I just had a coffee and chat with my girl-friend
a while ago. This is one thing that I enjoy
doing once-in-a-blue-moon. Catching up with each
other's lives and activities makes friendship
stronger and more meanl. It was a perfect
bonding time. It did not cost much as well. A
cup of coffee and a couple of hours chat, whew!
We never run out of things to talk about. Do
you also do something like this with your friends?
What else do you do during your bonding time? We
are eyeing at swimming and distance walking next time.

When I bond with my friends we usually go out to eat something or go watch a movie or just hang out. I don't really refer to it as bonding because it's more of a gathering, a hangout, and then everyone goes their separate ways until next time. There may be a bonding vacation coming up soon, and for that, I'm really excited so I guess we will strengthen our friendly relationships by the memories and laughs had while on a stress-free vacation!

Wow! That's a great idea: a vacation with friends.
It's just that as a busy wife and mom, it's so
impossible for me. I used to do this when I was
much younger and single. Thanks for the response.

I love that! What could be better than a cup of coffee and so much laughing, talking, debating and just catching up? Especially if it's someone you enjoy talking to! Not forgetting having dinner, lunch or even breakfast. How pleasant.
Distance walking? Not sure if my friends like that, we prefer sitting I think. I guess walking much around the mall is distance walking too.

Even today I'm going to have lunch with a friend. I hope we will talk a lot. I hate outings without talking.

Hi desiree91. We do distance walking as a
form of exercise. Then we were chatting
while walking. Thanks for the response.

Sometimes, missing each other makes the bonding stronger. We had friends that we haven't seen for months, when we met up a day is not enough though. However, we still have constant communication with them.

I agree with you, distance makes the bond
stronger among friends where the friendship
and loving is real. I miss my friends in
my home country. Since I am living overseas
now I feel like I am missing a lot of time
and fun with them. Thanks for the response.

Yes, this is one of the ways to make friendship and also to maintain friendship. If you can talk much, you will have a lot of friends but if you do not talk, then you will not have much friends. Have a very nice day.

Hahahaha...that sounds exactly like what me and my best friend always do. We were both separated after we were twelve years old because we had to go to different schools. And because of the long distance...we can barely see each other. But every year, we would make it a point to see each other no matter how busy we are that year and it is always and enjoyable time catching up with each other. It is
Some bonds are just impossible to be broken :)

It's wonderful to have some bonding moments with close friends. It is really something worth doing every once in while even if you are too busy to keep the relationship closer and sweeter. Bonding time of course mean enjoying food of all sorts together while engaging in endless chatting about this and that. It could also be done by going out of town together so the bonding time is longer and more memorable.
I love to do this also with my friend.This is cool,though it's simple.Just a cup of tea and we find a comfortable place to sit and talk,then going to enjoy a big meal.Wow,the moments are great and i really cherish those times.
