..The beginning

It was in the fourth year of high school were teenage hormones are driving our minds and hearts crazy.Each had different drama, each had different personality, and each had different lives. We were like varied elements who suddenly collided to survive.
and with our 'bond' we became 'one' and we became individually 'whole'. We went through a lot, a whole lot. There were the times we laugh at non sense, cry til our eyes our soar and we even shouted at another in times we were deaf to reality.
We dealt with one another's craziness and boy it was tough adjusting. I was the 'I don't want to be hugged and hard core lost boyish girl'.Matz was the ' the I don't have a boyfriend 'dilemma'.Nymph was 'the all smile and bungisngis buddy(hehe)'. Mit'z was the ' brownies hand sanitizer girl of the man of the sea'.Alex was 'the wounded from a downfall who wanted to be tricked by the phoenix boys and trapped by the dm'. Fahad is ' the ever responsible abused by everyone'. It's actually amazing how we all got a long. We were too different from another but when when together, there is the 'spark' that will last forever.
We survived high school bur it was not the end of our journey together but it was the beginning of a more crazier 'us' in a crazier world. At first, we were complete with nypmh and I in the same place for two years. It was funny that among all of us we were the ones put in one college to think we didn't go along that well. You were a laughing machine!hahahahaah! but I discovered why she laughs always; there were many tears she kept inside and I saw those tears=) Mit'z was just near us, ever complaining of her EducEduc college,hehehe. There were two things you will see in her when you bump at her; her frown for going up and down educ and annex and ever glossing lip gloss(didun maribat c babo!haha!) on the other hand were Fahadear and lakambini Alex in one college. We were hoping there hearts will also be one but I guess not. After a sem, Alex was no where to be found. And I too isolated myself to everyone.My pagaria was starting one crazy adventure in nursing. at last, summer conflicts between her and alex with mitz ata? klaro tuloy parating wala..hehe..was solved. Mitz and I were walking and suddenly we saw Matz, walking alone(Am sure you dont remember thishehe) we called matz, hugged her and went to annex where we saw Alex. the best part was, they also hugged. it was all resolved by a hug.hehe..meanwhile I was having a problem with Nymph, I could not get along with because we were toooooo opposite. I was even thankful she was not classmate in most f my subjects(hehe) and then one day, I saw her. she got my arm and would not let me go! tawa lang ng tawa telling me she would not let go because she missed me.. and my hard heart surrendered(hehe). it was a start of an inseparable two years journey. By the near end of the first year, we all got busy. Fahad was no where to be seen, Mitz, surviving from being drwon in the man of the sea, Nymph...mga pangyayari sa infotech kong saan nagsimula ang lahat,Matz was brain broken for the failing grade sa math 2 b un? hehe..Alex was traveling..dumating na sa bohol..and I..I was bearing the stupid ridicules momo saga..urgh! It was the start of a super complicated life for everyone.

How did the second year start? Nymph and I were battling our boredom in our 102 and we were literally together everyday, sometimes even weekends! So she was like my shadow and I was her shadow. We were always together people started saying we look alike. We even experienced being asked: are you cousins? Are you sisters? And we were like, are you serious?! How could we look alike? Hehehe. But there things unveiled about Nymph. We thought she’s this laughing machine, all smile, and everything’s bright but we’re wrong. Behind all the buzzing mouth and loud laugh is a tearful person silent at home with no one to talk to and thus she talks all the time she could have outside because at home is an empty house but not empty home. She cries, cries for freedom, for space, for companions…so it’s not a surprise she is sooooooooo noisy I get soooooooo irritable at some times. (hehe) There are moments were she stares at the sky and sighs for it’s beauty and I stare at her reading the vastness of her mind. This was also the time of the Yo chronicle of he-whispered-i-love-you-I-wish-I-whispered back,hehe together with the- eeeeeeeeew text message-mitz-and-alex-sogud- drama,haha! As for Mitz, after finally swimming back from the man of the sea, a lot of shyokos run after her! Including of course the famous shrek! Haha! She even drank more than a gallon of water at the honeyz while, dramatically and frantically, narrating us ‘How could I deserve him????’ Everyone should have seen her. After drinking a lot of water, she puts out her life savoir lip gloss and fabulously slides in her lip while saying “could you imagine”(oh yeah we could!)hahaha. Her wannabe fiancées from so young to so old! Hanep talaga effect ng lip gloss! Ahahaha…Is this the time of Fahad finding Sarah but letting go of mama? Hahaha..I think they call each other nay and tay right? So, Alex, how did you feel? (Oo na! we’re just friends!)hehe. There was also this time were Fahad reserved us a seat in the gym, ey before we arrived, who’s with him?Syempwe…hahaha..Mitz and I even read the txt message “ sabihin mu lang if babalik ka dito seat mu para paalisin ko ung umupo” ey din na samin humiwalay si Fahad..awwww…*_*hehe..And so, no more and nay and tay and Alex got her chance which she ,as always, slipped away(Tsheee) hehe. Icey, on the other hand, is receiving txt messages from…sa third year kuwento p un..hehe..We rarely see each other actually; the only thing I know is that she is busy with her community services and her disastrous Math 2. As for me, I avoided annex. Why? Secret! Hehehehe..because I was secretly confused with the best-friend-turned-suitor-turned-boyfriend-of-another ache. I know most of you saw what I was going through although, for the first time, I kept silent.(hehe)So no need to talk of the details kasi silent nga! Hehehe. As the second sem arrives, problems of different variety aroused. And it was the end of ‘mohir being complete’. Nymph and I failed in accounting. She also started to walk away from the Yo chronicle and I struggled in my am-I-falling-to-my-best friend-telltale. Most of us ended the second year with a struggling heart and so we also began the third year with a heavier heart. I was a body of confusion and frustration. I shifted in the English department not knowing what I really want to do and I had such a hard time adjusting with such different people. I was living in Pluto.(hehe)

