Blog of the Month Part 2 (February) - Things that Remind Me of my [Existing] TAF Friends

As a rather “silent” blunt and sometimes scathing person (which is probably one of the reasons why it took me a long time to find my own “click”), I count myself lucky that I have friends that are still with me all these years. They stubbornly kept in touch and kept me updated with the rest of our friends, stubbornly dragging me to parties and events that allowed the group to bond and update each other.

These friends I value more because of what I learned from them and for making me become a better person (I hope).

Eduardo – Well, for me he is the group’s leader. He usually organizes us and starts up parties and events that bond the group. He’s also sorta pushy and pressures us to do stuff…like this blog (hehehe). I also remember the “flying carpet” back in elementary(“,) And then there was the time, back in high school, when he made me a courier of his gifts and flowers. And then the time he sent an SMS while I was in the middle of the Agusan River riding a motorized banca telling me…secret!hehehehe!

Janice – I’ll always remember Janice as a really big basketball fan…Purefoods right? Her artistry has always impressed me and her patience and loyalty to her friends.

Junnah – What I remember most about Junnah is that she has a great voice and really nice hair (quite recently her glutathione biz). I also remember her being called as “lousy cadet” and “goody goody” coz she tends to say good things (bordering on lies or to put it nicely really, really stretching the truth) about stuff that if it was Eduardo or I commenting would have been really, really mean. And yeah, her vanity on her hair for me is…well, imagine (back in high school) walking from our THE classroom which is like a 100 or so meters to our PE class with an umbrella over her head and combing her hair.

Leah – I remember her for listening and sympathizing with me on certain things that have happened (remember my Nasipit experience with Janice A.?) And her good fine motor skills in our THE projects. Also she’s remarkable for her patience and diligence in transferring texts from a book to her notebook like word for word. I remembered I borrowed one of her notebooks to be checked as mine at one point in our high school career. hehehe!

Honey – I remember Honey for her agreeable personality. For me Honey seems to avoid conflicts of any sort. I also remember her and Janice’s crushes and their code names”,) Also that she gets easily affected by what other people say especially about her (like there was a time somebody thinks she’s not good enough to be in the choir) and she cries readily.

Sam – I remember Sam to be always, if not usually, surrounded by girls back in high school…I dunno why… may be because they already know he’s “safe.” I also remember studying at his house and being tutored by Ma’am Egam (remember our practice exam?) hehehe! Also I remember the times when he’d asked the driver of the motorized trisikad to drop me off first and go back to his place or he’d pick me up at home.

Kimberly – I’ll always remember Kim as somebody calm and collected. She rarely gets ruffled and I don’t remember Kim’s voice really raised in anger.

Ian – With Ian, I’ll remember him as somebody soft-spoken and kinda polished. I don’t remember seeing Ian angry. And we usually hangout at their place if not at Junnah’s. And yeah, I’ll always remember him as a Boy Scout.

Edelyn – I used to be “scared” of Edz (until now) coz am not sure if her sarcasm is just a joke or it’s the real thing. I remember her being at odds with my younger sister when we had a practice to my house.

Guy – I remember Guy for letting Eduardo go to his house (Guy’s house) to practice for a Values Ed presentation while the rest of the group including Guy are still in school.

I also want to say thank you TAF…for putting up with me and staying with me. Thank you for your patience and for believing in me.

Thank you dear friends(“,)

Anna
