Jorinah Fairytale: The Finale

On our fourth year in college, we started thinking about graduation (well, DUH.)  Of course we knew that the two of us are going to graduate on time because not only are we beautiful - we're both pretty smart too (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.)

Anyway, before anything else, one thing you should know about me is that when I get attached to someone - I get really (and I mean really) attached to her.  I could be a little clingy and stuff.  I guess I always need to have some reassurance that the person I'm attached to (in this case, sadly, it's Jonah) wouldn't leave me and stuff.  Yuck.  I'm sorry, I'm sort of cringing while typing this..  But, no.  The Jorinah fans (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M KIDDING) should know these details for them to understand what's going on inside my head.  ANYWAY, where was I before I rudely interrupted myself..?  Okay, yes, so, I could be a little clingy when I get attached to a person.  Mind, in a room of 50, I only attach myself to a single, special person - so, you see how lucky Jonah is because I chose her to be the person I plaster myself to.

So, having said all of this embarrassing and humiliating details, I could now go to the main point of my story which is: Jorinah approaching their graduation day.  We started talking about stuff that would or might happen after graduation.  We started to ask questions like, "would we still be friends after graduation?"  Jonah was very firm on her answer.  She said "Yes" because she loves me very much and she couldn't imagine living and fulfilling her dreams without me by her side.  So, of course, I was flattered.  Although, I wasn't really surprised.  I mean, I'm pretty awesome so I could understand her devotion to me.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  Kidding aside, we did realize (actually, she made me realize) that we're still going to be friends even after we graduated.  Sure, some stuff would change.  She wouldn't be able to regularly see my face that could captivate trillions of hearts with a smile.  I wouldn't get to pinch her flabby arms  (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA joke lang. Kissy kissy) everyday.  But, so what, right?  This friendship isn't solely based on seeing each other everyday.

Looking back, every great whatever that happened to me in college, every amazing moment - Jonah was always there.  She laughed with me, she laughed at me, she helped me get through stuff.  She doesn't punch me or whatever when I get.. you know.. too clingy HAHAHAHAHA.  She was (is) such a great second mother to me (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!)  So, long story short..  Whatever I do, I don't think I could easily shoo away Jonah from my life.  Hay.  Sometimes being this amazing is such a burden.  You guys have no idea.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA joke!

So, graduation or getting old or whatever, the Jorinah Fairytale would live on... Forever.  HAHAHAAHAHA!

Love,

Iya AKA Rina

First of all, HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Rina talking like that is so weird. It gives me the shivers.

Well of course I knew we would still be friends after graduation. It's not like I have a choice. She's probably gonna hunt me down if I stop contacting her. She's like a little puppy that follows you around and cries when you ignore it. The only difference is Rina would probably eat me instead of crying if I did ignore her.

But kidding aside, I wasn't sad during our college graduation. At least not as sad as I was during the HS one. Sure, I would probably see my friends less now that we don't have to go to classes together. Hell, I probably won't see half of my classmates after graduation but what I did know was the fact that my relationship with my closest friend (Rina) wouldn't change. Maybe it's because of the fact that we kinda already figured out who we are when we met so there is little chance of outgrowing each other like I did some of my HS friends. And you know, there's no drama or hidden animosity between us cause she already knows I'm better than her.....

We've gotten a lot of flack because we're too close. During our internship, we were even the topic of an open forum between the interns because they found it hard to get close to the two of us. Apparently, we have a lot of inside jokes. HAHAHA. I'm not even kidding. An open forum. Stupid right?  But everything turned out well. We made new friends (not always with the same people), we had crushes (thank GOD not with the same people) and we had our fair share of enemies (a lot of time with the same people. Haha!) We do have our own interests and our own lives but there is always gonna be that place where only the two of us are allowed cause, you know, according to the open forum we share a lot of inside jokes.

So yeah, I probably wouldn't have survived a lot of thing if she wasn't there and I probably wouldn't be as "nice" as I am without her. And as much as I hate to admit it, I probably wouldn't be the same without her......

EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! I did not just say that.

Jorinah Fairytale Part II

I made this in our third year.  Aren't we cute?

I didn't know Jonah would be my closest friend in college.  She was clingy and, oh my god, I just need some space sometimes, you know?  HAHAHAHAHAHA.

One of the funniest memories I have of her was during our first week at school.  See, we weren't super close yet so I was treading the water.  So, when I saw her handwriting for the first time, I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud.  It was..  I don't know, I'm going to let her describe her own handwriting for me.  (Hint: Picture a toddler trying to write for the first time in her life.)  I remember grinning and I'm 95% sure I asked her if that's how she really writes.  I'm sorry, I can't recall the exact details but I remember her telling me na "Ang sama mo!" and I was really trying not to burst out in laughter while telling her na wala sa hitsura nya na ganon sya magsulat.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

One of the things that really cemented our friendship was our telebabads.  When something dramatic or big happens (brawls, cat fights, or when one of us is pretty pissed off with someone) we spend an hour or two on the phone dissecting the issue and almost, always wishing that something bigger or more controversial happened.  I know I should be sorry but, let's face it, without these issues..  there's rarely anything to look forward to everyday!  When I think about it, there's no one else (in the block) I would want to share these conversations and talks with.  I think it's always going to be the ugly face of Jonah.

*****************

So if you guys actually read between the lines, you would see how much she admires me. Let's dissect shall we?

1. I didn't know Jonah would be my closest friend in college.

 - REAL MEANING: I am thankful to god that someone like her chose to hang out with someone like me.

2. I was really trying not to burst out in laughter while telling her na wala sa hitsura nya na ganon sya magsulat.

-REAL MEANING: I can't believe her handwriting looks like that when she looks so perfect.

Thanks Rina!

There were a lot of things that happened during our college days and attempting to put all the hilarious moments on one blog post is impossible- mainly because I don't remember half of them. Like everybody else though, we also had our corny I-want-to-hide-under-a-rock-whenever-I-remember phase. Jokes like "Pantog Activate" when one wants to pee and refering to an aircon as "Fuzzy: Only For You" (Yes, tagline included) - we used to think that was hilarious. Freaks right? Still, it was so much better than the others. *cough* Joaqui *cough*

You might think we are anti-social freaks who hate everybody but we did manage to find our special little group. Although we insult each other on a daily basis and do weird things (see first picture of this post), we wouldn't have made it without them.

 

But among these 7 people, the Jorinah Fairytale lives on (HAHAHAHAHA dear god). Rina and I, oddly enough, had our own special connection. We were being pulled together like opposite ends of a magnet- a big magnet cause there is no way a small one can pull Rina being the big thing that she is.

So there, our college days together was mainly made up of backstabbing (but never each other), phone calls, alcohol, barfing Rina, in-love-for-the-first-time Rina (Hahaha!), heartbroken Rina, jealous Rina...

And me. Being the nice angel that I am. :)

And my handwriting is not that bad please. I don't understand why everybody makes fun of my handwriting.
