A girl will never be complete without her boodle(a new word I learned..and it’s really a word) of galpals. Just think about it?! Who else will gamely accompany you to the restroom, whenever, wherever? Listen to you rant across the phone line for hours and hours, and even until you see each other the next day. Empathize with your unrequited love stories, drink with you even if they have no reason to drink, laugh at you, cry with you…and all else in between. This is my tribute to 5 girls whom I’ve bonded with since high school. Despite the temporary separation during our college years (and Cyndy’s current Cebu stint), God must have decided that I still need them. These are my people.
me & superBESt
Siangie: My ultimate best friend. She’s my pick-me-up person. The one I would call whenever I find myself in such horrid situations. A lot of people mistake her as mataray or maldita…okay, they made no mistake at all…hehehe. But that’s just an impression. In reality, she is this kind, approachable, down-to-earth, UN-diva person who’s also as beautiful as she is talented. Yep, she has a lot hidden under her sleeves. If I were stuck on an island with a friend, I’d want that friend to be her. Aside from the fact that she’s my best friend (a given reason), she’s definitely a survivor.
the mayee we know: kalog!!! (still pretty despite the silly faces)
Mayee: the quintessential beauty and brains, however, she’s WAY beyond that. Mayee just luuuuvs to talk and luuuuuvs to listen. Don’t be fooled by such serene and ethereal exterior, she’s definitely a nut inside. Most of the time, Mayee is like the preschoolers she’s teaching– wide-eyed to the fascinating things in life, which really makes her someone who appreciates it, as a whole.
jun nacua-mr. debbie-me twinx since 6th grade
Debbie: The tough cookie, Debbie is my twin since the 6th grade. You may be asking why, well, it will take me forever to tell you that! hahaha…she has always been strong in alot of ways, but that doesn’t make her hard. She’s like ice cream covered in hard chocoloate fudge…mushy on the inside. We both love to sing, but she reigns as the Karaoke Queen! Whenever she’s upset, she cooks/bakes…that’s why we’re always more than happy to comfort her whenever she’s down (hahaha!!!)
with bananaman d back of nana
Nana: Soft-spoken but stern, Nana was my movie date back in high school, and my favorite partner when it comes to people-watching. Very unpretentious and more often than not, careful with the decisions she make. Though she may stumble a lot of times, she has always been determined to get up and get on with her life.
the gorgeous & talented cyndy!
Cyndy: Smart-ass and city chic, that’s definitely Cyndy. She’s very much responsible and at times, a bit headstrong, but so far, that has come to her advantage. If there’s anyone among my friends that can survive life in a big city, that would be Cyndy. We are all BIG talkers in our small circle, but it’s this girl who definitely has a lot to say (and people would really shut up and listen). Cyndy has gone through tough times, but that hasn’t stopped her from being on top of her game. She has been greatly missed lately since she’s based in Cebu.
I guess it’s safe to say that I wouldn’t be the person I am now if it weren’t for them. They, like the rest of the human population, have their flaws too, but this time I would just like to celebrate friendship and sisterhood (hence, no bad stuff to see in here.. ;p). –> freynds, thanks for the wonderful (and horribly humiliating) experiences we’ve shared. I’m just relieved that no amount of distance, time, or absence sa mga dates nato, could ever stop us from conquering the world…together. Ayus! Love yah!
