GAMJAFAH Now
Monday, November 24th, 2008GAMJAFAH PACCYMAC. The full name of what was then a “barkada” of 8 pre-teen girls. After our high school graduation a lot of life-changing experiences happened. We parted ways to get our respective college education. Each one tried to find one’s self while away from each other. We learned our own lessons and found individual strategies in dealing with life and the bigger world.
Gaea Hansel is going for the dream of being a “doctor without borders.”
Ava was on “AWOL” for some time. Being the group’s baby, we were all worried about her welfare. As time passed we just left everything to the care of Our Great Friend. We tried to cope with our feelings of uncertainty by celebrating Ebyang’s birthdays even if she was not around, took videos of it, posted it online and sending her messages thru email or Friendster with the hopes that she will see it. After almost four years, Ava re-appeared to the shock & joy of everybody. We hurriedly met up with her but then some things changed already. She got married but none of us were there to witness, much to the aghast for most of us. Until now we are still coping with the said changes and it is like a newly found friendship again.
Ma. Celeste is honing her skills as the beloved Teacher Macy. ‘
Juvy is now always seen in Friendster wearing a veil and is a practicing nurse awayf from home.
Abigail June is applying her college course working in the field nowadays.
Felisa Jyl is still being miserable trying to earn her keep.
Alexa Thea is so much into her job and at the same time enjoying life with her travels and as a doting aunt.
Hazel proceeded with Law school and just took the Bar exams. We are praying for her success. But again, she got married on her own accord and it hurts that some of us were not informed about it.
This only implies that we are individuals living our own lives here. Nobody needs to ask for permission in committing certain life-changing decisions. We respect each others actions. But it would lessen misunderstanding if only we will allow each other to share one’s happiness, struggles, pains or just the quality time spent together.
