childhood sweetheart

I’ve been in certain bandwagons lately and to name one, I’ve been really crazy with Friendster. It came my way when I started my very first job as a call center agent a couple of months back, and it was one of the things I look up to when I reach my workstation. However, since everyone of us here in the office have one, and I can say, are dead crazy about it too, our Supervisors have decided to ban it, along with YM and other “internet stuff” (as they call it).

Anyway, I am very thankful that Friendster’s here because I’ve unearthed my looooong lost boyfriend, haha! He was 9 and I was 11 when we swore to marry each other when we were grown ups. I remember him giving me wilted “Kalachuchi” as his token of love. And I must admit, he was my first ever kiss (on the cheek). It is a pretty "kilig" story of a childhood sweetheart that had almost faded, and 12 years later would have bloomed.

But things have changed. Since we’ve completely lost touch with each other, it was like he was totally erased from my life and the only thing that's left of him are the memories. Little did I know that we have been studying in the same school after all these years, and the exciting thing is, we are both graduating at the same time! I never met him there in DLSU, and we’ve probably seen each other or bump into each other, only we did not recognize it. I guess the only time I'll ever see him in the flesh is when we march and get our diplomas in June.

We have been emailing each other, you know, little updates in our lives. I really hope to see him and I'm sure he had missed those good old days. I quote him, "Remember that room we used to play?" It was his room. Anyway, he thinks my son is cute, though.
