How College Stole My Social Life

I haven't admitted this to myself yet until now, but I think I am really becoming an antisocial or socially awkward person. During grade school, even if I was unpopular, I were surrounded with tons of friends because we were in the same class (best sec hihi) for 5 years so that made sense. During high school, ACSci had a population of not even 1/4 of HFA, so it made sense too that I ought to have tons of friends because our school was small. Then, come college, my world revolved around school, my room/dorm mates, super classmates, family and the Internet. Bye bye, friends.


I guess maybe it's because I tweet a lot (to myself, mostly) and people cannot relate to most stuff like school, unless we go to the same one. There are more reasons why but I guess a prominent one is that I should blame myself. I don't reach out anymore as often as before because of the same reason  I cannot relate to them anymore. Maybe that's how things are ought to be. Change is the only permanent thing in this world.

Looking at how things are now, I am quite okay with how they turned out because somehow I'm loving my life right now. Even if it meant taking a few friends from me.

But still, I can't help but take pity on myself because of how I used to be so yesterday I tried coming out of my shell and texted a few friends, like a third of my phonebook and I'm glad half of those replied. Some even reacted like I've risen again or something. But I had fun asking them how they were and even explaining why it has been too long. At least now I know time hasn't really taken away most of my friends from me because they're just a text message away and things seemed like high school all over again. ;)

I just promise I wouldn't be too busy with my personal life (e.g. school, family, etc) that it would cause my friends to ditch me. No way. Nor the other way around, me ditching them. Because at the end of the day, even if you have everything, life is always better with someone who you can share stories and laughs with. ;)



Special mention to my friends who replied (even for just a few exchange of texts):
Sai Gumabon, Trish Reyes, Jaema Datugan, Jigz Manalili, Ethan Loredo, Kirby Fontillas, Rouize Malijan, Edil Manalo, Raniel Canete, Robert Maglalang, Ren De Mesa, Camille Castro and Aya Esguerra ♥

Love you guys and please don't break up with me. (Dedicated too, to those who didn't rep! Mwah!)

P.S. I don't wanna be antisocial.

To my sister-at-heart, one of my favorite persons in the world, S, my best friend... ♥

Dearest S,

This is my favorite photo of the two of us because it shows a lot of things like how quirky and crazy we are, how similar we are and how we just love each other like true sisters/best friends. I've lost a few friends (well, communication with them, not necessarily them) and yet you are still here no matter how seldom we see and talk to each other. I am not scared of losing you because I know even if we do not communicate often, we will always be there for each other and we will always be close.

So, happy birthday, Maine!!! Happy 18th! ;) I hope we see each other soon and have our movie date. I promise we will!!! Thank you for being always there for me, for being my friend and for everything else. I know I am not a perfect friend, but you still decide to be my friend. I am really grateful for you. Like I said, I've lost a lot of friends, but I'm okay with that as long as I get to keep those who are really dear to me. You're one of them! ;) I love you to bits and I hope you'll stay as you are. Stay as understanding, funny, crazy, friendly and more because we love you just the way you are. Hihi. I hope you get to have your birthday wish, whichever you prayed for. May God bless you more and shower you with the best things in life because good people deserve those, and you are one of them. I also hope you'll have a fruitful lovelife soon, if you want one, because I think you deserve to be happy again. ;) I love youuuu and I miss you badly! Sorry if my message is late, but know that words cannot even express how much you mean to me. Please stay as my best friend till we get really old and ugly because I love you that much. :)))) I'm hoping to more years of friendship! ;)

Happy birthday again!!! ♥

Love, K
