This get-together happened one month ago, around December last year. We’re supposed to have this vacation on the beach but because we’re working class adults now, getting a schedule that matches everyone’s schedule is really a tough one. We need to have at least 2 days that we can all file a leave so that we can avail that 3 days and 2 nights stay. Such a concept haaaay 😔.
This "circle of friends/COF" was created way back when we were still in high school. We’re just 35 students in one class but, surprisingly, we’re 15 in our squad hahaha 😂 (almost half of the class). That’s why whenever we get to have a meet up, it will always be a chaos hahaha. We’re the ones that get scolded in class, but our group is full of talented and intelligent individuals hahaha. Now, we’re happy that all of us are professionals already.
December has been, ever since, the month of our mandatory meet up. With the hassle and busy life we all have nowadays, this month is the one where almost everyone can have a break or free time, to catch up with everyone’s stories and life, then later on eat and bonus for if we’ll have a sleepover. Since we have busy schedules last December, we just decided to have our annual meet up at a nearby mall from all of us, which is SM Seaside. This meet up will be an intriguing one 😱 because there will be a revelation that will happen that only me and the person involved knows about. I’m the only one she told that because we’re the closest in the group 😊.
CATCHING UP AT COFFEE BEAN
We decide to go directly to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to talk and have some catching up while waiting for others to arrive. While we’re doing our casual conversation, it was later revealed that one of us there already resigned 🙁 from her previous company. We were all shocked because in her social media, she looks so happy working there, but in reality she’s not having fun anymore 😔. We’re sad to hear her story that when her mother got sick, it was not covered by her company’s HMO. She asked for help from them, but she received none. After that, she applied to her dream company but she failed and got disappointed of the result. She prayed to their pastor that may God guide them during that tough time. She asked why her wishes are not in accordance with God’s plan. But she later realized she was wrong. God has his own perfect timing. On the day of her mom’s operation, she was called by a company and got a job interview. And she was hired right away after the interview that day 🤩. On that day too, they received a monetary support from a friend and got cash assistance from Cebu City government. His plan is really perfect, all you need to have is some faith and trust in all His plans 💞.
We realized a lot of things after that talk. Life is not all about happy moments.
One of us also revealed that she’s no longer happy with her work environment. She resigned. And so far, it was a good decision since she got into a company that offers more and that she was able to adjust to her environment rather easily. And she’s proud to be able to buy a new phone already, considering that she don’t like spending her money lavishly 😁.
Then all of us arrived and present, well, for those who were free that day hahaha. Time is not in our favor.
PICTORIAL THEN DINNER AT CASA VERDE
We decided to go on the upper grounds of SM Seaside to take some pictures for memories. The background and lights are just too much for us to miss. This will also serve as a way to make our other friends to regret not coming with us hahahaha 😅.
And since one of us bought their boyfriend with them, he became our photographer automatically for the whole duration (perks) 😂. After posing left and right, we now are hungry and had to find a restaurant where we can have our dinner.
A lot of people flocked on other famous food shops since it’s a weekend, so we kinda ended up at Casa Verde haha. We waited for minutes because we still need to wait in a line and write our names. Our names were already called and it’s now our time to shine. Woooow ahahhaha 😂.
We had their menu and chose meal that we can share. While waiting for our food to arrive, I took pictures of the area 📸.
I’ve already been to Casa Verde 🥘 before with my family, that’s why I recommended this place to them too for they have delicious servings and an ambiance to look forward to. I also recommended their tall shake haha.
THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
So yes, we’re waiting once again. But this time, it’s time for the big announcement. It’s time for the revelation I mentioned above on the first part of this post. Everyone’s shocked after one of our friends said that she’s pregnant 🤰. Of course, the shock turned into happiness in no time because finally, we’ll have our first baby 👶 🍼 in the squad. We talked about names that the baby can have hahaha. We still don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, so we had recommendations of names in both genders haha. Someone suggested a very long name and I said that the kid will have a hard time at school if ever. Just writing the name would be really time-consuming, making him/her to get out of the class at a later time than the rest hahahaha 🤣.
We also planned to have a celebration if the gender will already be announce since as mentioned, it is our first baby in the squad. We’re just too happy for that.
Anyway, the girl in the middle wearing black in the photos above is the pregnant one 👸.
The food arrived and the catching up continued while eating 😋. We all enjoyed our dinner food.
THE TRENDING KOOMI
After dinner, we walked around the mall and decided to try this shop that is trending in Facebook.
So we have no choice but to try Koomi 🐮 especially since all of us are curious anyway. I’m not disappointed since it’s delicious and it’s a healthy yogurt.
It’s kinda pricey 💵 and sour in taste but it’s worth it. At the store, they have this spinning wheel that can help you decide what to order in case you’re confused as to what flavor you’re going to buy haha. We decided to go home after that.
WAITING FOR OUR RIDE: REALIZATIONS
While waiting for our ride, we talked again, a never ending talk. We realized that we really are already old haha. One of us will already give birth soon and be a mother. It’s still not sinking to our minds that yes, we’re on this stage of our lives already 🤯. We’re not the group that used to be all wacky and crazy every now and then. We’re already facing real world and life problems. We’re all excited of the future that awaits us. We hope that we’ll be successful in our chosen path. I’m thankful to be friends with these specific people.
Since high school up until now, we still are together and value our friendship a lot ✨.
THE GOOD B.I. is a group of 4 employees-friends from Cebu City wanting to share their adventures and random ideas with everyone. The group’s future stories to tell will be so vast and diverse. Imagine having four brains to share different ideas and might end up in a disagreement. A feat that others might be so fearful to do, but they believe that it is what will make their posts more exceptional and remarkable.
