a tribute to my friends

my vacation's been a drag. I WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!! i want to think about worthwhile things, and not about stuff that i can't do anything about.


two more days and it's a new year once again. looks like i won't be able to settle everything before the year ends. hey, this is NOT my fault. if you were to ask me, i want to settle everything now. i don't want my problems haunting me come 2007. i want a fresh new start.


yesterday, i was checking out some of the conversations i had with my friends in Yahoo! Messenger back in high school. and i realized I MISS THEM SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! every single one of them. most esp. those who are near my heart and very dear to me (not that everyone's not dear to me or what,just that some stand out among the rest). when i was going through the messages yesterday, i really felt nostalgic. but in a good way. i'm missing my friends so much. it's been a while since i got to spend time with them THAT WE WERE ALL PRESENT. phew! if only i can make the font size any bigger than what Blogger can do. so they would know and notice this entry, if ever they are reading my blog (haha asa pa ako dun!). anyway, the holiday spirit is still in the air anyway. just little shoutouts to my friends who randomly crossed my mind.


Galbes: miheck im so thankful i met you and that we became close. i remember back in 3rd grade, we were among those who go to school early because we live quite far from school. we always played chinese garter and jumprope early in the morning. you happened to always be the "mother" in the team because you were so good with chinese garter even if the height was taller than you were (hehe), but still you manage to reach it and finish the game. thanks for the patience when we were just starting to be close back in 4th grade. i know you had some rough time with the crew (my doing hehe sowi >.<), but i never knew that you were the one who's going to be my best friend for the rest of my life in Uno (and until now actually hehe). *sigh* irony in life. thanks for sticking out for me and for being HONEST with me back in 5th grade when my so-called "best friend" and i were having problems already that i really had no idea of. thanks for staying by my side back in 6th grade when our friendship was on the rocks. thanks to mary grace's advice, i learned to give you more credit than i was actually giving you. sorry if i gave you a really hard time..hehe thanks for still remaining by my side back in our senior year. even though you were near your limit, still you stayed. and i'm glad you did. i'm probably not going to meet someone like you again who can keep up with my mood and who knows me really well. most importantly, now that i am currently facing the most challenging thing that can happen to me, i'm glad you're here with me. i would not want it any other way. :) now i know how important you are in my life, i plan to take better care of our friendship. no matter what happens, i'm here for you. anytime, anywhere. :)

717: you were the first one who taught me pain. and i'm gald you did. because of it, i learned to be strong about one of life's challenges -- ____. thanks for the time before as well. for the nice chats and text messages. and for the encouraging words you gave me before. see you around campus. ;)

Captain: you have no idea how you touched my life. nyahahaha how dramatic. but seriously, you have no idea. it was a nice feeling getting to know you back in sophomore year. i helped you with our biology class. you always asked for my biology and filipino notes. i remember the time when you, me, and Dogs were discussing something in filipino class and we were laughing that time, even if we were caught by the teacher for we we seated three seats in front of the class. :)) thanks for being a wonderful seatmate, for teaching me in our algebra class, and for copying notes for me in algebra whenever i left my glasses at home. hehe :) thanks for bugging me as well in class, for making me smile whenever i was quiet and for backing off when i'm not in the mood to tolerate your wisecracks. thanks for driving safely when i rode the car you were driving for the first time. i felt safe, thanks. :) i remember telling you in one of our conversations in YM about that, didn't i? thanks for changing my views about jocks in our school. i guess you're smart, though you're quite lazy back in high school. though now in college,i know you're not anymore. :) thanks for touching my life back in senior year. you were one of the people who made it colorful and memorable. though we had some minor setbacks, but we're still good now. you are one of the people who i rant to recently, thanks for that. :)

twins: we have been friends for a long, long time already. we grew up together though we suddenly had a gap back in our high-school years. wonder what happened back then. haha. anyway, i'm glad that before our high-school days ended, we somehow were able to get back the friendship we have. Younger, thanks for the advices you have given me and for helping me get back to reality. ;) Elder, though we don't talk that often i appreciate the things you say to me. i hope this time that now we are in college, there won't be lapses like it did back in high school, ayt?

shrek: we have suddenly turned cold with each other. it's ok. i just hope we'd still be able to patch things up. this is not worth losing our friendship over. i wish we'd be given the chance to mend everything. i'm willing to as long as you are too. good luck with your endeavors now. i'm sorry i can't be there for you. though i'm not sure you need me to. but still, i'm around if ever i can be of help, ayt? :) i miss you, friend.

bezzie's bro: though we don't talk often, i'm glad we were given the chance when we attended the wedding. i never knew we had a common experience in life. i'm really glad we had a chance to talk. though i hope that won't be the first and last. wishing there would be more next times. :D take care of your health, ayt? don't push yourself to the limit. i'm just a text or phone call away if you need someone to talk to. :)

bezzie: thank god we still clung to each other after all these years. haha. though we also had our share of minor setbacks, i'm glad we still were able to work things out. and we're still good. hahaha. i know those setbacks made our friendship stronger and i know we both learned something from them. thanks, bezzie. you're like a sister to me already because we also grew up together. i happened to read some of the letters we used to give each other back in grade school, and the memories made me smile. i hope we'd have the time to look back at them together sometime. :)


drummer: yeah i know i have a lot of shortcomings already. i'm sorry. i'm willing to make up for them anyway. :D at first, i thought i'd be with you guys in UST and we'd get to have lunch together in KFC and have all the gravy we want. hahaha. i'm sorry. i'm really sorry. >.< i miss the times when we have our "pancit canton" snacks in Betchot before we have our tutor with Poch. the times when we would talk over the phone until the wee hours at night. that was the first time i ever slept late just because of talking over the phone. haha. and as if we were making sense of what we're talking about. we're just actually counting the yawns the other makes. and i remember i'm hte one that makes the most. hehe. i really miss you!!! i hope we could hang out again like we did back in high school. btw, is poch still alive? because i haven't heard from him for quite some time.

guybes: thanks for everything. for the memories and moments. i know we're on the rocks. just want you to know i'm not mad. you're still my bes. nothing's going to change that. i hope i made a difference in your life. somehow someway. take care of yourself. i love you.more than you'll ever know. :')
