tatit is one of my best friends.  we grew up in the same subdivision in cdo and have known each other since high school (nursery actually but we weren't close yet at that time), went to the same college and worked in the same industry until three years ago when she decided to shift careers and move to davao.  in the course of our friendship, we've gone through the funniest, corniest, merriest, saddest, turbulent and craziest of times.

* * * * *

one of my unforgettable moments with tatit: lining up outside the blue eagle gym to get tickets for the 2002 uaap finals game3.  along with her officemates from iberpacific(soluziona now), we camped out and lined up the night before the tickets were to be released at 8am.  straight from work, we honestly thought we would be the first ones in line when we went inside the campus by 7ish to park the car before eating out for dinner that night but lo! we saw numerous people ahead of us already.  as it turned out, we were #80-something in that line.  the first one lined up earlier in the afternoon at 5pm!  we went to work the next day so late and groggy from lack of sleep but it was well worth it since we won the championship that season. talk about fanatics! hahaha!
