Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
As you talk to your close friend
whom you have known for some many years and just realize friends whom you use
to hang out with when you’re single and young you find out later these friends
you thought was never your real friends in the first place.
For all the sacrifice you
have made in the past being their friend as your parents always scolded you
from coming home late at night and driving them around where ever they wanted
to go made you realize how much a friend can do just to get the way they wanted
out of friendship.
Not realizing they have a
backbone by using you as you have drifted some many times away from them seeing
them meet new set of friends as they keep introducing them to you.
You find out from your
close friend you knew was afraid that their guy friends would be attracted to
you only as friends was getting jealous because their eyes we’re somewhere
else.
All along you thought they
liked you that is why they had called, you up to hang out and go out to places you
have never been too.
The whole time you never
knew they we’re saying bad things behind your back where you had shopped and bought your clothes. As far you knew you didn’t have that money like your
friends so you didn’t shop in expensive store like them.
I understand why
my parents didn’t like me hanging out with them but when you’re
young you are immature and you don’t know the difference of friends who are not
and the real true friends.
I just couldn’t believe my
ears when my close friend as I was hearing all the new things or maybe I
already knew what kind of friend they are to me because for reasons we are no
longer friends after we became matured and I have already drifted away from
them even if I am still friends who they know.
As you have become matured
and you hear these things from your close friend you realize those friends they
have mentioned to you is not your friends anymore and no longer your real
friend to keep in touch with as you have grown up to become a better person.
As you talk about the past
and find out why your friends treated you the way they did you realize who your
real friends from the beginning.
