The Girls & The Grown Ups (?)

Friends have a wonderful way to let each other get by with whatever has to be gotten over with.

Back in college, we were so much suffocated with schoolworks, org activities, barkada issues, and what love life? Hah! Good thing we had each other. Better thing there were lots of videoke bars around the area. Best thing we could simply agree to just sing our madness out!

Everyone’s missing the we-are-all-housemates season (2009-2010). We could just spend a whole long night talking about guys, girls, who’s with whom, who broke up with whom, who had a one night stand with whom, who’s preggy, gitchi gitchi yaya dada; or kill noontime free hours drinking – yes, alcohol. Oh, and we also killed mornings fighting over who was to get a shower first, because nobody wanted to get her ass off the bed. Duh, that universal dilemma. 😀

But the same old barkada we are, minus K’s patootie hairs (short hair strands always sticking out of her do) and O’s long hair. 😀

Everyone’s catching up! We meet up in some places around the metro, sit over lunch, coffee, and frappe. And beer. And there, the stories roll again.
