Maybe friendship isn’t really a myth after all
Jason loves me. He will do anything for me.
And I believe that.

Today was great. At around noontime I headed to my dorm to drop off the stuff I bought yesterday, as well as to bring in the clothes I’m going to wear to the ORSEM. While I was on my way, Chris sent me an SMS asking if I could go to Rockwell with him and maybe Stephen. Since I want to hang out with Chris as much as I can before he leaves for Boston U, I told him that I’d be there when I’m done fixing up my things at dorm.
Moving my stuff in was such a bitch. It was just my marvellous luck that the building administration chose to do a maintenance check on the elevator on the very day I decide to move my stuff in. Since my room is located on the fourth floor, I had to climb up four flights of stairs three times. I know I should’ve been grateful for the exercise but I felt like it was a waste since the only thing I ate so far was a slice of oreo cheesecake. I hate it when I’m doing something that burns calories when I have no calories to burn. It only makes me feel dizzy afterwards.
But I think it would be a good idea to skip the elevator during my freshman year and use the stairs. Considering that I am very susceptible to quick weight gain and all.
I made for Rockwell once I freshened myself up (thank God I chose to bring my new toiletries to the dorm too). Met up Chris at Page One, and he didn’t have to tell me; I could already kind of guess that he was there. So when I got there, I was surprised to see that he was with his younger sisters and their rep friends.
Apparently, his mom made him “baby-sit” them when she found out that he wasn’t doing anything today. “They’re nice, but they have their own world,” Chris told me. “They’re like little kids! Which is why I needed a friend to come along with me.”
We saw Bruce Almighty (the second time for me) and had some sisig at Dencio’s afterwards. I found the whole “baby-sitting” experience rather amusing because one of Chris’ sisters friends, Eina, has this huge crush on him. And I could tell that she resented my presence because she wasn’t as friendly with me as the other girls. Hehehe. 
I obviously don’t like Chris in that way so she really has nothing to worry about. But then again, I really don’t think that Chris would ever look at an airheaded high school freshman as a potential true love. Does she seriously think she has a chance with him? Whatever.
Listening to their conversation amused me as well. So much high school drama! They kept gossiping on people from the rep; they thrived on that stuff. To them, gossip as precious as gold, which a new name they gave for “gossip”. “I can’t believe we used to be like them,” Chris said. “It’s scary,” I replied. I met Chris when I was a high school freshman. And now we’re going to be in college. It’s so amazing how fast time flies, and how quickly we evolved from dramatic, immature teenagers to more level-headed and somewhat mature people.
It’s a bummer though, because Chris isn’t sure if he’s still going to Ateneo. 
Apparently, his dad doesn’t want to waste any money on half a sem’s tuition (even though I know they can afford it :P). Oh well. Maybe I can find time to drop by his house every once in a while or something.
Chris actually hugged me before we parted ways. For like, the first time ever. And you know what? It didn’t feel awkward at all. ^_^
I would rather have a few true friends than be acquainted to all the cool party people in the world.

[...] uainted to all the cool party people in the world. read more?] lauryn @ 11:31 am [...]
your friends sound like they care about u, and that’s definitely a cool thing
moving SUCKS.
Laur, what’s with the Jason comment? I only do that is A) I am doing emotional blackmail B) Something wrong or C) Just out of the blue. So which is it? That line kinda worried me. You and Jason okay?
On a different note, that’s funny, about Chris and the little girl.
He’s from what school ba? Kala ko you were from CSR (all-girls)?
And lastly, can you survive without carbo for the next two weeks?
Atkins Diet is one of the few that actually works. 
hey lauren,
seems like you really have a true friend in Paula. She’s the most loyal poster in your site. Oh boy, some people are born lucky. Hope you will be friends forever.
Haha…:D Truth is that Laur and I haven’t met. I just like reading what happens to her daily life…:)
My best bet is (b). I can guess but that would be rude.
Oh and from what I read in fated, how can he say he loves you when he hasn’t shown it in his actions? words are just words. Promises are just promises until actually done.I hope he really loves you. You’ve been through a lot from your past loves.
Paula: Wow, you’re good. Hehe, the answer is B. Nothing is really “wrong” or anything, but I’m just a little disappointed that he hasn’t booked a plane ticket until now. He says he’ll definitely do it tomorrow once finals are over, and I hope he really means it this time. Chris graduated from Xavier. He used to live in my neighborhood during our early high school years, and we met through a mutual friend. And yep, I can live without carbo! I’m not so overly fond of rice anyway.
n: Jason is so far the most sincere guy I’ve ever been with. I believe him when he says he loves me…I guess he just needs to show it more through actions and keeping promises.
hey lauren! yah, its good that you would rather have a few true friends than being acquainted with all the cool party people. besides, i think college will be more of studying than socializing and partying. i dont know, im getting this impression that a lot of freshmen are thinking that college in ateneo will be a big coed party. not that it wont, because i guess somehow it will. but then, how am is supposed to know. in any case lauren, i hope you have a great time in college and take care! if you need me for some reason, im just at the high school ;p
Watch out for the freshmen 15, use the stairs.
