Girl Talk

In a frantic attempt to recover some old important e-mail at work, I stumbled upon old e-mails between me and my best gals from way back. Those girls I've known since I was twelve.

There was our very first pregnancy. When we thought she was gonna have the first baby in the batch (turned out we were wrong). Back when we called the growing little bump Frodo (LOTR was all the craze at the time).

Then there were the boy issues. Dreamy crushes. Stupid men. Boyfriend-stealing BFFs. And of course my infamous crazy ex-boyfriend. The one who carelessly broke my heart. And made us think "hidupku bagaikan telenovela". Haha.

The girls were there there through it all. Through my unexplainable infatuation with that RHB bank teller (I sanggup wait & withdraw money from buku instead of using the ATM!).

And who could forget Mr. X. Hah.

Those were the days. I miss my girl friends. I miss the e-mails. The long talks. For some reason over the years, we lost that special bond. No longer needing to collectively worry about the uncertainties of the future. Each of us settled down in our own cocoon of love. Perhaps that is why.

So what if your partner is your best friend. You will always need your girlfriends.
