dingdongs & reruns

(entry inspired by my senti mood because of the weather & my meet up with 2 sgv friends last friday)

just like the dingdong mixed nuts (simple peanuts, corniks, greenpeas, popped beans & the nagaraya sort of peanuts) which we like so much, me & my sgv friends are all different. different persons with different personalities brought together to make an amazing mix & share a lifetime friendship with each other. no doubt, we can all succeed on our own, but i know that together, we can become even bigger.

coming from different backgrounds (different schools & different blocks), we met at sgv a few years back. all new CPAs, all very young & idealistic. slowly we became friends, shared lunch together, coffee breaks, snack breaks, friday lunch out, OT at the office, drinks & midnight snacks. we shared endless stories, jokes, codes, rants & kalokohans. we shared a lot of laughter & tears.

now we're all living our own dreams, (most have already gone to different countries), but whenever we get the chance to talk (in person, through ym or emails), it's like no time or distance separates us. we are still the same crazy young CPAs we were before. we talk about everything (from serious stuffs to silly stuffs), updates on what's happening to each of us, & more often than not, we catch ourself reminiscing our time together.

i'm really proud to be their friend & proud of what they have all achieved & where they are now. i'll never trade that one year i shared with them--priceless memories. though it's been a short time, it's one year i'll really never forget & will always keep in my heart.

(...manong & his chocolate covered pulvoron. 3 in 1 coffee & instant noodles in the pantry. dingdong breaks. bananacue, turon & camotecue from the jolly jeep. kakanin during lunch. midnight taho breaks. friday lunch out. enchanted trip. starbucks, coffeebean & caffea. kroco & cocktails. bday celebrations together. tripeaks club. :( )

caught the rerun of home alone 2 in star movies yesterday. i didn't realize how much i like this movie until i watched it yesterday. there's something about it that brings me back to being a child. it reminds me of spending christmas holidays in my hometown, of decorating the christmas tree in our living room, opening presents & sharing laughter about silly stuffs with my parents & my sisters.

i'd be willing to trade anything to bring back those times...if only i could be a child again...life was so much simpler then...but i'm a big girl now...& big girls don't cry...