Its 12:04 A.M and I have just finished my narrative report. I scan through my files and noticed my last blog. Gee, it’s been long since I posted in the blog. I got crazily busy, and I know so as everyone. I look at the time and remembered that I have a 7:00 A.M class with my novel major. I should be sleeping now, but I cant help typing in this keyboard,hehe. I guess. This is just how it is when it is the people you love you write about.

So, continuing the saga… after three years, something unexpected but expected happened. Before summer, we already know that nymph is transferring in Xavier. It was honestly painful but it’s her career she’s trying to save and we can’t stop that. The enrollment was nearing and we thought we will only be suffering one loss. I guess we were wrong, secretly; Mitz was completing her university clearance which I unexpectedly found out. Days before that, I was thinking: I could never imagine my remaining years in college without Nymph and Mitz. Well, without Nymph would mean silence (hehe) but without Mitz? I actually thought, perhaps it would be better if she and I would be somehow separated, why? Because I had developed this emotional dependency on her and I have to learn not to be with her because (reality check) it’s not forever she’ll be here. There’s a need for me to grow and part of that growing is erasing from my system being emotionally dependent. But then, I didn’t know what I was talking about. When I discovered she was leaving, I did not know what to say…all us here don’t know what words should come out of us. And so enrollment came with a huge change. I enrolled in the department, full of confusions and pent up emotions. Matz was picking her pieces for failing in her major too. Fahad was crazily busy and Alex was also hysterical of the ‘leaving us suddenly’. I must say, it was my toughest sem, I have never ever felt so alone in my life even though, naturally, I am a loner. Everyone was happy and noisy and I could not jive in. I was in Pluto with aliens! So, we had a new class—mohir class. It’s 10:00-11:30 at taytay, I was always late, Alex was the early bird and Fahad was no where to be seen,hehehe. And honeslty, it was hard getting over with the fact that Nymph and Mitz were not here. The pain we felt was to the extent that we will never talk to the two(drama!haha!) it was actually a defense, a defense from breaking down. Surprisingly, at 6 in the evening, someone knocked on our door looking for me. Unexpectedly, it was mitz with her peace offering: A BOX OF PIZZA! And I thought I would never talk to her, but the minute she hugged me…the pain was gone, this is my friend, my best friend for that matter. How could I not forgive her? On the other hand, Alex could not get over it. She’s still mad even after the two visited her (grabe so drama niyan! Haha!) Anyway, forward-------aside from the dramas, there were surprising catastrophes? Haha! Revelations,I mean. Mat’z was scared telling me about Jovan—her boyfriend! Mitz and Owak are together! And Nymph lived in PBB with Bruce and later on, nangapitbahay sa Bangon! Hehehee…I myself was also sooooo confused with..ahemm,you know who(hehe). Us here could not accept Owa, surprised of some…whoa revelations from Nymph and Mats was…going see saw with Jovan, breaking and making up. (Hehe) Fahad? One word: BUSY. (hehe) there were so many heresies about Mitz and Owak but then I kept my mouth shut. I don’t know what I was waiting for, but for the first time, I did not talk. And then a more earth shaking news arrived, how on earth did Ram found Nymph? I was damn worried and blurted out all bad descriptions from my vocabulary to stop her but I was too late. And then I realized; why am I bothering other people’s lives? It there’s and not mine. Anyway, I could not stop them from doing what they wanted. And from that day on, with Mitz-Owak, Nymph-Ram,Matz-Jovan,and Alex- Tashbik( which she did not listen to me when I warned her), I promised to myself to quit, resign, and retire from my career—an adviser. I guess it was time that I listen and advise my self and arrange my own life. And I was glad I made that move because I started growing up.

And so, the semester ended. I was faced with my super-duper nerve and brain wracking proposal, Fahad was in his exciting and scary practicum, matz was in her major, and Alex was no where to be found. But the best thing about the summer? I talked to Owa and I am (honestly and truly) happy for them. I guess our third year in college brought many things: changes. There are changes in our perspectives, beliefs, and personalities. It was part of maturity, of being independent. Looking back, (first and second year) we were no longer those persons. It is our step, a step towards the reality of our fourth year. (To be continued).
