yen yen and i have been asked the question "how long have you been friends?" a million times and what do we answer? for as long as we can remember. see, my tita heide's husband tito glenn is yen's cousin so we're sort of related. before they were married and even before i was born, yen had already been to our house. amazing, huh?
as kids, we used to sleep over each other's houses a lot. once, i stayed at their house for a week. when have you ever heard of grade school students having week-long sleepovers?
we were probably the worst and COOLEST kids you'd ever find- riding bikes down steep pathways and running into flower pots, climbing ladders to get on roofs, mixing different juice flaovrs and seeing what colors our tongues wopuld become after, climbing monkey bars and falling on our, or more correctly, my ass, making our own laboratory and trying to come up with an invisibility potion, playing hide and seek with my brother and petin in pitch black rooms, going to maasin, leyte and finding "expensive pieces of glass" (which were really just broken beer and soda bottles) on the beach, winning *ahem* all the games at children's parties.
i miss how silly and immature we used to be. but when i really think about it, we still are - walking from forest hills to caltex banawa in the middle of the night just to buy internet cards, making the baduyest dance moves, getting drunk from too much boracay and sleeping on the sand, talking in english accents just so taxi drivers won't understand us, screaming our lungs out at 3 a.m. because we thought there was music coming out of a drawer, drinking beer in the afternoon and trying to act sober when mother helen openes the door and tells us that we're going to church.
it's been months since i've last seen that crazy girl. i think i'll go give her a call right now.
ahhh i can't believe how old these pictures are! HAHAHA.
(i'd post pictures from when were still kids, but i don't have a scanner. so yeah. maybe some other time.)
