Hues of a Soul

Genz is one of the 2 best friends I ever had who started calling me his best friend first. I was even surprised when he first called me his “best”. After the initial shock, however, we were closer than ever. Some of our AB friends even questioned our sexuality, that our relationship was too tight that it really seemed to them as gay. To us it was just our “best-friendship”.
Our relationship as best friends got on a rocky road when he ran away from home and decided to live with his girlfriend in Bacolod. He borrowed some money from me saying that he was just visiting, but once he was there, he didn’t want to leave anymore.
He was consistent in trying to keep our friendship alive with texts and calls from time to time. I didn’t really care. By that time, I was already used to my jinx when it came to best friends. I was already used to people leaving me behind.
When he finally came back, he brought his girlfriend with him. They got their own place, Genz found a job as a call center agent, and they’ve been living together since.
Genz, my best friend, and I had a conversation over the phone last night and it was as if our relationship kicked off where we left it. We were reminiscing the old days and kept on planning when we could relive it. In the end, due to both our busy schedules, we couldn’t find time to do it. I just hope that, before things changed to a whole new level, we could relive the past, even for just a short while.

Bien, Raymond and Joval…. I find myself often in their company lately. Bien and Raymond I consider my kids while Joval is more of a bro. We often go out on Friday night and have a few, sometimes a lot, of drinks. Sometimes we don’t really talk much, other times we talk a lot. But by the end of the night, I always go home with a happy heart and lesser stress.
I found myself in UST again. At first I just wanted to chillax at calderon and enjoy the solitude. But then I texted some of my kids and my little bro, Joval. Joval, Raymond and I had dinner at Wok, then met up with Bien for a few drinks.
They treated me to a few drinks, which was a first since I usually pay for everything. It felt really great being treated like that. Like their kuya or dad. I was so touched that I almost cried in the cab on my way home. I kept remembering the moment when I was about to get into the taxi when we all had a group hug. :D
I will cherish them. They are my kids. They are my friends.
At first it was only me. Then I turned myself into a drawing burning with the flames of imagination. :D
I saw this picture in my files while I was looking for some stuff I could already delete to make space in my drive. Joy, Jay, Van-van, Paredes, Jonas, Genz and Kevin. I called them my BEERMATES. One text and they would immediately come to Tapsi to have a good time. A time when all of life’s problems seemed to fade away even for just a while.
I drew this while we were in our company retreat in Tagaytay :D Nahahalata tuloy kung sino ung hindi nakikinig hahaha!
I’m a very sentimental person. Whenever I see some objects or places I begin to reminisce a lot of happy memories.
This is a small eskinita in Angeles City, Pampanga which would always remind me of a certain group of people I revolved my life around when we were still in high school.
A certain brand of mint chocolates would always remind me of a person I always admired in college but hid it behind a mask of anger and envy. :))
This necklace would always remind me of the members of our band in high school.
This pose, dubbed “the Funchum”, will always remind me of a best friend I have who is so loyal, honest and thoughtful and whom I will always cherish.
These are just a few of the things and places that are very sentimental to me.
To add to these, this thermos was just given to me tonight by someone I consider to be a close friend whom I just found out that I would most likely never see again.
