will make more memories, and build stronger friendships. We'll course through each day knowing that someone will always be there :) We'll probably be forced to be really close, to the point na matatakot na tayo na mabawasan pa ulit. But that's no reason to be scared, divaah. May sinabi ako dati sa turnover speech ko gago quotable quote! "Every song ends, but that's no reason to not enjoy the music."
CHOS :)
Have a safe flight, Mae :)
You will always be part of BBB and Heggets. <3
