So how are you, my friend? A meetup, and on efforts to stay in touch.

Randomly wrote this sometime early last week:

I love brief text exchanges in the early morning, whether it's a text update from a friend, or catching up with another friend that you haven't see or spoken to in a while.

Regardless of the fact that I wake up during the wee hours of morning, it still feels great to chat or text with a friend that you haven't heard from in ages.

There are times when I just randomly text people or leave posts on their Facebook walls, telling them that I miss them, not for the sake of just saying them (like some people do), but because I sincerely do miss them.

After one random post on Lexi's wall last week, I finally got to meet up with her that very same week. It's been about 8 years since I last saw her in person, and it was high time to meet. I love that she actually encouraged the spur-of-the-moment meet up, regardless of the fact that her schedule has been pretty toxic all these years.

We met up last Wednesday for lunch at Robinson's place, because it's convenient for her because she works at a clinic nearby, plus she only has an hour's worth of lunch break. But it was totally worth it. We chatted the hour away over lunch, and she's finally getting married in December. It's going to be in Bacolod, though, but she do wants our clique to be there. But hopefully we do get to have a reunion with the rest of the girls, maybe during the summer when most of our schedules aren't so busy.

There are friends that do make the effort and the time for you. Some are worth it, while for the rest, I guess I'm on the verge of giving up on them. So they may say that they're not the type who enjoys replying to text messages or Facebook posts. But I sure hope they show at least a bit of appreciation that they have friends who make this effort, no matter how big or small it is, to show that they're loved.

So yeah, I miss you guys. You know who you are. But for some of you, I guess you don't know or don't care as much.
