"Your grade school friends will most likely be your friends till high school. But, your college friends? They'll be your friends for life." - a classmate from high school once wrote that on our classroom blackboard (we were graduating from high school in a few months)
True enough.
I miss my college friends!
Man, they're part of who I am and who I've become. And these friends I know I'll have till the end of time. Things may be different now, we've gone our separate ways, living our own lives, but it's amazing how their names are so etched in my life, I can't seem to shake them off my life. Hahaha!
Oh, I miss you guys. Too much it hurts. But reminiscing about our old college days always brings such a bright smile to my face, and the hurt just fades away. That's when I remember every memory we shared, every laughter, every fight along the way, every trip out, every every every beautiful memory we've created...

GREAT NEWS: Tasyo (aka Ritch Patrick) and Sassy (aka Anansa Katrina) just got hitched! The first official couple from the gang who have tied the knot, finally after 8 years of togetherness! If I remember correctly, these two lovebirds started going out around the second semester of freshman year. They've been inseparable ever since - well, technically not quite for the past two years when Sasa moved to the USA. Sooo happy for you guys!

Thursday night last week (April 17) was definitely a night of reuniting and reminiscing with old college friends - many of whom I haven't seen in a gazillion years! It was such a fun night of catching up on each other's lives and lives of other people we know, too! It was also bickering night, much time was spent on picking on each other, making fun of each other's big tummy, of who gained weight and whatnot.
All in all, it felt GOOOOD being reunited with those guys with whom I've shared not just photocopied notes, meals, or answers during exams with, but more so, we shared all those glorious years of amazing friendship, filled with so much laughter, tears, conversations, joys, sorrows, ups, downs, and everything else that truly made college life one of the best, most unforgettable experiences ever.
Till the next reunion!
