Oh Juice!

It Started With HIM

TEXT MESSAGE received 4th of July 2006:

Hi sweetie. I'm back in jakarta no matter what we are seeing each other every week.

Love post? Nah. Juicy post. *smirks*

I'm going to tell you about one of my very very good friends. It's been almost 3 years since we last saw each other. His education back in Switzerland is what's keeping us apart. But every vacation, he comes home to Jakarta. We always communicate, he always calls me and we have those super late-night chats on the phone which never seem to finish, but in the span of those 2-something years, all we ever had were phone calls, text messages and the occasional IM's. I have no idea why nature never brought us together to meet again. Even when I was on vacation last year in Jakarta (I was already studying in Cebu by then), he was also around town, but we never managed to see each other.

You see, this friend of mine, was the reason why I'm known as JUICE. Yup, he was the one who came up with it. I vividly remember during 6th Grade when we started calling each other with adjectives starting with the same letter as our first name. And he was the one who first came up with, "Juicy Justine". It has been stuck with me ever since!

The name JUICE you see gracing around your tagboards, comment boxes, usernames. It started with him, hence the title of this post. Since then, everyone in school called me Apple Juice, or Orange Juice. Or whatever related to that.

We've been friends for almost 6 years now. He had to leave for Switzerland after our 8th Grade. But since then, our communication is still intact. No matter how far we were, he would still occasionally call me from Switzerland, have small chats and always texted me from there. The land of EVIAN (umm ok, very irrelevant LOL.)

He's in town right now, but we haven't met. I hope sooner of later we will. I wish it won't be the latter. =D

A fellow blogger friend misinterpreted this post. Hahah. :D I can say this guy is like one of my true friends, the kind of friends you would have all your life. :D Nothing more lol. It's like having a good old friend. LOL. No more misinterpretations please! Haha.. If he reads this, we're really gonna flip just laughing.

♥ Justine
