Shortly after I took this photo the memory of an old ice cream commercial came to mind. Remember that old one, when two kids were separated after the boys family moved to another place? The little boy asked "Eh sinong best friend mo dun?" The other boy replied "Syempre ikaw!" Cute.
According to Prof. Water Bayubay of FEU, it's his commercial. Yep! He claimed this one to be his when I reviewed for the Med. Tech Board at Pioneer Review Center. Apparently, the other boy was Gary Valenciano. I don't know if there is any truth to this, but it would have been a nice memory to keep.
Have you ever been separated from your childhood friend when you were a kid? It's tough. Maybe because these are the years that we need someone to share the changes in our lives with.
When it was time to say goodbye to Ate Raquel and the family last night, we didn't really have a problem letting go, because we know that they are going to be in a nice place. But after seeing Mariam and Trisha say goodbye for the last time while, each one was separated by a steel barricade at the airport...man that really had our tear jerked from our eyes. It's sadder than the two mice that sang James Ingram's "Somewhere Out There".
The best of luck to Ate Raq's and the rest of the family. May you find what you are looking for in Canada. We'll miss you all!
