Deep and Lasting Friendship

It's really a great feeling when you know that there is someone who really cares, someone who lifts you up when you're feeling down, who reaches out each time you fall. I cannot put into enough words the deep and lasting friendship I have found in one of my bestfriends, Mareng Aieen. She may not be the perfect  woman but I could say she's a perfect friend. She knew my every weakness and the problems I've been dealt in the road of life and love.  She listened to my dreams and understood my wonders. Not once did she interrupt me or tell me I was wrong. She really understood what I was going through and promised she'd stay forever.

We talked this afternoon and once again had told her about my worries and being impatient in God's perfect time. I told her I am sorry for disturbing her and being stupid of discussing the same topic again and again. I am always grateful that she understood. Her words of wisdom really touched me and brought tears in my eyes while we were chatting. She told me that last Saturday when she attended prayer meeting, had suddenly remembered me and in an instant she prayed to God that He will touch the heart of someone I love to stop the agony of making us wait for each other and if we are meant to be, He will make a way and this year will be a very good and blissful year for both of us. Tears kept falling from my eyes when she told me she really wanted me to be happy because I deserved it. She knows what I've gone through and for her it is just but proper for me to be rewarded by God for having a good heart and faith in Him. I excused myself for a while because I could not resist shedding tears in front of desktop.

Lately, she asked me if I know the song "Remember Me This Way" and told her I did. It is really a nice song and she dedicated it to me.



Distance is not a hindrance for keeping our friendship alive and I would always grateful to the technology being a big part of making us more closer. I would always give praise and thanks to God for BFF Aieen, who has graced my life with wisdom, love and laughter since we met. When my life is going well, I can't wait to tell her; when I am hurting, she consoles me, and when I have failed, she accepts.

What a wonderful feeling to have you in my life with GOD!!!

Hanging Out with Friends

     Hanging out with my friends is one of the best bonding time to deepen more  our friendship. Not only we would enjoy the moment of being together, be it by dining, malling, travelling and watching movies, it would also the time of relaxation and treats for our body and mind from a stressful day of working. My best buddies in my workplace were assigned from different departments and others have different work shifts. Due to time constraint, getting a gimmick time together quite hard for us. But we'd managed it a couple of times. 

     The first was last April 30 of this year. We hung out at Trinoma Mall as per agreed. Though it wasn't perfect one because we're not really satisfied to the limited time we spent with, I'm still happy for the time we've been together. We dined at Congo Grille and enjoyed the crispy pata, pork sisig, sinigang na ulo ng salmon  sa miso, and then one nestea tower as drinks plus leche plan as dessert. To summed it up, it was really a great dinner then. With much gusto, we also ordered two buckets of San Mig Light with sizzling sisig and calamares as pulutan.

     We paused for a while just to have snapshots moment.

       Months have passed but we haven't planned yet when will be the next evening hang out. Until one day, I've got a feeling that the second chance of hanging out with my friends is coming. I asked my friends and suggested them what I'm planning. Surprisingly, the date I'd chosen to be the perfect movie date with them was accepted.

     Last November 25, 2009 as what we had agreed, we went to SM Fairview to watch the New Moon movie. Joy did not join with us because she's not feeling well.

 

our movie tickets

     Rachella and I had no photos taken near the movie house because we dropped in on Sun Cellular outlet to pay my monthly postpaid line and inquire some thing Rachella needs.

     After the movie we looked for a restaurant and agreed to eat at Buckaroo's Grilled Pizza & Burger.

We had meat platter (chicken, pork and beef ribs), rice, coleslaw, mixed vegetables, vanilla shake and iced tea for dinner. And we enjoyed it!

 

     After dinner we decided to go home. We made our way to a christmas decor and have a last minute of photo shoots.

Strolling with Jack

Yesterday when I opened my facebook account I saw a buddypoke posted by Jack on my wall. I'm glad when she invited me to stroll even it's just in buddypoke application of facebook. 

