Exams, Reunions and Weird Stuffs in Between
I've spent half of my life with these people and I suppose that is enough justification why getting them out of my system would kill me. I fooled around, laughed, cried, and dreamed with them for too long a time to simply just ignore or forget them.
After graduating high school, we traveled different paths. Mine brought me to UP, away from my comfort zone. Once in a while we get together and I really enjoy spending time with them. It makes me remember those times we had together. This year I had 2 opportunities to bond with them again. Thank God for the board exams! haha. Recently they took their exams here in Iloilo and we decided to celebrate after finishing their exams.
First came the CPA board exam. We never really got to see each other during their review stint here in the city so out of nowhere we decided to hang out after their exams. We had lunch and believe me, the people in the restaurant were witness to just how noisy we can get. Nica was arguing to three future accountants and an engineer about her change. Haha. And I swear she wouldn't shut her mouth until she got it and we had to explain the same thing to her over and over again. We were technically arguing about it inside the restaurant until we decided to settle it outside.
Then came the nursing board exam. I was a bit in a tight schedule but I just felt like making time for them. Perhaps, I just miss them that much. We had dinner together and I;m not really sure if going to Smallville to drink coffee at Coffeebreak will count as a night out.
When we get together we always seem to have the same topic. A topic I never feel awkward talking with them. Actually I find it weird why talking about it with them seems so natural and easy as to compared to my college friends. Perhaps it was a topic that always pop out in our high school days and now we find discussing it as something normal. haha.
It just amazing how far we can be from each other and how much time had passed by but nothing changed, well except our age or bodies perhaps. Being with them is just so easy and fun. I just hope we won't change especially now that we are in a new era in our lives. I just hope that someday we could all sit down together and laugh about our past and talk about any topic we can think of.
