Old Friends, New Friends

Medyo weird, but recently I am having some experience when I run into old friends (well, not really old pero medyo matagal na since huli kaming nagkita). Recently was when I saw Alina in the same building I am working at. Sabi nya she’s going to the gym (haha, antaba na kasi). Tapos there was this one time when I run into an old, old classmate from elementary. Though I can’t remember his name, I recognize him still. It’s fun seeing people like them and catching up on things about each other. And the invitation they extend that we should go out sometimes is really flattering, kahit alam kong medyo malabo pa mangyari yun. Tapos just a couple of nights ago, kinulit ako ng baby ko to finally upload photos from our drinking session kina Jimboy at yung photos from Aileen’s first kid’s first birthday sa Flickr account ko. It just brings back those happy days na hindi hassle yung everyday life because of work and all kinds of shit. Nakakawala ng pagod sometimes kasi naaalala ko yung kakulitan at kagaguhan namin in the past.

Though I’m still happy because of new people I meet along the way. Just like now after meeting a bunch of cool people sa aking new work. Hopefully, I can also build a nice friendship with all, or at least some, of them. And maybe learn a thing or two along the way.

Sabi nga nila, people come and people go. Pero for me, once I get to know someone, they stick. Especially if they make an impact in my life.
