...best times of my life...

my apologies to ms. romina enopia. i missed her out in my earlier post. i met romina at 360. she goes by the name of "diwata".

also, sofia rodriguez. only 13 yrs old but has the mind of a person my age. i can easily connect with sofia (or skittles at 360). sofia is sweet, bubbly, burgis. but she never fails to cheer me up on my FB chatbox. in fact, she is my favorite chatmate.

.......

leaving libera360 gave so much sadness to me because i knew i would never meet new friends anymore. i wrote jon de castro in private and requested that he delete my account as i felt i was not part of the team anymore on that site. surprisingly, jon wrote something to this effect - that nobody was leaving nor he would terminate any membership (that would be me) of any libera member. and i thanked him for that.

however, eric, chix, romina and the rest formed another group which we called "st. phillip's circle". here, we were like prisoners able to get some fresh air from our cells, we let our hair down, we were fans, crazy fans of libera. we were able to express ourselves without getting negative comments from anyone. eric pazziuagan created a chatbox for us. it was a riot when we're all online and we all go to st. phillip's chatbox. we had different "idols" but mostly, a lot of us were tom cully fans, eric, chix and i were - romina loved liam, von cheered for joe snelling, tina was neutral, and i can't recall now who doris and riel liked in libera. sofia is solid josh madine but she never joined us in our chats.

we never had serious talks there at the chatbox. then someone (was it me?) thought about the idea of calling the boys names - and this was just IN THE SPIRIT OF FUN.... there was nothing to talk about anymore. we all loved and appreciated their music so now it was time to go to more crazy talks - we called tom "autistic", josh "juicy" but i referred to him as josh "bading", we imagined him and tom to be gays, hah hah. as for liam, we voted to call him "walking doll" as he's really a doll esp if you watch the dvd-leiden vid. i once called him "bruha" for screaming at the side on the song "stay with me". oh, we had so much fun. sometimes i would just laugh before retiring to bed.

sadly, people started to get busy. i was the only one who wasn't. eric, back to his teaching at holy trinity univ., romina also back to teaching at st. theresa's college, chix back to being an architecture student, doris back to her job, riel back to school in UP los banos to continue her vet med degree and von to his nursing profession. haaay, it got so lonely but sofia was there to cheer me up. and so was tina (in italy). tina and i continued to communicate with each other, exchanging crazy jokes about the boys, trading links (well, she gave me so many interesting links..)

after the holidays, what better way to continue this beautiful friendship but to see each other personally.. i had the chance to meet chix first. it was a very brief encounter then followed by chix and me to see romina at st. theresa's. we had dinner later and talked more about libera matters..

romina had the best seat during the PICC concert so she was gracious to have pointed where tom, josh, liam, miniben were positioned. chix wasn't able to go to PICC but went to cebu just for their concert. both went to the meet and greet at the podium last year. i wasn't able to simply because i didn't know. we were supposed to watch the rachel ann go/jed maddela concert but went to early so we killed time in makati. little did i know libera was just at the podium. and i missed the chance to see tom cully. i regretted it up to this day.
