This morning, I was visited by a very dear and good friend...
I was so happy to see him! Sobra! Kung pwede nga lang to stay with him until the end of the day I would...kaso I am at the office slaving away with tons of docs to file and make...
We've been the best of friends since the last grading period of 2nd year high school...He's the last person I could think of to be a friend...(oh well, maybe next to Pornstar!)...He's not naman suplado or I was not hooked to anyone naman that time...Siguro I was just too serious with studies (yeah right!) then kaya I never took time to really mingle with people other than my classmates...(II-Matapat siya...II-Matulungin ako).
I met him February 14th of 1997 sa Batu-Bato Mt. Resort (thanks for reminding me Best Friend! C”,))…Camping naming nun…Midnight ata yun eh…Out of nowhere itong siraulong ito binati ako ng HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Eh ni hindi ko nga siya kilala! Maraming beses na nag-umepal siya sa akin that night…asar ako that time…pero deep inside nakakatawa…Kasi for the first time may nag-effort na magpapansin sa akin (HAHAHA!)
He was formally introduced to me by Wraich...silang dalawa ang close friends talaga…By Monday the following week, may Butterfingers na ako…by Tuesday may Cadbury na ako…by Wednesday may M&Ms na ko…with matching sign pa sa Autograph ko…(ngek! Uso un non!)…by Thursday, kausap ko na siya ng todo…by Friday, kausap ko na siya sa landline…
I learned that time na may girlfriend na siya…later on, nalaman ko that they broke up because of me…(UYYY…UMIIBIG>>>)…later on, we became closer friends and we constantly talk on the phone, usually tumatagal ng 2-3 hours a night…I’ve learned a great deal about him during those times…I’ve learned to appreciate his presence…I’ve learned to expect his call everyday and every night…In short, I’ve learned to love him big deal…
Eventually, we became an item…Wherever he was, andun ako…wherever I was, andun siya…Maraming naging problema, marami kaming pinag-awayan, maraming beses na nag-cool off kami…pero maraming good memories…We were together for one and a half years…and kahit matagal na yon, I look back with a smile on my face (at may konting galit minsan kasi panget ang reason kung bakit kami tuluyang nag-break!)
Now, my best friend is married to this wonderful woman…and I am committed to a man who I am sure loves me so much…pero nothing would ever change the friendship we share…
It’s always nice having a person who knows you inside and out…it’s nice having a person to lean on during the times when you feel totally down and out…somebody who knows even with the sound of your voice if you’re OK or not…somebody who prays for you at all times…somebody who makes you laugh if you have problems…someone who always reminds you to be strong, to be kind, to be happy, to be just yourself…
I’m so grateful that I have him as my best friend…Kahit pa matagal kaming hindi nagkikita or nagkakausap, I know he’s always there for me…I hurt him so bad, pero I’m thankful that andiyan pa rin siya…I have so much to thank him for…pero I know anything that I could and would say or do will never be enough to express how much I appreciate having a friend like him in my life…
And I want him to know that I will always love him for all the things he was, he is, and he will ever be to me…
I love you Best Friend…
