My Comfort Zone

After almost five months, us girls will be hanging out again. There’s a new place in town and that’s where we are going tonight. We still don’t know what to expect at this new hang-out spot but we will be painting the town red for sure and will have fun until we don’t know when. It’s one of the girls birthday tomorrow so we’re going to have the celebration tonight and stay until midnight, and most likely beyond, to welcome in her birthday.

My dress is ready as well as my super stylish mbt shoes. One of my friends reminded me not to forget my digital camera. But of course! The party would not be complete without getting snap shots for remembrance.

I can’t wait to see the girls and party the night away!!!

My girlfriends since college have been planning a get-together for a while now but it’s always postponed because of unavoidable things like one is going somewhere, or the other one is busy with work, or the other one is having the drama of her life (hehe), etc. Our schedule just won’t meet up when in fact there’s only three of us. My other friend kind of gave up actually and told me that we’ll just go by ourselves, only the two of us.

Maybe if I’ll get tired of waiting, then it will just be the two of us but I’ve been raring to see that friend of ours too. We seldom see each other because she’s busy with her business and other stuff. The get-together that we’re planning is supposed to be her late birthday bash as well as a birthday bash for the other one, and perhaps, an advanced birthday bash for me too. Hehe. So as much as possible, I want the three of us to be together. We may never do it again soon since we don’t know what the future holds.

I hope we get to be together this week or next week. Maybe I will just keep my fingers crossed yet again! (“,)

An addition to the family is coming soon to my friend’s house; she’s pregnant with her second baby. I am so excited for her. Her eldest is already in high school, and that’s how they planned it. They wanted to focus on their first child before having another one which is a good thing to do given the problems we face in this dog-eat-dog world. She’s even acquired term life insurance for the whole family. I’ve always admired her maturity and planning when it comes to her life. And she never goes wrong with it. She’s happy and having a successful life with her family. Way to go, girl!

My friend Charlotte who I’ve known since high school days sent me a private message on Facebook yesterday informing me that she’s now two weeks pregnant with her second child. She added that I am the first to know. Wow! Isn’t that sweet? I was really surprised by such a sweet gesture. We haven’t seen each other for years because she’s now living in a different city that is a thousand miles away from me. We only keep in touch online but not that often because we’re both busy with our lives; that is why that message really came as a surprise.

I am so happy for her and I can’t wait to see her baby, even if only in pictures when the time comes. That is unless she will pay her hometown a visit and come to see me. I replied to her message with best wishes greetings and congratulations. I also told her to take care of herself and not to forget to take plenty of prenatal vitamins which will keep her healthy and benefit her baby. I do hope I can see her soon. Well, we never know. Surprises come when we least expect them.

I was busy looking for some boy’s apparel in the kid’s section at the mall yesterday when I felt somebody nudge me from behind. I was surprised to see that it was my classmate Ruth from grade school. She’s still the same as I remember her: quite shy and soft spoken. But one thing that has changed is that she’s not the same skinny Ruth that I remember. She’s gained a lot of weight. And I was so surprised to find that she’s still single. No offense meant, but I really thought she had given birth due to the shape her body was in.

We talked for a while and she couldn’t hide her jealousy towards me because, as per her, I looked more like a single woman than her when in fact I’ve already given birth to Yogi. She even asked if I’m into exercise or if I am using a certain fitness equipment to have kept my body in such good shape. We both laughed when I told her none of the above. I just told her that I watch my diet and told her to watch hers too and we laughed again.

It was nice seeing her once again. I’m hoping to see more of my grade school classmates soon. I hope, I hope!

I know for certain that I am not the only individual who have issues with friends. But it didn’t occur to me that a blogging buddy is having the same sentiment as mine. It was our topic for days and though it was only done online, still it was a relief on my part to have talked to somebody who definitely knows what I’m going through.

I am the type who would rather keep mum about certain things at times that’s why I just blogged about it. Little did I know that that would lead to something wonderful. Wonderful in the sense that I was able to share it with a friend who truly understand it all.

Thanks a lot, buddy. You know who you are. (“,)
