one-on-one

I can’t overemphasize how much I love talking! I love sharing & listening: intellectual discussions, heart-to-heart conversations, chunky chikahan, basically talking about anything under the sun. Simply put, I just want to be always in the loop when talking about the latest about my friends as much as I want my friends to know the latest about me.

Because of everyone’s busy lives, it has become more convenient to meet friends in groups rather than one-on-one meet-ups. We tend to communicate through group texting instead of personalized messaging. We tend to update friends through Facebook, Multiply or Friendster Profiles every so often rather than the conventional way. I guess these 3 portals have become the conventional way. Personally, I do not update my accounts much but I keep them so friends who highly rely on such tools for updates can keep me posted. I guess I stopped updating/visiting them for various reasons: I felt a sudden attack of feeling of nothingness compared to what my friends have gone; I thought of them as so intrusive (do you really need to post all those stuffs in there?; It’s so time consuming but for me not an efficient way at all to get to know people. 

Anyway, lately I’ve had various one-on-one talks with special people and I think I get more from my two hours worth of heart-to-heart talks with them compared than a week’s company with other people. I can’t thank these people enough: Boss Jon, more than just a coach, you are my mentor. Mommy, need I say more? I love you! Son, can’t thank you enough. I guess we should start on one-on-one meet-ups just so we can keep the updating one another pace going. Mak, although we are the inseparable tandem in the office, I’m still thankful that we find time to have heart-to-heart discussions like what we had this weekend(at the expense of my phone bill - pwede naman mag-usap in person, di pa talaga naghintay ng workweek).

To my other friends, halika, usap tayo?
