The Singles Club
By: Chello Mae T. Dico
This started with two broken hearts, Moree's and mine. Haha! Well that was basically how we met and became good, good friends. She was trying to get over a failed relationship, I was on the verge of mine coming to an end. And from one broken heart to another, a beautiful friendship emerged. Little did we know that a few more friendships will branch out from there but, nevertheless, it was all a blessing in disguise.
An understatement of the world being small is, for us, well... an understatement! Thamer and I being good friends in college, Thamer and Moree being highschool friends, Moree and Nina being friends since nursery, Thamer and Nina living in the same neighborhood since childhood, Adie and Thamer being the best of friends. That's how small the world is for us being interconnected with each other in many ways.
The Simala Trip was just supposed to help us clean our slates before the year ends but it did to us more than just that. It established friendships, both old and new. On the way back to the city from Simala, we have been talking lots about our laag next in line. It was supposed to be a trip to a shrine in Carmen which had to be postponed at a later date because of some constraints so the Kartzone adventure happened. Kartzone escapade was fun and exciting and fun, fun, fun! We met new faces, that being Ymor, Ryan, and Dane who are Nina's friends. And since we're all single and experienced an awful heartache in 2009, there came the idea of The Singles Club for Moree, Nina, Thamer, Adie, and of course, yours truly. :)
We all had our hearts broken in 2009 and had to go through distinct hurtful experiences. I don't know whose is worse and who hurt the most but it was, for each of us, something we wouldn't wanna go through again, as much as possible. But as some line from Sex and the City goes, "if there's an upside to free falling, it's giving your friends a chance to catch you". And that we surely did: give our friends a chance to catch us. And are we glad!
We all agreed to leave 2009 with an open mind so we can embrace 2010 with an open heart. Open to new opportunities, new possibilities, new faces, new experiences in new places, and most of all, open to what fate may bring us. And as we write more itineraries on our list, we also would like to check more as we materialize each one. So far we have done two. We hope to be able to check more. Hehe. Seriously, though, this isn't just about the heartaches we had to leave behind. More than just that, this is about having people who may not necessarily understand us everytime but will be there despite what our hearts are going through. God must've known that we needed a support group of some sort because He brought us all together and created beautiful, beautiful memories in a short span of time. This leads us to hoping we will have more. =)
As the five of us start 2010 being single, we face it with the hope that 2010 brings us more smiles and less heartaches. This isn't to say that we plan to be single for the rest of the year just to avoid the pain of heartbreaks. This is to say that even when we decide to be in a relationship within the year, we will be singles for each other when the need arises.
So this goes out to the five of us: Moree, Nina, Thamer, Adie, and, yours truly. :)
This is for more adventures, more stress releases, more memories, more itineraries on the checklist.
This is for life, for love, for friendships, and more smiles.
This is saying goodbye to the stress of 2009 and the new start 2010 offers.
This is for more "I trust you" moments even when a U-turn is made. Hehe.
And lastly, this is for everything that has been and for all that will be.
