A Friend’s Farewell ‘Party’

It was one of those spontaneous lakads, which turned out to be one of the rare happy nights.

Wanting to escape from doing the work I brought home (fyi, currently working on that viewer feedback on a Star Cinema movie), the first thought I had the moment I opened my eyes 7:30 last night– “I have to go out!!” And thank God I didn’t have to do it alone – for there was another soul who more or less needed the same escape.

So off to Meatshop - such a suffocating place to be; and not very ideal if you want to really talk. So we transferred to the quieter and less crowded place beside it.

It was a happy night. (Let’s leave it as simple as that. Ha! I’ve had enough dimensionalizing emotions of viewers for the movie I’m doing a report on.)

So yes, it was a happy night, It felt good spending time and talking with two amazing people - two friends of mine who until last night didn’t know each other except through my stories. It was just that it felt good to listen to other people besides myself. Maybe it is true that sometimes, all you need is really a few hours of real talking to make up for the other days when you can’t barely talk with anyone.
