A friend of mine, Lyane, for some reason asked if I could help her find her father through certain sites. Obviously, it was not as easy as it seemed.

Hanggang I got bored of typing the same name over and over again. I figured why not try other names…maybe some long lost friends of mine. His name first came into mind.

Saw his pictures…recent ones. My thoughts were, “Sya ba ito?”, “Sya na ba talaga ito?” and “Ano nangyari?” Tanong ko, sagot ko. It is him…and what happened — he grew old. Hhhmmm…or should I say WE grew old. Kaya lang parang ang layo ng pagbabago from Then and Now.

He used to be so cute…so handsome…as I describe him then, “makalaglag-panty at makatanggal-strap ng bra”. I only have one picture of him, hidden somewhere between the four corners of this room. He taught me terms like “gagalangin” and “gagapangin”. And he said I belong to the first. Nax! (makapambola lang!) And he’s the type who’s into the second. He said things to me na kung kasinungalingan man yun…My gulay, that was the sweetest lie! Paano kami noon? Our situation was oh so simple…and yet full of complications. Gulo noh?!?! Ako rin di ko maintindihan noon. May mahal sya, may mahal ako, may nagmamahal sa kanya, may nagmamahal sa akin, may sikreto kami, hanggang sa ipinasa ako, may nireto sya, may nakabuntis, may nawala, may sumunod, may aso … hanggang sa may “pangit” na dumating sa buhay ko. Gets????

May “pangit” na ako nang biglang lumitaw ulit sya. Nangangamusta. Hala! di nga? Sabay yaya, sama na lang daw ako sa kanya sa Batangas. God knows I wanted to….natakot lang ako.

So what if kung sumama nga ako…would have I ended up where I am right now?

Recalling….it was fun while it lasted…confusing, hurting, complicated pero that made the whole experience memorable di ba? Between me, him, his friends and mine…we went through the total agony of being inlove. And yes, looks like we all survived it. We moved on ……………… and we grew old. That’s what happened.
