Friends That I Keep

This picture was taken last January 8, 2009.  I forgot the exact place but it is in Tagaytay City.  You can only see five hands but I have more friends than that, it just so happens that only five were available for dinner at that time.  I wouldn't have known that this picture has already turned 1 if I did not browse for pictures in my computer.  I remember we were joking about whose hand looks feminine, well judging from this picture... none.  

The hand on the upper left is Jay-r's, my "sister" who loves to shop and is recently into photography. The hand next to his is Abigael's, who is now happily married to her long-time boyfriend.  They wed in the US  last Summer so we weren't there to witness them exchange their vows.  They are now back in the Philippines for a vacation and hopefully we'll have dinner again together with our other friends.  Beside Abigael's is Paula's, my best friend and my alter ego whom I miss so much... I miss her laugh!  She's in Bangladesh to try to penetrate their curry market...joke.  She said she'll try to "move on" while working on a different soil.  The hand at the bottom right is Leo's, my other best bud who wants to become a pilot, a doctor, a business magnate... etc.  The hand after Leo's is mine. 

I have found several other pictures that captured the best days of my life, of course, with friends around me.  Geez!  I miss those days.
