My best buddy has left for Japan last Sunday.
I have mixed feelings about it. I'm glad that he finally got what he had been working for the most part of his life and that is going to the country which he loves so much and has a great fascination to.
Sad because my "wingman" will be miles away and the gimiks and talks will just never be the same.
I've treated my best bud as my very own brother to the extent that I already consider him a part of the family and my family considers him as one as well. "I watch your back you watch mine" that's how it goes for us. On the group he is the moderator when me or Rob are on the verge of doing something stupid. He poses as the big brother who lends us a hand when we're in need and also serves as the punisher when one of us messes up. He is basically the life of the party because of his signature laughs and "accidental" boastfulness. Although at times he can be such a pain to deal with because of his sudden mood swings. but it's all good.
A few days ago I received an email from him telling me how weird it was to be alone in a foreign country, how there's a lot of hipon there and how he's been doing for the past few days. I told him to just keep safe and be mindful of the people he comes across with.
This week has been a little weird. Mainly because I'm almost running solo when before he's just a text away for a drinking session or just a chill out at the local cafe. So far me and rob's keeping in-touch but it's just not the way it used to be. From the loud obnoxious people that we are when he was still here we're now a more reserved and subtle folks when we go out.
We miss him.
Now don't get me wrong we miss him on a non faggot way nor I am trying be defensive or anything. The trio has been together for as long as 10 years. It's just weird with the sudden change and all. Even if we have very busy schedules from our work and families we still manage to get together and just have a good time regardless where we are or how much money we have. Sometimes even if we're all flat broke we could still mange to have a good time.
It's all about the camaraderie that was formed from years of watching each others backs.
I don't really know how to end this, actually I don't want this to end. But then again it's not the end yet is it? It'll just be a long pause for the TBB's escapades and misadventures. Only time will tell on where we will be in the future, only time will tell if the friendship will be as strong as it was before. But I'm pretty confident that the brotherhood will not be weaken and will only strengthen as it goes.
So on behalf of the TBB, Take care of yourself there and keep safe. The next drinks are on you my friend! (sorry for the title man as you know your "name" already stuck or maybe you'd prefer to be call "bouncy", geez)
Until my next post. Cheers!
