i’ve been wanting to tell a story about a friendship i really treasure. it’s a story with no particular ending yet, so, i could not conclude what the outcome will be at this time. hopefully, it wont end in any way. at one time, i thought it already did.

she was one of the first friends i gained during the scary transition to college. for those excruciating 3 hours, her voice was the only one i could here distinct from the others. it somehow annoyed me but, at least i’ve still got someone to listen to. haha. after the confirmation, we had to choose a pe sched, and blast! there she was, so i talked to her and asked her what pe she’d take. haha. swimming. first year. that’s how we got closer.

due to… uhm. what would you call that? differences? diversity? haha. anyway, we went separate ways. kadiri. so emo. for that span we weren’t exactly what you call ‘friends’, we met other people. and those 'other people’ weren’t still the ones we could stay with. not the ones we thought we’d forever be friends with.

hung up on the same situation, we crossed paths again. kadiri talaga amp. haha. and guess what brought us closer. no, it aint the 7am sked. haha. somehow, it did! (diba, girl?) ipo brought us closer. ;) haha.

it was that one day, that we knew was coming. the day we 'decided to be friends forever’. some time in november 09.

so. y'kno how it goes with friendship. funny times, tambay rito, punta don. talk and talk. it was just then that we realized we have a lot in common. no, not just a lot. almost everything. haha. :)) we dont just finish each other’s sentences off, we know what we are thinking, even without speaking. we gots mental telepathy, yuh! :)) we almost always tell the other what the other already is going to say. that, is so creepy, we already thought of consulting… a dark magician. :)) kidding. we love stayin in one place. just thinkin. not really speaking with each other. we love eating. and drinking. haha. we share the same insights. always. gawd. kaya ang hirap din gumawa ng thesis eh! :))

she’s really somebody i could talk to with just about anything. anything. even the weirdest, most bizarre things in the universe. and we wont think it weird. 'cause we think alike. haha. she’s somebody i could completely be honest with. completely honest. y'kno the thing they said about friends.. the one saying.. if she’s a true friend, she’d.. what was that again? ugh. she’d be brave enough to hurt you because it’s for your own good. something like that. we are like that to each other. haha. we tell it to each other’s pug and oblong faces that, “you are panget!”, “ang taba mo!”, “di bagay sayo, ang panget mo kase. ang liit mo kase. ang taba mo kase.” haha. ang saya lang e. amp.

i stay with her, not only because of these things. i admit, there really are times i’m pissed off with her. and she with me. :)) i stay with her not only because there are no other people to really be that close with. i stay with her not only because we still have thesis to do together. i stay with her, not only because she’s an ex’s relative. duh. i stay with her, not only because we still have a lot of plans together. i stay with her, not only because we have the same circle of friends and that our world now is that small. i stay with her because of the simple reason that i know, i love her and that this friendship really is worth keeping and worth nourishing. :)

naniniwala ako sa udlot eh. shet. we will defy that. we will.
