Remember the Ones Who Truly Care

I haven't been going out much lately. In fact, I don't remember the last time I went out drinking with friends. And this is saying something because I used to go out with my friends at least three times a week. In fact, the same crew used to go to the same bar here in BF Homes almost every night just to hang out, chill and play some beer pong.

The truth of the matter is: I don't even see any of those "friends" anymore nor do I talk to any of them. And this is interesting because we didn't fight or anything. We kind of just 'drifted apart' so to speak. And that's sad.

While I am accustomed to losing friends because of how much I used to move around in my younger years, I can't help but feel sad whenever I think about the people I used to be super close to and lost because they found new friends, started a new and stressful job or - the worst 'excuse of all' - they got a new boyfriend/girlfriend.

To be honest, I'll never understand why people forget their friends when they get into new relationships because, well, who do they turn to when things go to shit? Their friends. *rolls eyes at the world*

So I guess that's the reason why I'm suddenly writing a blog post: to remind people of what's important. Yes, I understand that romantic relationships are important, but that doesn't mean you should forget all of the other relationships in your life because of it.

Never forget who was there when you needed someone the most. Never forget the ones you can turn to in your hour of need. Never forget who was there when no one else was. At the end of the day, your friends are who you've got when shit hits the fan. I learned that the hard way...

On a lighter note, I'd like to talk about this random outfit that I'm posting. I actually wasn't planning on posting it at all. I think I had come from the gym when two of my friends pointed out that they liked what I was wearing and that I should take photos of myself.

Fast forward to dinner with Jules at Army Navy and there I was posing like a weirdo in the middle of the night. (Thanks for humouring me and taking my photos anyway, Puddin'!)

I'm also ecstatic because I finally go to replace my white Pony sneakers - remember them? They're the ones that got stolen from my luggage on my last Cebu Pacific flight. Do you now understand why I was so distraught when I lost them? They're pure love… and I swear they go with anything!

That explains why I'm completely makeup-less and in a ponytail, too. And oh, fun fact: my shirt only cost Php100 at H&M in Tokyo and my shorts only cost Php150 at this online store called Jukaykay - everything there costs so little; I highly recommend you check it out! :)

How have you guys been? :) I've missed this personal space of mine oh-so-much. I'm hoping to connect with all of you all over again. :)
