dreaming with eyes wide open

Creck and I had a sleepover at Qevz's condo in Vito Cruz last Wednesday. And as always, it was the best moment ever being with these friends that I have known for ages. Creck and I always make it a point to meet up, one time or another, to catch up about the ins and outs in our lives, which was something that became routinary ever since we were in Baguio. And now that we are both working here in Manila, not to mention that Qevz is also here in Manila studying law, sleepovers had become a given. I dont know about the others, but we are just the type of friends that never gets enough of our nonstop conversations no matter how often we see each other. There is just always something to talk about, always someone to gossip about, and something to laugh about! Sometimes we even thought that other people mess up and do bad/malicious/x-rated/immoral/ things just so they can give us something to talk about when we meet up! (pardon us for being mafeeling sometimes ;) Even the most routinary hours become eventful when we're together. No dead-airs. No awkward moments. Nothing else beyond happiness.

These are my friends whom I've had since high-school. And mushy, but we've been to soo soo many things together. The laugh-out-loud moments and the reaching-rock-bottom parts of our lives have witnessed how we stood by one another, always a step behind to light up each others faces by the way the "sweet" (or not) way we mock each others lives. That's how tame we are as friends! We are just destined to point and laugh at one another's faces with our misadventures and are also made to cover one another's asses during trouble (and when I say trouble, I really mean it BIG).

And this week's sleepover was sort of different because we felt how furious time went by. And we came to miss a certain friend whom we havent seen for quite a while now. It sad but we just thought that we cant do a thing, it is a person's choice to stick around or drive away, right? If that person chooses to let go and move on without us, we have no choice but to respect that. As of now, I havent moved on completely yet. I still try to hold on, hoping that someday, things will get a little better. Its sad to lose a friend completely, especially a friend whom you never imagined could forget you that easy, that fast. But sure, let's just leave it all to fate. Maybe i'm right, that things could get better and will eventually bring back to the way we were, just like what we see on movies. I really hope so.

Hey, enough of the melodrama, because we still have millions of things to be happy for. Havent I said before that we are just "happy people"? We are the kind of friends who finds happiness in the most trivial thing there is. We went to MOA last wednesday, and Creck treated us at CBTL for iced mocha fraps. It was fortunate for us to have somewhere to go to because we arrived there at 11pm so most of the stores were already closed. And boy! Was I overwhelmed! Creck and Qevz were convincing me to save up for our "out-of-the-country" trip! haha. They were telling me that I only needed to save up for three months, only a few thousands because they promised to pay for the few bucks left, both of them knowin how "kuripot" I truly am ever since I started working. They were planning to go to macao and then hongkong for four days, actually the plan was already laid out even before they informed me, knowing again, how NEGA I am about things. They were bugging me to apply for a passport, so Qevz can start to book for our trip. Honestly, I really feel that the plan is over the top but I am also loving the idea! Who wouldnt want to go for a vacation, right? Especially if it involves having to board a plane and go out of the country! It will be a lot of fun, of course. The idea of the three of us in Macao and Hong Kong is heaven, and I can almost imagine how nice that would feel and sound! But, I still have some doubts about it. First of all, I dont have money yet. I mean, I may have money but I just cant let go of it just for four days of pleasure. Imagine how hard you have to work just to pay for some hours of travel. But they also told me that they know too well how kuripot I am with thaings but they said that I should also learn to give myself a break. Sure, its true that all of us need some time off but I am still having second thoughts. But already excited about the idea about travelling with Crecky and Qevzie. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Creck is planning to work abroad. And she's already halfway through the requirements needed to work in Spain. And Qevz? He's also telling us that he might go to Australia to study there, since Milka, his sister is already in Australia and his family is planning to migrate. It was actually dinnertime, before going to MOA, that we talked about our future plans. And by some mixup of emotions, Creck started to wipe her tears because of the idea that we may have to have our separate ways next year. Yes, did she really get tears roll down her face! Actually she wasnt really crying because when we saw her teary-eyed, we all started to laugh real hard! It was just funny because it wasnt even a molodramatic moment, not that we can ever imagine. She was furious why the hell did her eyes start to wet and Qevz and I couldnt contain our laughter seeing Creck wipe her tears! We ended up laughing our heads off knowing all along how emotional Creck has always been, even at dinnertime eating our favorite kare-kare! Creck is just unbelievable, and that's what we all like about her - how drastic her emotions shift and how she makes us laugh to death without even trying. =)

And after the laughter subsided, after we devoured our all time favorite kare-kare, I also told them that by age of 25, I am planning to go abroad as well. That's something that the three of us share, we are just daydreamers. We just love to talk about our future, about what we will become ten years from now. And as of this point the "it" word is Abroad. Haha. Its funny because four years ago we werent the biggest fans of going abroad. But now, we had a shift in status quo. And we are promising to work our asses to achieve our dreams. I am, especially.
