The Best Years of My Life

A few days ago, I woke up with a hangover and sore feet though all the pain that I was feeling that time was all worth it, I must say. Went to my highschool friend’s farewell party and get together with my best high school buddies after fifteen long years though sometimes we bumped on each other’s shoulder on a supermarket or work but none of that would bring us back together until that day. There was no drama when we met but excitement and pure bliss of never-ending conversation about our lives in the past, family, who our new friends were, dreams, ‘sex’ life (because only Christina was the only one successful in relationship among us), and reminisced about our high school days.

The Best Years of My Life….

When I was in high school, I have six solid 'ordinary' bestfriends which is far different from every teenage girl you will see at that time. All the girls in our highschool at that time were too occupied about school, boys, latest trends, all women thingy as I may say etc. Except us. While all the classrooms were busy with their routine schedule, my girls and I were busy playing table tennis, hide-and-seek, pretending to be sick in the school’s clinic but then you will see the five of us chatting and giggling on the clicnic's bed.

After school, we never missed dropping by at the nearest ice cream parlor or 'dunkin donuts' house, those are the two things we always were agitated at instead of boys. The funny thing was, most of us won't spend our snack money so that we could save it for the 'after classes event'.

On weekends, we still managed to get together to swim at the river or have a little picnic at home or somewhere, all the little girls' stuff and that. There's also one time when we planned to stay at Donabelle's house just to watch porn. Firstimers we all were, our eyes widely opened astonishingly watching the 'action' happening on the screen, yucking and screaming (with excitement i guess) coz we couldn't believe our eyes that sex was done that way (just so you know, at fifteen, we never had a real kiss though it's not a big deal to us coz were much too engrossed with our friendship other than boys) *big grin*

Most of those years was such a bliss... we never worry about anything except homework and pop quizzes (coz I'm really not the studious type). Prom date? Who cares?! Back then I once dreamt of becoming a hotdog-stand cook. Hehehe, yeah! I don't know I just find tossing and turning hotdogs an art and that fascinates me especially people loving it ooh great!

Time swiftly passed and we moved on with our lives. Well, I didn't make it to be a hotdog vendor something like that :) Anyway, Christina is happily married with two kids, most of us really have kids except that of with Alaika, who's recently attracted with 'gays'. Where have all these men gone anyway??! :) Among the group, only Alaika and I never got married, Alaika is a mannish type and not much of a charmer like me so it's a bit hard for her to get into a relationship eversince before. And now, we really enjoyed talking about our dream weddings, which never crossed our minds fifteen years ago, which makes Christina a bit jealous because she never planned about her wedding coz it was their parents who did all the planning. Furthermore, that is really something.

Today, I texted my friend asking him if he could find a 'lover' for my dear friend, Alaika. Something like matchmaking stuff. Well, for one, I don't want her end up with some gay whose lipstick is thicker than her or skirt skimpier than hers and screams flirtier than her (actually, she never wore skirt and never put lipstick on, mannish dear) *wink* Let's just see what happens next.



I like this post though because it brings me back to the time where I was so free from stress and commitments unlike now. I know that I'm jobless, broke and still depending on my parent, with two kids, Icouldn't keep up with my cousins and friends but this I realized lately that there really isn't much reason for me to whine because I already have what I want -- two wonderful kids, nice and nagging mother, great friends, and a nice boyfriend. I could get a job anytime I want to (just as long as I'm not choosy) and make money if I wanted to but nothing compares when you feel loved and nice friends and family around you. ;)
