Missing Voltes V

How swiftly time passes.
i was browsing through voltes v's friendster account and i suddenly saw myself walking back through memory lanes. Napakadami na pala talaga ang napagdaanan ng aming barkada. Haayy…

Nagsimula ang lahat nung summer ng 2003. pare-pareho kami ng schedule noon although we were not classmates naman. We came from two separate groups. The first one was zippy(ako yun), vannie, and phi( ang grupong gumigimik after math classes (kahit Monday!) ) and the second group was gil, ken and zippy ( the forever groupmates in all filipino and cs projects). Yun, pag nagyayaya kami mag lunch along katipunan, walang ibang sumasama kundi kaming 5 lang. since half day lang naman kasi ang schedule ng most of our blockmates, they’d rather go home na lang and eat there to save money. Hanggang hindi na namin napansin na we are comfortable na sa isa’t isa.

1st sem ng second year college namin. Lalo pa kami naging bonded dahil sa isang sentence na sinulat ng physics professor naming sa board nang sinermonan nya kami. “Familiarity breeds contempt!” at pinatayo nya ang voltes team sa class. Pagkatapos nun, hindi ko na alam kung ano ang nangyari. It seems that there was an inevitable force na nasa gitna naming at tila hindi na kami mapaghiwalay. Parang centrifugal at centripetal force. Lagi na kami magkakasama. Pinagsasabay namin mga schedule namin. Magkakagrupo na kami lagi sa mga projects. Isa na talaga kaming team.

Madami pa kami pinagdaanan. Mga tampuhan. Shakeys, kick me, close to tears, kabag sa ulo. Mga out of towns. EK, Lipa, Subic. Endless movies and food trips. Naovercut pa nga ako sa modern jazz dahil dyan.

And now, I miss them. I really do. Minsan na lang kami nagkikita-kita at nagkakausap. Nasa magkakaibang companies na kami. 3 sa canon, 1 sa globe, at ako sa HP. Madalas pag may birthdays na lang kami nagkakasama. wala na yung tipong pag trip lang, gigimmik na. pero kahit ganun, we all know that we remain to be good friends.
