Cut-Off?

I was never the party goer type when I was in college. Well, I do hang-out with my friends. Lunch at Eastwood, dinner somewhere in Timog, a couple of drinking sessions, etc. I never did ended-up with the bowling or badminton crowd. I'm with the "pasaway" kids. Study hard party harder right? There were times that i was unable to come with them. I live and always lived here in cavite so sometimes, i rather stay at home than travel for 1.5 hours just to meet them up in QC. That rarely happens.

Graduation came. From our group, only 5 of us graduated on time. Arlene is now working at Unilever, Taty at HP, Sel at P&G Puerto Rico, PB at Accenture, and I'm here at Intel. The rest is still finishing-up their studies.

The time i graduated, i felt that i lost them. They rarely texted me to hangout. On times they did, i was really unavailable. The last time I saw them was at the IEC Homecoming. Then we lost touch. Iwas supposed to meet them during Bulabugan 2005 but I was in the US. I asked them if they'll come to the vice night party but almost everyone had commitments scheduled.

I was reading Taty and Jen's blog. They still meet up with the rest of the gang. Except for Juvi and Arlene, all of them were doing frisbees weekly, hang-out every now and then, party at least once a month.

I remember feeling this way when i graduated from highschool. I never saw for years. I only saw my highschool friends when someone's coming home from the US, or someone already had a kid of their own.

What I miss right now are my college friends. Ayaw ko naman mag-isip na di nila talaga ako ka-tropa, but there are a lot of questions in my head. Maybe I envy Taty. She lives in QC so maybe that's the reason why she still sees the CHONGS. I think they haven't forgotten me at all, since my sister told me that Ius was asking abot me, i received an SMS from Mond asking for some MP3s, they respond to my emails. But i miss seeing them, and having fun with them.

I miss the chongs. I never had this group of pasaway friends that will soon save the world against the "early-dismissal-villains." I'm just wondering why was i left behind. Yun lang, na-mi-miss ko lang sila. It's different when I hang-out with my friends and co-workers here at intel. We watch a movie, eat dinner, have some drinks, get some coffee and that was it. Unlike with the chongs, there's music, dancing, bashing to the max and FUN has a totally different definition.

I miss how I used to define FUN when i was in college. Do i have to move-on since I'm working?

Julie and Ius will be celebrating their anniversary on Friday, taty and Jen's birthday will be on October. Juvi's birthday is on the last week of october. I hope that there's a party somewhere in which i'll be invited.
