Warning: Cheesy.
You know how it is sa movies, may turning point na marerealized ng isang character na mahal na niya yung isa? Yeah, that kind of thing happened to me the last time I spent time with these guys. Narealized ko lang...I'm happy for their success, I'm sad for their heartbreaks, I care for them and I miss them. And it hit me..."Oh my gosh, I love these guys".
Team4One-blockmates ko buong buhay ko sa PUP. I've known these guys for 10 years now, and it was love-hate for me. But maybe, time not only heals, it proves.
When Maj casually did a little sales talk about something na partida hindi pa nga niya account, I was left thinking, "Account Executive ka nga." Si Jojo naman ay inuulan ng praises sa devianart na parang rockstar. At nung nakausap ko si Jed about her passion in films, hindi ako makasunod, not because she doesn't make sense, but she knows a lot now. Pero sa parehong paraan na successful sila in their own respective ways, really, we're also just a bunch of losers. Haha. We laughed at the thought that half the night we talked about relationships and even giving advices when in fact we suck in it proven by failed ones, being dumped, and not being in one! Seriously now though, these guys are one of the coolest, smartest, funniest, most talented people I know. They know how to have a good time but deals well in bad times too.
How else do I know I love them aside from this strong feeling inside? Forgiveness. One of them may rub me the wrong way, but my attitude is, "That's not cool, but it's okay now. It doesn't hurt my respect for you. Just don't do it again. I will forever wish you the best and I still want to see you next time." Aaaaw. Isn't that love? :) I can imagine them cringe so I will stop now as this is downright cheesy.
But really, Team4One, I love you like my dogs. I mean...the way I love my dogs. Whatever. You guys know what I mean.
