A Rare 'Friendships'

I just feel like blogging about my kumare.

It's not common when you run into people that jives with you at the slightest effort. We met actually late last year and became really good friends. Gosh, I would have missed a lot of interesting stuff if she weren't my companion. From shopping to buffet to KTV to camwhoring to foreign movies and chinese concerts, and of course the meaningful girl talks and life sharing sessions. Perfect! Ayoko pa naman magyaya ng taong hindi game or napipilitan lng. It affects my level of satisfaction if my companion was just half-hearted and being dragged. Mapili ako hehehe! And also, it is always the 'quality' I'm after, not quantity. There are a lot of people who are crowd-centric, the more the merrier mindset. I don't really care kung dalawa lng kami, as long as we're both enjoying - that's the bottomline.

Initially I was thinking there might be some sort of awkwardness. Our moms are kumare, and of course I (or we both) have to behave para naman walang masumbong na kung ano hahaha. And yet, wala agad ang awkwardness since day1 she arrived here.

Nakakatuwa is that parehas kaming game. I would remember our hotel buffet escapades where we really glamored up just to pig out and posed like models in the corridors hihi. Hey OFWs need to give themselves a break once in a while. May Dey-Op (day-off) dapat paminsan-minsan. haha.

I somehow nearly forgotten how it is like having a true friend (female). I just had a bad experience early last year when trust is put into question. I'm not really a racist, but in sensitive aspects, I would think Fil-Chis are normally more ethical. oops bahala na ang tamaan. In my few uwi's, the FilChi friends somehow dont make a big blabber about me treating them. Ang mga Pinoy talga hilig magkantiyaw ng libre wehehe. Hindi naman ako kuripot, ok lang magtreat pero sana mas gusto ako nagtretreat ako dahil gusto ko, hindi dahil kinukulit ako. :p

And I realize I have a scarcity of really close girl friends. Mas madami atang guy friends (bka nga lalaki ako in past life hehe) Anyway, karamihan ng mga kaclose ko na babae, hmm how to describe it, we somehow lost communication and drifted apart or some have left the country. But I do feel my kumare is a friend for keeps. We're both pleasant people. :)

It's not so common to bump into people who are really knowledgeable in Chinese/Mandarin. GI na kung GI wehehe okay lng. Basta we know Jay Chou rules. :p and funny thing is we seem to grow up in HK-dominated series at home in our childhood. There was this HK gambling drama that really left a big impression on me. Title is Tu Sen Mi Chi. and my kumare also watched it! It has a funny love story in it. The guy is a god of gamblers, he has a childhood female friend who is boyish and a tindera ng isda sa palengke. This tindera admitted to him several times that she likes him. The guy always took her for granted and called her 'tomboy'. But nonetheless they were still close friends and confided to each other. The gambler had a huge crush on some girl. Later on, the tindere also had a suitor who proposed to her. Because of the frequent rejections of the gambler, tindera finally agreed to marry her suitor. As expected, the gambler finally realized that tindera meant much to him more than a friend, and went gate-crashing during the wedding ceremony. BUT the tindera didnt just concede huh.. she said something striking.. I can still remember the dialogue (Mandarin version) clearly. Haay wish I could type Mandarin. It goes something like this.

'.. if I were married already and have kids at this very moment when you realize your feelings for me.. do you want me to abandon my husband and leave my kids to run with you...'

Napagod na kasi si tindera.. parang napikon na cya bkit sobrang late na narealize ni gambler.. for the longest time na parati cyang tinetake for granted.

Ending.. hmm find out for yourself. I was quite surprised to see this drama aired before in Channel 13 (very long time ago). I think that time I kept on rewinding/watching the last few episodes of that drama (panahon pa ng VHS!) hahaha.

Anyway seems like I am diverting too much from the topic. I was supposed to blog about my kumare hehe. Anyway, nice to meet an endangered specie. *wink*

P.S.
Oh well medyo magulo ang isip ko lately. I have a feeling of 'drifting'. Nalulungkot ako. (see this is the blog with the most tagalog words, tinamad na ako mag-english :p).
