for real. =)

One time, i was online, and feeling depressed - not sure what to do to save ties with new friends I just met 4 months ago.

A friend from elementary PM-ed me. She asked if I was alright and if i needed anything. Upon reading those lines, I just broke down. And she listened, just like the good old days. Never mind the fact that we have rarely been in touch for 5 years.

It was the best feeling in the world - knowing that there's at least one person in this world whom I could call a true friend (especially if you are someone like me who long held the notion that i will never have any friends for real).

Make that a few persons.

Old and warm faces who were there to stop me from letting go of probably one of the best - if not the best - things that I will ever have. I regretted the fact that i took some of them for granted even after staying with me through tough times. I'm just glad that time gave me the opportunity to rekindle the ties we shared.

Add a number of new faces who saw through my numerous flaws and managed to bring out the best (and worst) in me like no one did. It was one heck of an emotional roller-coaster ride. I was fortunate enough to experience it with these guys.

The following day, i entered 307 - which was already full of energetic and eccentric characters - grinning; knowing that in time, some of them will have left their footprints in my lane, together with countless others who have made a difference in my life.
