some things to blog about ..

i wrote this a month ago.. i know it's a bit late to post but i will anyway...

friends come and go... but true friends remain and stay...

last week, i have been contemplating on letting go of a friendship i had grown so attached with. i've been having some issues with a friend for quite a while now. issues that seem to resurface every now and then.. i guess, we both are. you see, we're close.. and that seems to be the problem..familiarity breeds contempt, thats what people say. and that may be true for us.

for a while, we're not talking and then we'll talk suddenly without even discussing what happened. its ok, the fist time. its ok, the second time. its even ok the third time.. but the fourth time, its hell. its like small matters become big stuffs. its tiring. so, i've decided to let go. BUT, its kinda different letting go of a friend than a boyfriend. and i found myself between letting go and holding on.

a few days ago, my friends decided that they need to prepare something for me. it is my birthday today. and they wanted to surprise me. and surprise i was. for everyone's invited. though some we're not able to make it to the big party ever! did i just say partee?!?! there were online invites, cake, decors, singing, lotsa food and friends. the kapuso, kapamilya and kapitbahay were all there.

the party was organized by my housemates. who then contacted all my friends. maybe not all because they dont know all of them. but they tried i guess. everyone brought something, aside from the gifts ofcourse.

what's funny though was that all along i had a hint that they were trying to do something. they asked where will i be on that date and not to do anything. they asked me to hear mass with them so i wont be around at the time that the guests were arriving.

they told me that there will be a party at the house. that some officemates of one of my housemates will be there 'coz they wanted to see the house and swim. that's their reasons why they are preparing lotsa food. but now i know, they cant hide so many things from me hehe i even helped them chopped the veges, clean the house and even went with them to the grocery haha

well, aside from the occasional whispers i caught them.. it gave them away i guess. after the church, some of my friends were also at the bus stop going to house. they hopped off the bus, same stop as ours. my housemate decided that we have to make a stop at the nearest grocery while the others didn't come with us. when we arrived home, i've noticed that all the lights were off.. how could that possibly be when all the others went ahead of us.. something's fishy.. i knew then that there really was a party.

i went inside, turned on the lights.. and surprise surprise! the others were there too.. i didnt expect that so many people. i expected that all the close friends will be there, but officemates, na-da.. so, i was.. surprised after all!

i lurrve all the gifts by the way! and of course the efforts :)
