Colleague

I'm on training right now with my grade school batchmate. We started last week, on Monday, and it has been fun so far. I'm treating this training as a stepping stone, because after I gained experience through this, I'll transfer to a better-known company. So anyways, before anything else, I'll describe this good friend of mine. Well, he's straight. On the same track with my age, likes computer games. A rocker by heart, he actually taught me the basics of guitar. He looks weird, his hair is long, he looks emo-ish, he doesn't drink alcohol. He looks like this ---->


Which is the very opposite of me. Because I look like some kinda this ---->

I know, right? On the first day, since I don't know anybody yet, we're together. Even though I don't like it. Because we are wearing the suuuper different clothes. And we don't look equal. And we don't belong to the same status. So I decided to befriend some of my colleagues and I was successful. I gained their trusts. On the second day, I was with this group already. Because that's the way it should be. My good friend is with us, but he can't butt in our conversation because the group talks about fashion, political situations, pop, hiphop and rnb, nicole scherzinger, restaurants, Malate, and some normal stuffs. And all he knows about is computer games, rock music and tattoos. And nobody in my "newly" created group is interested with those. We live on the same area, so we always go to the office together. But since the third day, I started making alibis in order avoid him and get to the office alone without some rocker with me. I hate rockers, I don't know why. So anyways, on the fourth day, he was surprised because I came earlier than him because I told him that I won't be able to wait for him at the bus stop because I'm going to visit a sick friend. I just told him that my friend was already released. I think he's mad, I think he knew that I was lying. So anyways, I continued ignoring him at the office, and it was a good thing that we are not team mates so that I have a better excuse for not talking to him that much. I was ignoring him, yeah I'm guilty but I still talk to him during breaks and we go home together so I still talk to him, but I really don't like him. Actually when we applied for that company I was hoping that he won't get the job. I just used him because I wanted someone to accompany me.

Anyways, because he is kinda isolated and he's an emo guy, he didn't survive the call center industry. He only tried the first week of it, and never showed up anymore. I think it's because he doesn't have friends there, or it's because I was ignoring him that made him quit. I might be bad by saying this, but it's the best decision he made --- for me. But he's still my good friend! :)

Best Friend

So a couple of days ago, I earned money from having some people renting my truck. And then of course it's shopping time. So I went home on Sunday, because it's family day. Just when I was about to come back to my best friend's pad on Monday, my truck just won't start! Damn, I don't want to commute! Helloooo? I'm bringing with me lots of load... So I messaged my best friend that I won't be home soon. You know I have a problem with staying home with my folks because it could be so freaking boooring..... So I went out, messaged few of my friends, and then switched to night out mode. That was last Thursday. I was busy looking for a job last Monday, and Tuesday of that week. The last time I saw my best friend was on Tuesday, after I applied for a position in a call center. He was on his early stages of getting sick. His head was extremely aching, according to him, and he couldn't eat. So after I gave him few advises on what to do and what medications to take (since I was in line with the medical field), and eating his unfinished food because I was so super super super hungry at that time, I decided to leave him and go home - cause I was super super tired too. Now wait let's jump to Thursday, there, as I was saying I went out, messaged few of my friends, and have them inviting me to a party or some booze sessions. I was texted by my best friend and requested me to come over and nurse him. I didn't respond because I was so having fun! Hellooo? So anyway, Friday night is a booze night, so please, that's an excuse for me of course.. I went to visit a friend in some place, I was with the guy I've been eyeing for, then we hung out for a moment, then went to a bar. There. So anyway, Saturday night, I felt guilty with what I've done to my best friend, so I messaged him saying I will come over and take care of him. But I received an invite from a friend asking me to come out and check out what's happening in a bar somewhere. So I ditched my good best friend again and went out! He has been messaging me asking where am I? What time will I arrive at? And everything.. I just said that I don't have money for the fare!! He's super sick at that time - his temperature was 39C. Hey, I was so rude, but I had a real good time at the party!
