growing
after a year of being with my group of friends, my barkada, it seems that we're growing. i don't know if we're growing apart or becoming even closer.
well there's what we call the core group : me, wanggo, paolo and anne, plus mike, charles, japs, ger. and the even bigger barkada : rj, sofy, ayet, and others that we don't get to see as often.
it all began for me when i was going through a breakup, paolo took me under his wing. we worked together and then we started going out a lot. then wanggo became the writer of our show and we started hanging out.
anne came into the picture when we all tried to form an events group. the event was good, but we didn't make any money. so scrap that idea!
then pao, anne and i went to boracay for holy week '04. at the same time mike, charles, rommel & leila were there. they knew pao and pao introduced us to their group. and we all clicked and had a great holy week.
since then numerous people have come in and out of the group. the only major fight that happened was holy week '05 between me and pao. i'd like to think it was just a major misunderstanding plus some other things. but i'd accept it also as a build up on pao's part, for a year of putting up with me. ;-) never seen him that mad. before with a guy named eric, but that guy really had an attitude problem.
between me and the others, asaran lang. short term stuff. hmm are things the same as it was last year? in a way yes, coz we're all still going out. clubbing, dinner, movies.
how are we different? well now all of us actually have a job (except for charles & japs, they're still in school.) but do we have the money to burn? NO!!! but we can still manage to go out and enjoy ourselves.
we're close, but not close to each other in the same way. like anne & i have a certain bond coz we're the only girls in the group! but i haven't seen anne lately coz success with work means less of a social life. wangs & pao are close coz they consider themselves as best friends. mike & i are close now coz we're the ones that are able to go out during the week.
i guess the dynamic now is different...and a bit scary. coz change is hard. oh well. at least we all have work to turn to to make things bearable. in the sense that we can allow ourselves to become distracted with work. and of course, with this group, i think we'll remain friends for a long time.
