long lost friends

I’ve had the chance to grab my old pals from masscom/unilever via yahoo messenger(thanks to the integrated messenger on yahoo mail)..lalaine and marty…they are 2 great friends and colleagues.. we’ve worked together for the unilever foods when they recently acquired cmc(then) - knorr, lipton, lady’s choice, et.al. Laine handled the bigger accounts - hair products - sunsilk, cream silk, the works!

I remember marty and i would stroll ayala malls and pig out over sisig rice, bulalo, and chicharon bulaklak..i was 10 lbs less then..both marty and lalaine are intelligent women who would strip off the clothes of the media sellers when negotiating…now they’re both 2 successful young professionals..

Marty is with a dsitribution company and is now leading marketing for multinational brands. laine on the other hand currently owns her ad agency and is happily married with her long term bf with a beautiful kid - wayne.

It is amazing how people can change in just a couple of years. it is such a wonder how a couple of years could add wisdom (not to mention weight) and maturity. But what astonishes me above all is the value of friendship that you get to keep. Despite countless days and weeks that passed, there are a chosen few that be marked undusted by time…
