It's boring to eat alone. [deep sigh] It is just early lunch time since I kinda wokeup early as well. And, since it is boring, I ordered another of my fave burger of all times! *_*

Oh. Hey! I told you I'll make kwento about my friends, right? Well, okay. Para masaya!

I have a lot of friends, actually. But only few are always 'there for me' at masasabing real friends. Uso naman ang ganyan sa panahon ngayon. Haha


I have four girl bestfriends. Joanne Ysabelle Chua,  Mary Jasmine Santos, Nina Antonette Santiago and Danna Mickaela Cruz. Mga lukaret sila. You already know Nina,but just as being Adrian's girlfriend and my friend. Right? I'll introduce her anyways.

Joanne is my childhood best friend. Syempre childhood nga, malamang we're neighbors. Diba? Tapos MJ, Nina and Danna are my high school bestfriends.

Of course they know each other! Best friends na nga kaming lima. Haha. We even call each other by initials!


Way back high school, MJ, Danna and I were 'barkada' talaga. Si Nina, she was a transferee nung 3rd year kami. So we got close to her in the late times already. But she got close to us naman obviously. N and J are classmates ngayong college. So that makes Joanne a BS Accountancy major, too. While M and D,  they are taking up Tourism. Got it?

Hindi sa Yano nag-High School si Joanne. Pero kapag pumupunta sila sa amin, Joanne willl  come over as well. Ayun kaya naging close sila sa isa't-isa! Anyway, ayun lahat ng kabaliwan alam namin noon. Haha! The typical high school life. Yung tipong you're just starting to figure yourself out.

Ang bonding time namin nila Danna,MJ and Nina noon... kumaeeeeeen! Si J go lang ng go kasi maaga dismissal nun nung high schoo kaya nakakasama siya sa amin.

Hanggang ngayon naman yan pa din ang fave hobby ng barkada. As in, anywhere we are tapos magkakasama, for a whole day, mga tatlong resto lang naman. Ganon kami after uwian, but now kapag may chance na lang magkasama which is madalas naman. HAHA

As what other people say, sa isang group of friends, hindi mawawala ang iba't-ibang klase ng tao. May madaldal, may seryoso, may lukaret, may mabait, may maldita. Ganyan kami at alam kong alam niyong ako yung madaldal. HAHAHA!

Si Joanne...she is the lukaret type. Napaka-masayahin. Lahat ng bagay at situation nahahanapan niyan ng pagkakatuwaan. Kahit kapag magkakatext kami, damang dama ko yung gulo niya! Hyper palagi eh. Pero pagdating sa seryosong usapan, matino yan, promise!

Nina is the maldita one. Hoy ah ganon lang siya kapag napipikon, not interested, bad mood, or trip niya. But she is nice. Kasama din yan sa mga malakas ang trip lagi! She is the prettiest. Mabait yun mukha lang hindi. HAHA! She is most close kay Danna.

Si Danna naman ang 'serious friend'. Hindi kasing hyper namin ni Joanne yan. Masyadong GC (grade conscious) yun eh! De. Kala ko nga dati di ko yun maggiging close. Mukhang maldita kasi. Para bang laging sisigawan ka pag nakita mo. But she has a funny and jolly side!

MJ...the obedient girl. Magmamadre kasi talaga yan. Di ko alam bakit nagTourism  =.=

JOKE! Mabait yun. Yung definition nyo ng mabait, yung ganon. Yan ang aming kunsensya sa mga panahong sinasaniban kami ng spirit of katamaran and kalokohan. Syempre!!!

Ako nga kasi yung madaldal. Yun bang makwento. Partners in crime kami ni Joanne kaya kami bestfriends! Hahaha. Kasi, kapag trip namin mangulit, go lang kami.

There was one time, Joanne, Nina and I played a prank on the other two. It is actually J's idea! I think that was one summer break. We're in a beach house then. With MJ's parents.

"Sammy, lagyan naman natin ng excitement ang bakasyon natin!" - Joanne

"Anong excitement na naman yang naiisip mo? Hoy Ysabelle ha!" - Me

"Mga tipong maiinis sila sa tuwa! Hahahaha. Because I have a very awesone plan!" - J

"Ano bang balak mo? Make sure they'll be immersed  into it. Go ako! Ikaw, Sam?" - Nina

"Nina naman. Kinakabahan ako sa pagpayag mo. Lumalakas loob nitong si Joanne o. Tignan mo ngumingiti na mag-isa. Creepy!" 

"Ikaw naman. Ganyan naman lagi yan. I am still thinking nga if ipapa-admit na ba natin yan sa mental! [laughs]" - N

"Sige na sige na. Pumayag ka na Sam. Anyway wala ka namang magagawa. *bleh* Kasi, ganito..." -J

And she told the plan. At dahil lukaret din ako, go din ako. Kaysa ako ang mapagtripan. HAHAHA

That same day sa room...
"Sam, bakit di ata kayo nag-uusap ni Joanne?"  - MJ

I just shrugged and continue eating my chocolate. MJ then asked Nina..

"Hoy Saturnina... ano nangyari? Kayo magkakasama a while ago." - MJ

"MJ, wala nga. Busy lang ako kumaen."  - Me

And she keeps on asking Nina and keeps on calling her that name she loves to call her...

"Nina. Ano nga? Umayos ka. Bakit hindi naguusap yan?" - MJ

"You go and ask Joanne if you want. It's between them anyway." - N

And MJ, instead of asking J, went to tell Danna about it. Just how we thought she would do.

Then we made the plan into action...

When they both came back:

"Hoy Ysabelle! How dare you say that to Nina? You are the backstabber! Maybe you are the one who said that! I DID NOT?! [went near J]"  - Me

"Wow, Samantha! Just WOW!!! Don't you blame me for your own mistake. Not everything you want, you are gonna get. Hindi ganon! [got close to me as well]" - J

"You two! Enough?! Kanina pa kayo ha! Ano ba? THAT isn't an issue here. That was before. I told you it was all in the past so let us leave it there?! Gosh! You are gonna ruin your friendship just because of some old issue? Get a grip!!!" - N

While we are doing that, MJ and Danna were shocked. They just stood there. Siguro kasi ngayon lang nila kami nakitang nagtaasan ng boses and nearly been physical ni J.

So, Nina raised her eyebrow as our sign to stop already.


In 3, 2, 1...

"Gosh! That was tough! [apir kay N and J]"

We all laughed at the expression of the two.

"Ang hirap maging artista!" - N

"Wooh! Ang saya! Yan ang excitement!!!" - J

Danna and MJ got caught unprepared. Never expected that from us.

"Youuuuuu?!!!!! [narrowed her eyes] I nearly cried! What the heck!!! Joane Ysabelle Chuaaaaaaaa!!! [go and chases J]- D

As they are running around, MJ approached Nina and I. Sabay, binatukan kami!!!

"At talagang dinamayan nyo si Joanne sa kagagahan niya? Kayo talaga! That was a bad joke, but it's fine. Hmmm! Tara nga! [hugs N and Me]. Gagantihan namin kayo ng ganyan! HAHAHA" - M

"So ano, di kami kasama sa moment nyo?" - Danna and Joanne

"Ayy? Halika dali! [sumenyas na lumapit sila]- Me

And they came near and hug us.

The feeling of having bestfriends like them is great!


As I stopped recalling that moment, I am done eating, too. I smiled in remembering that scene. That was one good memory after all.

I left THE PATTY PALACE and will head back to Manila with a more relax and positive aura.
