It is December 20, 2007 today. Eleven (11) days before the end of 2007 and I am here in my room thinking about what happened to me this year. There are so many good memories that marked in my heart this year. This is the year when we formed a group of Jolly, Enthusiastic, Talented, Smart and Happy friends. This is the year where a day won’t end without us (the group) seeing each other in one hanging out place before we go to our sanctuary for the night. The group just gather in a place where we can eat (we love to eat), sing and dance and chit chat with what is happening in our surroundings, specially the common scenarios at the office where majority of the group have their jobs.

Now, as the year ends, I can also see that the group is breaking into pieces little by little. Ann is already married since last September and obviously she can’t always join the group’s escapade because she is pregnant and she has new priorities now - her husband and her soon to be baby girl but she can sometimes go with us from time to time. Dennis, went to Davao City (his hometown) to stay there for good and Mykiss too, who is also from Davao will stay there for good starting next week. Clyde will maybe soul searching in other Cities hopefully at the start of the year 2008, Shane and Dave were already booked to fly outside the country early next year maybe January or February, Wayne who is also a very close friend went to Cebu City last Monday for a greener pasture (Wayne is not really part of the group but he is a good friend of mine) and that leaves us the Cagay-anons of the group

Actually, they worked at the very same company but because of some circumstances (their rights as employees were not really taken cared of, Remember the famous line of the famous person? “GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS!” and that is very insane idea to give up your rights or maybe I can say it this way, some are not really satisfied of the management that is why) we or most of us didn’t want to stay longer on that organization, but that is not the issue here… the issue is the friendship and the bonding moments that was formed and now will be broken into pieces as the year ends. I may sound like so dramatic but that is what I feel now, I am lonely this coming Christmas because my friends are going far away in a far far away land (Shrek? hehehe...). Though I have my loving and happy family here in CDO but I am longing for my group of friends.

May we gather together soon and refresh those moments of happiness, joy and laughter… Let us face the coming years ahead… Merry Christmas!
