People Come, People Go

In our lifetime there is this never ending loop that we all walk through and one best example is change. We can't break that line whether it brings us luck or makes our situation worse. It is one circumstance that we have no choice but to endure until we surpass the squawk induced whatever it takes. Hindi ko talaga naiintindihan ang sinulat kong yan pero sa pakiramdam ko ay pinagdadaanan ko sya ngayon, intensely. Naaalala nyo pa ba ang super friends ko? All of us are about to trip along craggy road only this time we have our own tracks to follow.

Like the cartoon heroes called super friends, meron din kaming kapangyarihang taglay. Ako, kaya kong umutot in a span of two minutes, non-stop. Done it even while sleeping and it's just so gross. Bilis makabawas ng barkada. Si Tere (aka Pia), kaya nyang imanipulate ang isip ng isang lalaki na ma-inlove sa kanya kahit na walang kakayahang ma-inlove ang taong yon sa taong gaya nya. I can prove it with documents and testimonials. Si Nelson, kaya nyang maging babae kahit mukha syang lalake - no make-up required. At si Richard, kaya nyang magpautang kahit one million pesos with only real friendship required. Naks!

Kidding aside, ang tinutukoy kong kapangyarihan ay 'yung tatag namin. I mean endurance. The quality or power of withstanding hardship or stress. Continuation and persistence. 'Yung tipong kaya makipag-sex bente-kwatro oras hanggang matuyuan ng pawis but in the end you still have a happy face. It is when you overcome the real tests from gaining genuine friendship. A power I can consider equally as a blessing not everyone is destined to have.

It's been more than five years since we all gave birth to our friendship here abroad. Para kaming buntis sa hirap ng mga dinanas namin habang nabubuo ang friendship na 'yon. Mahirap mawalay sa pamilya kaya't mahirap mawalay sa kanila dahil sila ang pamilya ko dito. Malulungkot ulit ako. Made-depress until I run-out of sex-appeal. Mawawalan ng drive to pursue my dream of becoming a sensation of whatever trash pursuit I have. Hindi pa man ako sikat, buwag na ang possible fan club ko. Ganun? Actually, hindi kailangan ng anumang uri ng ''kapangyarihan'' para malampasan ang pagdadaanan naming ito. All we need is a complete understanding to accept that this change is normal all people have to go through even though we are more than ordinary people. Hindi naman dahil almost perfect kami ay hindi na kami kailangan dumanas ng changes sa buhay. We also have to go out of our comfort zones and inspire other poeple. We chose and adapted to these changes with huge amount of considerations. We ought to breathe reality even if it sucks. We are all grown-ups and each of us needs room for privacy. Not because I love them, I have to stay with them until we no longer grow as individuals. I don't mean why we are going through this is because we are on a dormant stage of endless, same-ol same-ol, routinal and meaningless prank jokes and quagmire. The judge calls for the order and this is just the time.  We know that this day will come and now that it is finally here, we will all come prepared for it. Or am I?

I may not see you guys as often as the sun,
In my heart and in my mind you'll never be gone.
When things go wrong, you know where to run,
I'll wait for you in the same friendship stand.
