Miss You Na Agad, Pat
I am the last person who will ever get used to people coming in and out of her life. I get so attached to people easily maybe because it is pretty rare that I make really, really great friends.
Last year, Chay left to work as a Flight Attendant for Saudia Air. When she left, Ja and I felt like we lost a limb or something. Cos in our barkada, it's the three of us who are constant among the boys. We miss her so much and when she came back for a couple of days last March, she announced she's getting married next year.
In two weeks, we're losing another friend to San Francisco.
Pat's been my friend for a little over 2 years now and he's been more like a big brother to Ja and I. I met him through his bestfriend Bolet (who was Ja's officemate in Sykes). Almost every week since meeting him in Absinth, all of us would go out and drink and party the night away. Pat's much closer to Ja but we always say the three of us (include Age na rin) are so alike cos we're all Leos (Pat's birthday pa is a day later than mine lang). Pat's a generally happy-go-lucky guy. He's such a charmer! Daming chicks, he can dance like Usher (promise!) and basta full-blast lang ang appeal nya but even so he's a really nice guy altogether. Can't say anything bad about him...except maybe that he's stubborn. But then all Leos are innately like that...I know I am, for one.
Pat's girlfriend (? I'm not sure if they're official) texted me last night saying that there's gonna be a surprise despedida for him this Friday at Tagaytay Highlands. Sana I could go but I doubt it cos I have class early ng Saturdays. He's leaving on the 19th na.
I was talking to Ja awhile ago and I was telling her how I can't believe it's actually happening...I mean, Pat leaving! We knew he was going but I guess we've always just figured it could be moved back or something. It feels so surreal having one of the boys leave. Especially Pat...he's such a ball of energy pa naman whenever we're out.
I remember when I was nag-iinarte to my guy friends, telling them I was upset cos they never go out with me to drink but they're always accompanying my ex. Tapos I told them na samahan nila ako uminom that night cos I said akin naman sila. And even though the boys are all from North, they went here to Makati to go out with me! I was super touched cos I never thought they'd actually do that. And Pat texted me pa before, "we will always be yours Len." Cos I started to feel a bit selos that they were always out with Mik.
So yeah...I'm sad. I'm starting have separation anxiety na naman. And it's not like Pat's leaving for vacation or something. He's gonna live there na talaga. US Citizen my ass! ='( So I dunno lang if my friends and I are having a separate despedida party for him. Cos the one on Friday naman are his South friends. Kakahiya.
I'm making Pat a going-away present. I'll make him a VCD. Sana we can all watch para awww...memories galore!

We'll Super Miss You, our dear Patricio! Who will take care of me and Ja na, ha? Pedro na lang. ='(
