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.

it’s official! i am now a part of the Cebu Bloggers Society!!! yippee!

my friends Mikyu and Aimee have been members for almost two years now. it was actually them who introduced me to the group and i had no intentions of applying until recently.

i didn’t really consider myself as “CBS material”. i mean… i’m still just a newbie and i blog for fun. i don’t even make money out of it! i know nothing about SEO and tweaking codes still drives me mad! tsk! but i’m willing to learn, of course. and now that i’ll be constantly surrounded by all these “big time bloggers”, i’m keeping my fingers crossed that their skills will somehow rub off on me. hihihi

some of the CBS members… i already know, since i’ve covered a couple of events with them. they’re really friendly and i’m looking forward to meeting all the rest.

to the Cebu Bloggers Society, thank you so much for welcoming me, along with the other new members! it’s such an honor to be part of this society. i hope i can contribute to the best of my abilities and help “Promote Cebu Through Blogs”. aja!
