i am such a big fan of my mom’s relationship with her college friends. even though they all have their own families, and one of them is currently residing in England, they still remain close and constantly keep in touch. they always manage to have reunions and catch up with everyone. we, their children, are truly amazed and inspired by their friendship through all these years.

because of my mom and her “barkada”, i’ve always believed in true friendship that will last even as we grow old, yet, we stay young at heart.

in high school, i have this circle of friends and we call ourselves the AKaBz… (the story behind the name is quite long. it involves our eating habits…and pigs. so i’m not gonna blab about it anymore.. hihi) we’ve been close since our sophomore year (HS) and i’m extremely proud that we still have that tight bond between us even after 8 years! considering our number (all in all, we are 17), you wouldn’t think that we would manage to preserve our friendship especially that we went to different colleges and one of us has been living in Ireland since our junior year (HS). got something in common with my mom’s friends huh?

this is just another proof that friendships can indeed last when you want them to. even some of our high school batch mates admire how tight we still are.
