Two of Us
by The Beatles
Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone’s hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We’re on our way home, we’re on our way home
We’re going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home
We’re on our way home, we’re on our way home
We’re going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We’re on our way home, we’re on our way home
We’re going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We’re on our way home, we’re on our way home
We’re going home

I’ve been blabbering non-stop about AA, it is about time I talk about somebody else. This week’s song is somewhat a happy song… for me, that is. It reminds me of one of my best friends, CO. He’s my forever platonic friend, people wonder why we’re just friends. Haha!
My Duet
We’re the official “songers” of our group. Our voices blend perfectly together when we sing and he’s good with second voices. I remember in college we’d sing the Philippine National Anthem, yep, complete with second voice, just to piss off our friends. Ang kulet! We’d sing on the phone until dawn. We like the same songs. We’d sing songs even on emails (when we’re far away from each other and couldn’t talk on the phone). And our favorite song? Ikaw ang nasa isip ko. Hinahanap-hanap kita. Walang ibang champion ang buhay ko. Nais kong malamam mo na ikaw ang tanging champion ng buhay ko. Champion talaga! Hahaha!
My Enemy
CO and I fought a lot of times already. We fought because of birdwatching, because of a comment he made, because of a book, and our biggest fight was because of a set of nagatives. Haha! I always start it… except for the book. He got mad at me over a book that I gave him as a gift. It was a book about birdwatching and since we just had a fight, I still gave him the book but told him “mag-birdwatching ka mag-isa mo!” He was tempted to return the book, said it was useless because we’re not going birdwatching together. As in nagalit siya talaga sa kin and that scared me. Since then, I’m already careful not to get him mad. Inis and pikon okay lang, but not mad.
My Confidant
CO knows almost everything about me. Tip: if you want to blackmail me, befriend him! Haha! He’d stay awake until the wee hours of the morning just to listen to my stories, secrets, vents. I’d even call him sometimes and just cry my heart out and not say a word. He keeps me sane… I could talk to him about anything and he wouldn’t find it awkward or weird or boring. He know the secret affairs of my heart… my hidden desires, my heartaches, etc. He’s the one I run to when I’m troubled and I always listen to what he has to say and almost always follow his advices. Masunurin akong bata eh! Haha!
My Drinking Buddy
He’s one of my drinking buddies, mine and AA’s actually, and yes we can be trusted to be alone together when we’re drunk. Platonic nga eh! Haha! I remember when we went to Tia Maria’s in Malate one time. It was open bar night and tequila shots kept arriving on our table. We were so drunk we just sat on the floor outside TM’s and kept on laughing because we both couldn’t stand up anymore, as in nakalupasay kami don. Haha! Then after a few minutes, he was missing already. AA looked for him and found him inside a somebody’s car, sleeping. Buti na lang it belonged to AA’s friend. Then when he got CO already, ako naman yung nawala. Haha! He found me inside TM’s again dancing. They went crazy that night because of CO and me! Haha! Same thing also when we went to Quezon. CO locked himself inside the bathroom and fell asleep and I was crying naman on one corner. Para silang may alagang mga bata.
My Activity Partner
Yes it’s fun to travel with friends, with a big group… but sometimes it’s also fun to travel by twos or threes only. CO and I went to Palawan for 9 days with JT. And then we went to Thailand and Cambodia for 14 days. Sometimes we traveled with our other friends MC and JE, who were based in Bangkok that time, but most of the time it’s just the two of us. We went to Majayjay with CB, and then one holy week, we explored Makati and Intramuros with CB also. I don’t have to think and I’m not scared when I’m with him, he takes care of everything for me. And even if we’re with our other friends, it feels like we have our own little world where kami lang ang nagkakaintindihan. We could stay awake on an 8-hour bus drive without getting bored. We’d play mind games, etc. Yun nga lang, he’s too intellectual I sometimes feel stupid. Haha! Too bad I wasn’t able to go Myanmar with him, he went alone. But he was thinking of me lots of time, imagining what would happen if I were there. He missed me! Haha!
Some of our famous lines:
AFM ako eh. (Alcohol-Free Month)
Pano na friendship namin ni AA pag wala ka?
Wag kang matulog! Wag kang matulog! (It’s a song. Haha!)
(In response to wag kang matulog) Hindi ako natutulog. Pinapahinga ko lang mata ko!
Wait lang, may too-toot! (referring to the beeping sound when there’s call-waiting on the phone)

FINALLY! A non AA post, except for reading some lines with his name in it, you did a great job. LOL. I had fun reading about CO. I wish I have a platonic friend like that! Kaso wala eh, sayang! Guys are sometimes more fun to be friends with di ba?
Thanks for sharing. Love your LO btw!
