Tin, Carol and Me

After a decade, I finally had an emotional reunion of sorts last saturday night with Tin and Carol, my two long time bestfriends from my elementary days. Before I arrived at Bo's coffee glorietta, my whole body was so tense and cold, not because of the rainy weather thats enveloping the whole metropolis. I was a lil bit apprehensive and nervous because this was the first time that I would face them as the new "me". Alas! all my fears were gone the moment I saw my girl friends. You know what? The feeling was like we only just meet up the other day. I did get comfortable quickly with their company as the minutes goes by. Eventhough our time that evening was so limited we tried to basically cover the important aspects of our colofrul lives in that one significant meeting. We only had a short but very meaningful and juicy conversation. While we were sitting at the coffee shop I looked at them and felt how I truly miss them. We were not communicating or going out together regularly like with my other friends through the years but yet you can feel the aura of closeness and warmness that clearly emanated from the three of us. I was so really at ease and didnt have such a hard time in sharing my ultimate inner feelings with them. Well, even our paths were vastly different or sometimes journeyed the rough roads throughout our existence after graduating in elementary, we've all been very lucky that we met at that fateful day in 1989 and to have each other in this lifetime. I admit that my relationship with Tin and Carol back in the day was my first ever taste of how to have an authentic lasting friendship that will shape me as a better person and as a true bestfriend at this very moment. Without them I am nothing.
