Online Relationships...

On line friends? On line lovers? Familiar ba? I know this kind of relationships happen once in a while yet the fact remains it can be.

Sometime in 1999, this friendship was made. I was sixteen then and after all these years... the friendship have truly evolved... from us spending weekends on fun fun fun activities... from overnight outing to billiards to bowling or just simply chill out at Yuga's pad in Bangkal. Now we truly share each other's triumphs and defeats. We have gone this far to even healing broken relationships and keeps on forgiving each other. There were days of zero visibility and yet we always have that connection and bond. Most of all, we never leave no one behind yet we allow them to have their own space and time to be on their own.

How did it started? Well... we have knowned each other through the famous REBELDE.COm to Grabeh.com... who have thought after all these years... we still do have each other as family... There were new additions... there were those who left and we know as time changes and as we have our own different lives we still have each other.

How sure I am? Well... Kuya Alwell and Ate Vicky, Kuya Chuy and Ate Charmaine were online lovers... and after all the odds... they both are happy couple and all of us share the responsibility of rearing and making sure that Heaven, Louis and Thor will grow as a better individual.
Gen and Benee, wow after three long years of separate lives who would ever thought they can still share future together as a couple and even willing to go back to zero just to start all over again. At the end of the day, what is three years compare to eternity?

For Yuga and Me? There's more to us being single... hehehe. Yuga can testify how much the friendship have gone beyond our online community and even his current online communities... and for how far and great he is right now advocating blogging here in the country and outside, we truly are proud of him. "Si Yuga pa... anak nga naman ng Diyos yan..." Well, as for me, I am so assured that this is a friendship for keeps.

And asking for impossible? The reunion last Wednesday and the wedding last Thursday was a great start. Broken relationships? Well, Ali and I are somehow ok. All things that starts well, ends well. We have one great friendship then, we are still not there really friends... but we're getting there... in time. And for whatever happened in the past, I think it helps us become better and stronger... even the friendship becomes more enduring. With Tin's addition to the group, and surely more will, as we expand and grow in our own pace... and someday settling down.

Online relationships is a once in a lifetime opportunity... I know for I have seen few... at the end of the day, its how much you make things work and how much love you have given into it that matters. Compatibility and backgrounds are just secondary.

Hay... wish Kuya Chuy and Ate Charms were there... one day... soon...
