The Night We Met Gabbi



I first met Gabbi almost 5 years ago when she was still in her mom’s womb. Janet, her mom, and I would have short chats while we wait for the elevators at Cityland.
The next time I met Gabbi (she was two months old) I was awed by her cute cheeks. In some mornings, I would see them at the corridor being cradled by her mom and they would go to our roofdeck every morning for some sunshine.

Time flew fast. Two years back, I was surprised to see that little angel run around, talk and laugh. When she was just about three years old, Janet finally introduced me to her. Afterwhich, we would exchange in the corridor, the condo lobby and even at Starbucks Galleria.

Me and my roommates (6 of them) would always remember that fateful “Bagyong Milenyo” night. We were singing our hearts out, with our main door opened, when Gabbi peeped out of their condo. She must have been intrigued by the angelic voices we had or should I say the noise we made.

I fetched her at their condo and that was the start of a wonderful “barkadahan” with her. Since then, she would visit us some weeknights and we would play around. Her wittiness would always bring us to laughter.

Few of Gabbi’s Famous Moments with us are:
1. Hide and seek
2. Twister board game (she would let the other girls move their hand/foot so she can place hers)
3. “Pretend Pretend” – She would pretend to drive us to the beach with pretending to make ”bangga”
4. On a Jollibee night out with me and Tita Gehpot, we asked her who is her bestfriend, she answered you Tita Elline! I asked her who’s her 2nd best friend, she answered Tita Gehpot. Marunong sumagot na bata!

I could go on and on with a list of moments with Gabbi but I guess I’ll just stop at four. We miss her badly since they moved to another condo.

I decided to write something about her and upload her pictures for I know that in a few years more Gabbi will be able to check this out. We miss you Gabbi!
