i wonder where would our next sunshine be

some are friends for 12 years now. others, since the khaki-shorts-with-satin-ribonette-running-along-the-sides-and-knee-high-white-socks days.

we parted ways after high school, as others decided to be exposed into the bigger world of Manila and some decided to stay in the comfort of the southern sunshine. that very same sunshine we'd go back to during university breaks. under that sunshine, we only talked about those days we'd spent together, and not much of those we spent separately during college.

now, a very close friend is just waititng to leave for Tokyo for his sandwiched Masteral and PhD in Earthquake Science. and another close friend is leaving sooner for Qatar. and everyone else has plans. i also have plans of leaving.

soon it would be different sunshines for each of us. and that southern sunshine is what we'd only have in common.
