Grown-ups

Seeing my old best buds today always reminds me of the most nostalgic period in my life, childhood! Years passed and things changed. We may not be the same best buds before, but we have kept the bonds until now.

There were eight of us in the group: Andrei, Lloyd, Jasson, Armando, Rhomend, Rey, Darel, and me. We had always tagged ourselves as some part of an anime show. We looked fresh and naive, but we thought older than our parents, troublesome but wise.

Playing with our pee was always our past time everytime our teacher asked us to throw the garbage at the back of our classroom. None of us got any nanny during those times which gave us more space and time to explore some stuffs…. and picked fights against our schoolmates. Luckily, we always won. We traded cards with the other kids, cheated for more cards, and picked a lot of fights for those Pokemon cards!

We had invented several games that burnt the dull moments. I was always the subject of shaggy dog stories! When we played, it was always me who got last, who lost, who carelessly got injured, and who always missed the most terrible adventures!

We grew up recollecting the most memorable events of the past, continuing to explore and reinvent ourselves. Some of us studied in different schools after elementary but still made the time to gather once in a while. After high school, we pursued to different universities and careers and got separated. Darel transferred somewhere after our 5th grade. Though keeping contact with him, we rarely saw him during our reunions. Rey went untraceable after high school, and Lloyd stopped schooling after his 1st year in college flunked. Whatever there are in store for us, we still continue to reunite and gather the memories of the past that helped us grew of what make us today. We still keep the bonds for keepsake. =D
