So, I am not sure exactly when is the date of our anniversary or remember exactly when the five of us began the journey of our friendship. But I remember that it was in 1997 at Satya Wacana when we first met. Of course back then, we were younger, in different styles and shapes. We took different directions after the college. Two of us got married to each other while the rest remain single. Some of us got jobs in different cities and the other fought to finish the study. Despite our distance, we stayed in touch. But not until two years ago we re-assembled and started building again our long and winding friendship.
Last night we were able to meet up, supposedly to celebrate the 11th anniversary of our friendship. There was some miscommunication at the beginning, as always, but it was sorted out. We went out to dinner at a small restaurant and talked about random things in life. As we talked to each other, I saw how time and life has shaped us into our present states. Troubles are always come and go, arguments are there to spices up, laughter brings joyous wrinkles in our faces, and happiness touches and changes the color of our souls.
We do have different ideas about how to live our lives, we do have things we dislike toward each other, and of course we do have different personalities that many times hit each other’s nerves. But at the end, we do have one thing in common that stick our butts together. People call it love.

You guys need a nickname...!! Or do you already have one??
I love how you revisit the early days of your friendship. It's important to remember anniversaries. They remind of to enjoy the now, because it's passing by so quickly.
