It is Good to be Reunited

My childhood friends are someone I have known since my childhood (that’s why it’s used to call a childhood). Our friendship goes back to the time when were very young. They’re name are Chok, Niko, Ericka, Diane, Bulay, Toyang, Ginalyn, Ace, Dessa, Dharlo, Joyce and JenJen and they lived a couple of blocks from my house. We had a lot in common, and we spent time together after school days and during the weekends.

I remembered many of my favorite hobbies were because of they’re influence. I learned to play the street games so called “patintero”, “agawan base”, “syato” and lot more from them. That was back in the year 2000? (I can’t remember exactly the year). Now you know how old I am. That is right, the years have gone by and even today as I sit here typing on my computer, and I still have the good memories with them. It was a memory that changed my life and I thank them because they were the one who taught me how to play the street games that many kids nowadays don’t know how to play those outdoor games and of course they also taught me on how to socialize in various people.

Weekends, we would go over to each other's house and play lots of games and talk with our studies and teasing each other with one another to be exact.  As I think about those days now, I never fail to relish its splendor. The days of innocence, never again to be revisited. However, at times when I look at my brother who is ten years old now, I could almost see him enacting some of the things I did in the past.

My childhood friends has no longer in contact with me. We have lost contact since we went on to separate schools. Do I miss the now? Yes, I do. I had wanted to get in touch with them, and possibly all of them but they are no where to be found. I mean, it is hard to set a date because of our schedules. I heard some of us are creating now their own family, while some of us are still in the stage of dreaming on creating it and while some of us are in the battle of education arena. It will be nice to know how everyone is doing.

And last night came when Diane enters her new phase of her life her debut. We are all invited. I meet again my childhood friends though we are not complete. We started to talk our different lives on how it is and when I’ve heard them talking some vices. And I didn’t expect that all of us are now drinking alcoholic beverages. It only shows that the shades of innocents faded away.We have a better understanding in life.While I’m with them many thoughts running through my mind--thoughts that’s saying that it is great to have them back--thoughts that it could be the start of re-establishing our lost friendships.
