FLASHBACK
I was busy playing some hip app in my phone when it suddenly vibrated saying I have a notification from my Twitter account.
As I saw in my phone's status bar, the tweet came from Jade. But because of my phone's quick responses, hindi ko nakita kung ano talaga yung tweet nya.
I immediately opened the app and checked my notifications. At nagulat ako sa tweet niya.
@lameojadeo: @alteeyaa @sanyalolo are you cheating on me Althea?
My jaw slightly dropped in amusement.
Dali-dali kong nirefresh to see kung whatever tweet did she reply to.
@alteeyaa: @sanyalolo ily
(a/n: abbreviation ng "I love you" sa mga hindi nakakaalam)
And I don't know, pero napangiti ako. Napangiti ako knowing that she might be jealous sa closeness din namin ni Sanya.
Well Jade and I are online friends, we met here on Twitter. We found out that we almost share the same interests, at kahit hindi man, we can always find ways to bond effortlessly. We're literally strangers before we met, but eka nga ni Tumblr, online friends are better than real life friends. Well minsan oo, minsan hindi, pero in my case, both.
Nagkakilala kami ni Jade years ago, siya in fact yung pinakauna kong online friend. Again, we immediately hit it off. And even though dumami na yung mga ibang online friends namin, we never forget each other. We're still how we are. Siya yung tipong kahit inamag na kami because we haven't been talking for a long time, but when we finally do, it's like nothing changed.
But we never personally met each other, goal din namin yan. Well it's because of location, she's from Manila and dito ako sa probinsiya namin. And we're still both young and dependent to travel that far, I'm 19 and she's 3 years younger than me.
So we basically communicate online.
Same goes with Sanya. Well, I met her way after Jade. And we became close online friends. Even though she's from London and is half Filipino plus the shitty timezones, we can still communicate. We became fast friends and it even blossomed nung hindi kami masyadong nag-uusap ni Jade, we have gotten to be really close. But it's clearly different with Jade's.
