Pretty Lei...

I’m feeling good nowadays. My work is a little bit lighter and coming into order at least. Compared in the last months, I’m lucky to endure the pressures of work. Considering that I’ve been covering much, or almost, the whole of the departments inventory work. Whew, I can a little bit relaxed and enjoy some lighter moments.
Last night, I called somebody very dear to me during my college days. It’s only a blind call and not sure whether I’m calling the right person. I left an unfinished message to their voice box.
To my delight this morning, an e-mail came from her. This is really unthinkable since I didn’t bother to leave any e-mail address to their voice box.
Lea Carmen Rafer Esguerra was a head turner during our college days. With proportionate body, she walks tall, gracefully at the dimly lighted corridors of our INSAME site and everybody will turn their heads for sure. They were two actually, the equally beautiful Francia “Toots” Villaluz. While Lei walks carefully as she is, Toots differently trail her way. Since both came from the same place in Bicol, the “oragons” marked their presence in the institute. I came closer to Lei when we’re in 3rd year, became classmates in some subjects and fancied with common things. She’s a sister to me away from home and I’m a brother to her (I suppose). Getting closer seemed to last long as she sometimes confides to me without hesitation. We joined and participated in some projects which we both enjoy at the most. The association mellowed down when a joined a fraternity and she got committed herself to somebody. Jon was equally talented, bright and the “Alfie Anido” look-alike. I’m glad that Lei found somebody she could trust and go along with. Also a “kaka” on his own right, I believe she’ll be in good hands. Of course, because we're both "Bulakenos". And I’m not mistaken.
At my free times, I searched and googled the web using her maiden name but un-successful. It was only when I tried searching with the “Tormo” as her surname that I finally found her and ended up with a smile.
Hoolala! Friendship comes in so many ways, times and occasions. We became close as we both enjoy similar things and interest, took place in a not so distant past and hopefully relive again. While we’ve gone several changes, stages, distances and phases of life, I’m hoping we could have that friendship again. She’ll remain to be the dearest Lei known to me. One thing is sure though, that I haven't change. I’m still Rene.
