i know he reads but he doesn’t leave comments or even tell me about what i write. he did tell me though that blogs are supposed to be short. i guess i have so many things to say, ton.
he’s one of my best friends. although we went to the same school, we didn’t know each other until we found ourselves as officemates in the company which we consider now as “the lost dream”. at first i thought he’s mayabang. you know… that typical rich and gwapo braggart but then he didn’t brag about anything. i just thought he was unapproachable. well, what can i do? they all knew each other and i was the only girl and the only non-techie person in that office. they too find me very suplada because i never talked to them and i was very contented doing my own stuff. it was a good thing he initiated in inviting me for lunch or coffee because it paved way for us to really know each other well. i know his preference when it comes to girls. he liked it when i go out for my biweekly grocery shopping for our office because he knew i will tolerate all that he picks for himself and not for the whole office. when he says coffee na tayo, that would mean synchronized movement to figaro or starbucks and that would also mean talking about pretty girls, dreaming, orchestrating some conspiracy theories about our situation in the office and a lot of backbiting. i couldn’t remember though if we got to talk about boys.teka, lugi ako dun ah. our trips to dswd, camp crame and wherever else were really time for us to talk about our lovelives and about almost anything else (including my crush to a certain varsity player in our school. LOL!) of course it was non-negotiable when we decided to have our tables placed side by side during the time the big boss chose to have a bigger office.
when i went to manila just this month we went out for a date. no, not that romantic date… just two friends catching up with each other. we both brought our cameras hoping that we will be able to bond again by taking some pictures since we are both into it already. as usual, we ate, had coffee, talked and listened. he showed me his compilation of pictures and we hopped around several shops to look for a suitable bag for his laptop and camera which i actually enjoyed because i couldn’t believe how mindblowing the prices are of bags nowadays. in short, i had a great time with him.
i just realized this. he always has time for me. he always makes it a point to text back, call or answer back in YM whenever i need him. he never ever gave me some headache or heartache about the advices he gives me and oftentimes shows a certain point or view in a such a way that i will be able to think about it but never feel bad about it. i don’t know if he feels obliged or just can’t say no to me but i do appreciate the fact that he tolerates me when i vent and when i do that, he actually listens. don’t you ever get tired or me, ton? actually, i don’t want to know the answer. it’s mainly because i want to stick to the idea that he is a very good friend to me and i hope i am to him also. reasons and rationalizations are beyond me. i just know that i appreciate the friendship more than anything else.
so to you, ton, thank you for being such a good friend to me. see you soon… of course, with our cameras again and never ending kulitan.
PS
girls, take note. gwapo yan. hehehe!
