memoirs

“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. i’ll always be with you.”

Up until now I am trying to get use to the idea that I won’t be seeing much of her as often as I used to. Aina is right, I am a bit suffering from “Separation Anxiety”. Sheila is my best buddy in the office. We play the same role as Team Supervisors, sat back to back, eat together, take our breaks together, go home together and well.. a lot of things we do together. I remember the first time I saw her when I first visited chat support day before my official transfer to chat. She was then already handling team and me still an agent. I visited Rona (our other BFF) and I immediately noticed her. She didn’t make the best impression to me as I find her annoyingly noisy! LoL! I even said to Rona “Is that your Team Captain? her noise is irritating!” hahahahha! not knowing that one day, the noisy girl I find annoying would become my closest friend! So first impression does not always last.

I can’t really recall when we started liking each other. We just clicked! We both like fashion, we both love pink, we both love bags and shoes, shopping…We argue when there is a need for us to, not afraid to voice out our thoughts and we know how to deal even to the least likable person! hahaaha! plastic ba? LoL! nahhh! just being sociable. Whenever we’re both tired of what we do, we just look at each other and say “kapoy na kaayo dai” ..but we both know we need to keep going…having each other in the office really helped in lifting each other’s morale despite all the turmoil we’ve been.

Then one day, she announced, she’s getting married! Of course I was so happy and thrilled for her! We share another 1 thing in common again…The men of our lives have a lot of things in common too! and our favorite, is them always giving in to our demands! hahahaha! we are just so amused talking about it…but of course we love them. I know she’s going to marry this great man whom I’m sure will love and take care of her. On the other hand I was a little sad because she declared she will have to leave immediately so to spend time with Joseph while preparing for the wedding. Thank God that didn’t push through so soon! That was November of 2008. Actually, transferring to Manila has been an issue to her as she is scared to start anew and of course worried in finding friends. I was one of those people who consistently encourage her to push through and move to Manila with her future husband despite me getting sad on the thought of losing my best buddy (at least just the physical presence). I’m glad she’s one pickle- minded girl and ended up staying in the office until the wedding! hehehehe..that gave us more time to bond.

Now after a year, all the wedding preparations are almost ready and the time for her to leave our workplace for 4 years. I’ve been telling her I’ll be alone…of course I still have my other friends in the office whom I know makes a good company … but our bonding is just different. Last November 10 was her last day. I’m glad I was not there! .

Now, I feel so alone in our shared bay. I always forget to eat (she’s always the one who gets hungry first! hehehehe.. peculiar she’s way slim and I’m wayyyyyyyyy overrrrr there in weight!). … Well, I’ll get by one day…it’s just a matter of getting used to it I guess. I am just happy seeing her so excited for her wedding. I will miss her yes! but I am more of happy for her. Oh by the way! I’m her Matron of Honor! .. I’m excited already too for my friend’s sosyalan na wedding as we call it! We’ll share pictures!!