 Jack and I went for a drive around town

Actually it never crossed my mind that somebody will respond on my post, a buddypoke saying I'm feeling tired. But I'm glad she did. It really reminds me of the things we did before like strolling around the town of Angono, Rizal and she's the driver. I miss the time when we did crazy things. We went to her friends at dawn when Ate Esther and Jamers were sleeping. I could still remember the time when Jack, Joy and I enjoyed our talks and giggles in the middle of the night at the sala of Ate Esther's house. When we're hungry, we just go out of the house and go to Jusay's Bakery near the town plaza and buy pandesal and juice. It's too late at night but we didn't care of walking down the street for all we know we're safe. I could say that Jack was my best confidante during my stay in Ate Esther's house when Jack was still single. We shared secrets and ideas. Jack and Joy stayed by my side and comforted me when my ex-boyfriend and I broke-up.  We were at their bedroom then, had a bottle of alcoholic drinks and soon get drunk. Being in the spirit of alcohol, I couldn't stop myself in pouring out all my heartaches to them. I cried and cried until they're carried away on what I felt. Joy comforted me by wrapping her arms around me. I saw tears falling from her eyes and for that I knew how Joy did understand me. Jack comforted me by her encouraging words. I woke up the following day with eye bags and dark circles added with headache caused by my drinking.

Now, we only communicate through web chat when both of us are online. I do really miss her and the things we did before. But somehow that's life, time came when we'd to separate ways and face our lives differently. Still, memories will still be a memories... but have to reminisce it once in a while. A very touching and inspiring life when you know there is someone who cares.

Movie Date with Friends

I asked my friends out on a movie date on November 25, 2009 after office hour. I'm glad they'd agreed with my plan. The last time I went to a movie theater was last year when Mareng Aieen and I watched the "twilight" movie. And now looking forward to the second movie of the twilight saga "new moon." While waiting, I read the synopsis and watch the trailer of the said movie.

A Friend is a Gift of GOD

 ...For in this world of trouble that is filled with anxious care

Everybody needs a friend in whom they're free to share

The little secret heartaches that lay heavy on their mind,

Not just a mere acquaintances

But someone who's just "just our kind" ---

For, somehow, in His charity and wisdom always sends

A sense of understanding and the power of perception

And mixes these fine qualities with kindness and affection

So when we need sympathy or a friendly hand to touch

Or an ear that listens tenderly

And speak words that mean so much,

We seek our true and trusted friend in the knowledge that we'll find

A heart that's sympathetic and all understanding mind...

And often just without a word there seems to be union,

Of thoughts and kindred feelings

For God gives true friend communion.

For my BFF Aieen

For my friend RR

Friend, thank you so much for always being there. I may not say it often but I’m truly grateful to God for having you in my life. It really unexplainable how I am confident and at ease in telling you how I feel, who I am, and how I’m scared of anything. We can’t deny that we are just starting the seed of friendship but I believe it’s a friendship that will bloom and bear fruit of happiness and goodness for a lifetime. Maybe it is God’s way of telling me that you’re such a precious gift from Above that I should be thankful of.

I could say that your words of wisdom, encouragement, hope, and inspiration helped me a lot to go through with the heartaches, confusion, burden and pain I am experiencing right now. Cause deep inside I am so inspired by your words that it gave me hope, courage and belief that life is beautiful. To tell you honestly, one of the weapons I have in struggling life’s difficulties ever since is the words of encouragement, inspiration, faith and hope coming from the people who believe I can do it. That’s the only way I feel I am strong enough to keep going and moving on with my life.

And for this sad moment of my life and you’re always there, willing to lend a helping hand, ready to give a comforting hug, wiling to wipe my tears and ready to listen tenderly, I owe you a lot. Thank you so much, friend. Love you, my friend. You will always be in my heart and be remembered forever.

Sana di ka magsasawang makinig at magbigay sa akin ng lakas ng loob na makakaya ko to. Pasensya na din at naiistorbo na kita sa kakulitan ko na para na akong sirang plaka na paulit ulit na lang. Tanging un na lang ang alam kong paraan para kahit papano maibsan ang sakit na nararamdaman ko ngaun.
