The newest networking site that’s sweeping the Globe is FACEBOOK and needless to say, I am an instant Fan. A highly interactive site, FACEBOOK has mega tons of applications allowing users to send each other Starbucks, Chanel / Hermes gift items, cigarettes, booze, growing gifts, hatching eggs, play all sorts of games, from the tweetum ones like Word Twist to the brazen ones like Mob Wars. I know someone who is heavy into playing this game that he would get vicious verbal attacks from Facebook users in other countries. I myself got into car racing (Petrol Head) and have also become a blood thirsty Vampire (Vampire Temptress).

Anyway, apart from all of these, it was just great being able to reconnect with my old college friends again AND guess what? Yup, got reconnected with my old college BF, JT. He’s married now with kids. He admitted feeling a millisecond of hesitance before accepting my invite because he felt awkward. “Ah duh”, I emailed back. What was awkward for me was when his mom asked me to attend the birthday party of his older brother who still wasn’t married. Being the old JT that I know, his idea of a reunion is for everyone to watch the next UAAP game live at the Araneta.
Outside of Facebook, life goes on quietly. Anton smiles a lot now, claps his hands and makes all sorts of baby babble that makes him so adorable. TB, on the other hand, has finally realized that being friends is doing me more harm than good ( I can’t stop being sarcastic with him and rude and insensitive and mean), so he gave up…angrily if I may suspect. He can’t give me what I need and he can’t force me to give him what he wants. Its better this way. No more hurtful words from my end.
I just thought of something very morbid which is, if TB dies, do I go to Cebu and pay my last respects? I didn’t attend M’s wake when he passed away but that was an entirely different case. Thinking along this line, I don’t think I will go when that time comes. Doesn’t make sense to go see somebody when they’re already gone. I’ll just go to Tagaytay , trace our DelaSalle museum trip all they way to Nurture Spa and grieve for him there coz Tagaytay is where our friendship started…. all prior to the return of his prodigal girlfriend.
Its sad. He really means a lot me.
Anyway, Anton’s birthday is coming up soon. My little guy is turning a year old. A milestone in both our lives that I look forward to.
