And so it goes...

Have you ever heard of The Outfield with "Your Love"? It sounds like acid wash denims, shoulder pads and fingerless gloves does it? More like Purdey and the late Princess Diana's haircuts, nothing but large and large updos. Neither was I definitely trying to remember cheating a girlfriend ok.

Well, not that I'm trying to reminisce "your" time then (hey, I was 4 when the song was released ok so i couldn't be that sure), I guess for me there was something to look back though. It wasn't really like the 80's which you thought, but more of the A Veneto at Glorietta 3 (thanks Fren). It was November 2008, I was facing Fren and realized I was about to leave what i got used to. We sat there with our ordered pizza when it sinked in, yeah, I'll be moving out of Manila. This is it, I was resigning. I was resigning from my work, from Makati district and from the EDSA busy road.

And so it goes...they played the song.

I knew I was going to miss her; our siomai-rice lunch at Henlin, red ribbon brownies, the mini-stop chickens, our movies with Lyn, office chikas with Joshua, office and "luv" blues with PA. Oh yes, she was there to listen to my corny jokes, even on my most un-intriguing stories. She saw me down and up, and preferred to stay.

I was leaving Manila for a 3-hour trip, and that was Tarlac permanently. It made me ask myself all the more if I was really sure of leaving or will it be worth it exchanging all that I cared in Manila. I thought I was going downhill, but I was spared as long as Fren and I saw each other when I go Manila.

This post (my first post) is for Fren. She is the very reason why I'm making this blog,thus will be one of the ways that will keep ourselves open to each other. You see, she's leaving for Singapore this month and I know I'll miss her more, more than when I left for Tarlac.

Here's for a good life-cheers!!!
