An Evening With My Old Friends

My weekend was spent with my old friends’ way back in my MBA days. Trining, Elvie, her husband Rene, Ate Glo and I decided to have dinner at Tongyang in Megamall last Friday. This was a treat from Ting since he was appointed again as the City Administrator in Mandaluyong despite the change in the local officials (Mayor) as a result of the recent election. It’s not that Mayor Gonzales lost to our current Mayor it’s just that he decided to run for a higher post (Congressman) of the lone district in Mandaluyong. We meet at around 7:00 PM and waited for Ting’s arrival at around 8:00 PM. We had a sumptuous dinner of buttered shrimp, squid, scallop, shells, mollusk, blue marlin and other seafoods. Since I am not allowed to eat seafoods as I am still under medication I opted to feast on pork barbeque and tocino. At least I still have something to munch on while they are feasting on those seafoods. Ting’s godson Kurt and Jeff tag along with him so we were stuck with them the whole night. We had so much fun reminiscing our MBA days where we talked about our case study session and group reporting. We had to recall our professor’s dismay whenever we would get the wrong analysis on the case given to us, the so many eating sessions we had instead of group study sessions we would usually end up going from one restaurant to another in search for anything we could eat during the night. There was a time where we end up going to Luneta Park and end up cruising Manila Bay in the wee hours of the night. We had so much fun that night that before we realized it Tongyang was about to close the store. We agreed to meet again next time. We hadn’t agreed on a definite date since all of us are working except for Ate Glo who has a more flexible time considering her teaching schedule. Before we parted ways Ting had actually invited us to visit his new office and told us that he want to show us what he had done to his office. He remodeled his new office with his own furnishings and changes everything to suit this to his own style. When we went outside the restaurant we exchange mobile numbers again to get in touch with each other sooner or later.

After we parted ways I can’t imagine how much we touched each other lives in so many different ways. I can’t even explain how much I miss my friends. I wanted to laugh with them, cry with them…. Like the way it used to be. But we have our own lives to attend, own career and problems to deal with. Anyway so much about being sentimental this time… I really enjoy the night with my old friends plus the sumptuous the dinner that we shared that night…

Hope you had a nice weekend too!!!
