Catching Up 10/21/11

It was a good day. The evening was spent catching up with really good friends whom I've missed so terribly. After returning our togas, claiming pictures from graduation and requesting for transcripts, Pre and I met up with Micah to attend and support TeamComm's fund raiser, a screening of the film Senior Year. TeamComm is the official professional (meaning academic) organization for Communication Majors like us. Pre, Micah and I were all part of the org's executive board last year so we were more than happy and pretty excited to attend the event and support our friends, the organizers and current officers. (It was so surreal to see them doing the things we used to do when we were still officers, too. It was also inspiring in a way.)

The film was great. I enjoyed watching it and I highly recommend you go see it too whenever you get the chance.

We had dinner in McDonald's after the screening. I can't tell you how nice it was to see our orgmates' lovely faces and talk and laugh with them again. It felt like home.♥

While in McDonald's I also got to meet up with a couple of my old pals, my good friends from High School, Sam and Berna. Berna goes to La Salle too so we used to run into each other in the corridors and sit for a quick chat on a bench in school when we had time. Sam, on the other hand, goes to UP Manila. We used to get together for lunch and stuff quite often until school got in the way and we sort of lost touch a little for a while. Both of them I haven't seen and sat down with for a good, long conversation in so long. So it was really nice that we got to talk, like old times, in McDonald's as well, even for a bit. Now we're already making plans for another night out...at the theatre! That's something we always do, watch plays haha!

Sam and Nikki. Berna took this! Photo with her to follow :)

On the way home I was thinking about how good it felt to finally be able to catch up with these friends of mine. I felt like such a lousy friend for not being able to get together and catch up with them more often in the last couple of years while I was in school. Catching up with them was one of the best feelings in the world! Like when you finally get some sun at the beach after not having been there for so long. I realized that now that I'm done with school and I have all the free time in the world until I find a job is the best time to catch up with my friends, especially those I kind of or might have lost touch with. And then I'll be better at keeping in touch with them! :)

You keep in touch, too!
