Saturday Buddy

I had just meet up with my best buddy after a long time. Well technically, he just return from Brussels.

We met up a Robinsons Galleria, where we have our lunch (well his treat thou) at Pizza Hut Bistro. As always, he order his favourite putanesca (oh, if only I know how to make putanesca, I'll make some for him), and beefy pizza. After eating, he ask me to tour him around the mall (thou nothing change much to this mall since he left 3 years ago). Then he ask for a coffee shop. Since the only coffee shop (I know) on the mall is Starbucks, then I invite him there.

He doesn't like the ambiance of the shop inside the mall, so he asked if there's another Starbucks around the vicinity of Ortigas.

So, we just moved to another Starbucks shop I know---at Pearl Drive. And he likes it. There, we continue the conversation we had during our lunch.

He told me he loved Brussels, how he promised that someday he'll bring me there to visit a certain spot called Mini Europe where you can see a museum-like collections of different tourist spot in Europe. How he miss Philippines, and he plans to pursue a bachelors degree in Ateneo.

It was fun... I had so much fun... thou at some point, something bothers me...

My feeling I might say...

I'm afraid it might ruin our more than years of friendship...

I'm afraid to loose him...

Disappointed

You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were...

I never pretended to be somebody else. It's been me all along, and it was me who was hurt in front of everybody. I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are. I was, but I'm not anymore... and the thing is, I really don't care what people think about me... because I believe in myself.

And I know that things are gonna be okay.

I know that the guy I once knew is somewhere inside of you, but I can't wait for him... because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought. Useless and disappointing...
