It’s amazing how time flies. How you just realize that a lot has already happened to the people surrounding you. What used to be is no longer happening and you know that for some reason these things can never go back. It’s not a sad feeling per se. As I said, it’s actually quite amazing and in some ways I was quite contemplative with the many changes happening. I guess I was surprised because I too was preoccupied working on my own life that the next thing I know, these monumental changes to my friends are already happening. Case in point is the Cheriboys – partners in crime, SFC service buddies, and brothers for life….
We haven’t had a session for months and months now but I was fortunate to still have separate communication with all of them. Here’s the gist:
PA – He’s single now. Yeah they broke up if you haven’t heard. He was the first in the group to be in a relationship and however imperfect his relationship was, we actually admired the former couple because they were good for each other. Anyway, being the guy that he is, PA is now eyeing/targeting a new girl while Gian is already in a new relationship.
JB – This bro has taken more leadership roles in SFC in the past months than any of us. He is still very much in a relationship (kudos to that!) and I owe him big time when I didn’t help out in the creative presentations during the HOPE weekend in Baguio. Sorry bro but believe me there is a reason for that. Huhu.
JM – I didn’t realize I miss the guy until I had my usual type of conversation with him 2 weeks ago. Basically, he made for himself a different life while he was away and that changed some of his perspectives. He came back and for some reason, I noticed that he was more quiet and reserved. I don’t know why but I already told him this. I hope you bring back the energy bro! You have to! He’ll be forever on night shift with his new work.
Ryan – his very recent updates isn’t the stuff of blogs yet. So I’m not at liberty to divulge yet. Just check if he’ll post anything in his pages. Just know that braces are the new ‘in’ thing for him. Hahaha!
I know that with all the changes happening to us and more than a year after The Cheriboys were formed, we have moved on to a different level. Why? Well, because life happened. The once planned kind of life for some of us are is now being lived. The aspirations and dreams of some of us are now attained. The frustrations and problems that were once shared with the group are now addressed and faced. Generally, life is looking good. And as we go through the next levels of our lives, I just pray that we be continuously guided by Him that we might have the time to share, willingness to continue, support to give, and strength to endure….
I actually don’t know why I wrote this. Maybe I am just in a reflective mood. Yeah, it’s probably just me planning some things and looking at the NEAR FUTURE. Hay…..
