golden girls' rampage

just got home from a whole day rampage with my college barkadas. we had a sumptuous lunch at krua thai and stayed there until 3:00 pm talking and catching up with what's happening with our lives. we seldom meet maybe thrice or four times a year, if we are lucky that our schedules jibed. dory, connie, nenen, pining, riza are all in their early fifties, while i am going on the golden age in december. i am the youngest of the group but certainly not the smallest in size and stature.

since we opted for the buffet meal, we ate as if there is no tomorrow. we waited for refills and lined up again to get second serving. there goes our diet. we are experts in the field of eating and talking at the same time. it is like we haven't seen each other for ages and we have to make up for the lost time. nenen is leaving for america so it was like a despedida party for her too. after eating we went to watch a movie. since two of us saw superman already, we divided ourselves in two groups so connie and myself chose to see failure to launch.

after the screening we went shoppping and still couldn't stop ourselves from talking. we saw former crushes and relationship and that triggered more talk and asking ourselves about what ifs. after a couple of hours, we had a late merienda/dinner at pizza hut and gorge on two varieties of their pan pizza. who said that while your getting older, you will lose your appetite? we certainly didn't. hahaha. so we stayed again at the pizza parlor for a while, until they were about to close. it is really true that when you love your company so much, time flies too quickly. nenen told us even when she is not around that we will do this particular exercise of meeting again. after a few seconds of mulling through the idea, we told her no. we will wait for her in december when she returns from her trip. then the five of them looking at me said, its my turn to treat them because it will be my birthday. heaven forbid! at the rate we were going of how to spend a day with friends, i have to start saving money for this reunion.

we said our adieus and promise to keep in touch. it was a very fulfilling, happy and memorable day. just wished that we had more time. getting stares from people because we were having a good time was worth it. and the way we giggled and laughed, who would ever think that we were a bunch of fifty something individuals?
