From a lonely weekend my Saturday was a blast. My two friends from grade school came to the rescue by having dinner and coffee with me. Although I had class from 9 am until 5 pm and took the jam-packed MRT carrying 3 bags I didn't feel tired. I was just too excited about my night-out with Nikki and Recy. Nikki and I ate at Greens, my favorite vegetarian/organic restaurant. We talked about my JASMS visit with other grade school friends. She was envious and was very much looking forward to the next visit. I'm also looking forward to organizing our grand reunion in December.

Since we couldn't talk about him until Recy was there Nikki opted to hear stories about me and Aldrich being weird in grade school and close friends until college. I was surprised she didn't know what we went through in grade school. I ended up telling her those numerous stories of my first love. She was so entertained by my story telling. We laughed most of the time.

After a wonderful guilt-free meal we met up with Recy in Starbucks Katipunan for coffee and dessert. I was so thrilled to see Francis (formerly intarmed heart throb) walk into Starbucks. He was my ultimate crush in first year in college. I told Nikki and Recy that would nenok his used cup in McDonalds and his Math 17 bluebook. They said I was so-grade school to do. I agree. But its just so much fun stalking your biggest crush. Hehe. I've been introduced to Francis in college around 4 times. He even used remember my name and I was thrilled when he'd say hi and say my name. Nikki said he would look at me as if he recognizes me. Well…I think he could be looking at me but not because he recognizes me. I think its because he noticed me kinda staring at him. Hehe.

After some serious guy-crush-staring. I poured my heart out to them. Telling them about my recently terminated relationship. Before our meeting I thought that I'd end up crying in public. I was happy I didn't. I ended up laughing because they were making fun of me. They were sarcastically saying, grabe **** and supportive mo naman na GF. But they said it in such a funny way that I got the point that what I did was wrong. But at the same time I didn't get a sermon. They were so funny that we were all laughing hard and loud inside Starbucks. I had so much fun!

Recy told me a really interesting story. The previous night she went out with a couple of our high school friends from the Christian Fellowship. She told me that she was surprised to hear that my old high school crush was being teased about me. The others were teasing the guy that he used to flirt with me a lot. Recy was surprised too because she never noticed the guy flirting with me (ergo as if he liked me too) although of course she did notice that I was particularly fond of him. Hehe. Hmmm...so does that mean he could have possibly liked me back in high school? How I wish! Dreams are for free.

When I got home I was happy. I realized that my truest friends are there for me. Those people who I grew up with. Who needs a boyfriend right? Recy, Nikki and Peaches have been single all their lives and they are fine. Why should I long for a romantic kiss when I can have a hundred hugs!

I found a badminton buddy for Friday evenings. His name is Leo. A graduate from UP Manila who is now taking up medicine in UST. Precious recommended him to me. Now I have a badminton buddy and possibly a new friend.

I thank God for making things better.
