Friends around the world

My high school classmate Haziel described me as gregarious. Well, yes I am! I consider myself sociable or better term, friendly.

God has richly blessed me with so many friends. I treat them as my treasures. Hindi ako mayaman pero sa kaibigan, I am truly blessed! I really thank God for giving me genuine friendships, walang halong showbiz! Haha

All these years, I've concluded that friends are important to me. I have shared good times with my friends, attended birthdays, weddings, reunions and other celebrations. Sometimes, the event is just so simple, you have to accomodate a friend to a place or you eat with them with calamares na mabibili sa kanto, squid balls or fish balls or sometimes mais or chicharon and just sit, relax and chat (a chat that will last a day!). Sometimes, there are unscheduled overnights, you have to have sleep overs as soon as possible for a heart to heart talk because of tooot, honestly because of lovelife, because of guys! Or sometimes for the reason of missing each other, you go to their house, visit them, talk to them and eat everything that their fridge can offer. There are also moments like confinement in a hospital or even funerals, these sad moments are important for me to because these are the times you need your firends' presence the most. Their shoulders, their hankies, their advice, their words of wisdom, or simply their naughtiness to make you laugh in these sad moments.

Truly we need our friends beside us but what if some of your friends are not with you anymore for some reason?

Ahh, I wanna cry, cry so loud that people can hear it and understand my situation and see my heart. Honestly I am missing some great friends, hay life...

This month of March is truly the month of march. My elementary classmate and long time friend Jianicka went to Australia to work. She did it sacrificially for her family. Though I can feel her loneliness, as one of her good friends, I can't do a thing to ease the loneliness, the homesickness that she's experiencing right now. We just keep forwarding messages to her, good messages to let her sanity stay. Hahaha

Jianicka has been a great friend, she's been there for a long time. I've seen her getting fat, thin and sexy and getting toot again. I really miss her coz she's a sister to me. There was this time that I was so broke, just 1 text, Jianicka answered immediately and provided the money for an important matter. I'll never forget that. Of course I paid that, usapan yun but you know the point of running to someone because ypu are really in need of something and you know that someone will never fail you, well, it's Jianicka and yes, she never failed me.

Okay fine, Jianicka left and now, it's Anne...

She's going to Texas for a different reason, to get married. I remember last year when she gave me the news that she's getting married, I was so shocked coz she's the same age as mine, I find her so young for that and even asked her a lot of times if she's really sure about her decision. Nagmistulang nanay ako ng sinabi ko sa kanyang ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang kaning mainit na pag sinubo mo na at nainitan ka, pwede mo pang iluwa. I know you know that coz we keep hearing them from our grandparents.

Anne is marching, I mean leaving the country for that reason. UntiI now, I am half-hearted. Half of my heart is overjoyed because she found the man who will spend the rest of his life with her, her love of her life Harry and ready for that matured decision of settling down and build a family in Texas and half of me is so sad because it's gonna take a long time for us to see each other eye to eye again. Maybe when she comes here in 2010 to visit. Hay, kahit pa sabihin ng iba, mabilis lang yun, para sa'kin matagal yun!

As of the now, I feel so sad coz I miss some great friends who left the country. Hay, namimiss ko na kayo!! I miss the great moments we've shared. I have Donna in Canada, I have ate Janna and ate Pau in CA, I have Angela and Via in New York, I have Dave in Alaska, I have kuya Imman in Chicago, I have Marie Grace in Switzerland, I have Jessica in Japan, Hero and Jona in Tokyo, Jianicka and Maan in Australia and Anne in Texas. Hay, these are my friends around the world. Friends who touched my heart and friends who made a difference in my life in their own little and unique way. They made my journey so memorable that's why it's worth-remembering! I've shared text messages with them, shared great moments, (laughters and tears) and listened to their advice. Hay I miss the moments with you guys!

Though I have two friends who went out of the country this year, I have three friends who are coming in to visit. Jessica is coming this April, kuya Imman is coming as well as Marie Grace. Can't wait to see you great friends, we haven't seen each other for a long time so we have to make it up. We deserve a great reunion that is worth blogging!

Truly, we need great friends. Friends who will laugh with us, cry with us, joke with us, share great stories with us and friends who just sit with us without uttering any word. Their presence are so important for our well being, for our improvement as a person and for growth as living individuals. Though they went abroad to study, work, getting married or for good or for any reason, we remain friends by heart and by soul. Thanks to the web, we continously communicate and keep in touch. Today, I am enjoying great times with great friends who are so makabayan! I'm not sure how long this friendships will last because of some life's decision and unforeseen circumstances but as long as God is the center of the friendship, it will truly last! That's why I like the friendship of David and Jonathan in the Bible, you may read that for a great insight.

This has been taking long, I have to end it, bottomline, MISS YOU ALL FRIENDS!!!
