When I'm down, I sometimes feel alone. I pity myself for not having someone to share my baggages with, not having someone to help me with my troubles. I forget the fact that my family's always with me. That I have lots and lots of friends. Realizing it, I thought I've got to be reminded of how lucky I am to have them. Now, I'm making a list of my friends in random and how they help me in their own ways.
- Iyaya. I met her when we both joined the Legion of Mary, a church organization, when we were in college. Since then, she's been one of my closest and trusted friends. We like doing things together like watching movies, going away, and talking about anything (from our dreams to trivial things). She's one of the few people I'm comfortable to be with. We can spend a day without talking with each other not feeling awkward. Iya treats me like a sister. I think she's my soul sister. Though we sometimes have misunderstandings; we still love each other at the end of day.
- Donna Jane. She's my first college friend I met during our guidance test at Miriam. Our first conversation was so memorable. We didn't know that a small talk of two persons who just met for the first time could be the start of a great friendship. We were destined to be classmates in first year. In our second year, we were separated; but, it didn't stop us from being friends. We might have different professions now; but, we still get along. We complement each other. We care for each other.
- My Suysuy. Cettie was my blockmate for three years. I guess we got on as friends because we both want a simple life. We dislike complexities. All we want is to laugh and crack our corniest jokes. With her, I can be a kid again. I can be careless. She helped me learn what matters in life. I learned to appreciate the simple but the most important things - the smell of flowers, the sunrise, and the smile of children. I'm glad we still keep in touch despite her busy schedule. I haven't seen her for a year now; I really miss her.
