Friends are forever.

Maler, words can't even describe how thankful I am to you. You have helped me a lot, and I do mean a lot. You have helped me financially, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually, to say the least. You are my safe border every time the world is at its cruelest. You have been there for me from the start, and I know that you are going to be there with me - fight to the finish. 

Sometimes I'd think why are we even best friends. And then it struck me. The reason behind all our arguments are our differences. And that's what made us tick. What other best friends have been through could not compare on what we have undergone. And this somewhat made me whole.

And when there's a word that would express my gratitude to you, I would definitely use it. But for now, I'd say; Thank You. Thank you for sticking with me. Thank you for speaking up for me. And thank you for walking with me, in this narrow road I call life.

You have been my friend for almost six years now, and you have been my best friend. But now, I thought, no, you are not my best friend, you're my soul sister. |

" Yel, mana mi, mangaon nata, so anhi na sa carindirs.".

That is the first message Ming sends me everyday. It's the message that reminded me that I have to hit the showers. The message that reminds me of a new day - a new day full of hope.

Ming has always been my uplifter, even though there's no reason waking up tomorrow morning. He helped me understand the world and its full context. From boys, to sex, to magic, to God, to science - name it, and he readies a full laid answer that puts you out of your misery.

Don't belittle yourself Ming, because, I, we, are grateful to have you in our lives. And i know that someone, somewhere - that goes by the code name, Lex Luthor - is grateful having you around.

How can I ever forget you Ming? I mean, who could forget Ming? Who could ever forget this vicious diva! |

Nicole is the wackiest and silliest friend anyone can have.

Nicole has been my delusional friend and my "about to loose her mind" friend. And I love her for that.

Kul, you are the one that keeps on reminding me that there is going to be tomorrow. You are the one that comforts me, when I need a friend. And the one that reminded me and assured me that I have a friend named Nicole Teves, at times when I think that everyone was giving up on me.

How do you do it Kul? You let problems slip by so easy. You let me think that sorrow was last week's emotion with one crack of a joke. And when I get bored, I'd just sing; " Ayaw pang luod kay wa nakoy load, ayaw pag mahay kay wa koy reply". *laughs

You truly are the cherry on top; the life of the party. |

" Ka hot ni DK ui."

Now there's something you don't hear everyday. And on who else's mouth can you hear those words? None other than Brhya's.

But beneath her really twisted mind, lies a very soft heart.

Was I right in that description? Or was I just blinded by the mask Brhya shows us all?

It's just that sometimes I'd think whether she likes me or not. But then she'll flash that "innocent" smile to you and says, "love love". Then you are smiling again.

Brhya Paige, you have been always been offering your help to me without hesitation. That you'd stop what you're doing just to see me at McDonald's or at Starbucks every time I felt so alone. You have been always so loving and caring, and I admired you for that. And who else would call me "Yela dear"? With that, and above all, I know you are a friend. BTW, I'm sorry if I haven't changed the polish of my nail yet - I have been so busy. *laughs

Don't ever show her a broken nail, or an unpolished finger. Or she will draw you a threatening map to Jeeb's. |

"Guys always notice me because of my boobs".

Oops, Gj did it again. Duher? Who would not notice her boobs? Even dogs go drooling, when Gj is around. Who would not stare at those perfectly curved and perfectly crafted boobs of hers.

Gij, I couldn't describe you more - other than my twilight saga buddy".
You have understood my love for Edward Cullen, and you have been speaking up for me - when I can't think of a perfect comeback - from our critic friends, whenever the subject crossed our minds. 

You have always been so thoughtful Gij. The way you speak; that childish voice of yours soothes me and relaxes me and makes me forget about today's problems. 

I love you, you know that, right? |

"I miss you is an overused phrase, but when Ynez says this to you, it feels just quite right.

Nez, you have understood me and loved me even if I'm not an ordinary friend. You have always been so kind to me, and I appreciate that. 

You have always been there, eager enough to listen to me - I may descibe you as my listening ear. You have been there to listen to me, at times when everyone doesn't even care to bother.

Don't change that Nez, because I have always appreciated that trait of yours. |

And of course; Pagee.

Pagee possesses that bubbly aura and happy go lucky personality - of which I am very thankful.

Pagee, you have always been a comfort to me. Your smile that is like heaven. Your wide smile against your chubby cheeks that had always been like a key to a secret door where only kindred spirits could enter. 

You have always been there Pagee. You have always been so generous, so eager to know on what's been bothering me. You have always been a good counselor when I need one - more like my mom actually.

I hope you won't be bothered about me resting my head on your boobs, because I will always be doing that for the rest of my life. |


I thank you all for those encouragements that helped me finished this book.

JK!!

Friends, I may not say much but I love you all. And you all should know that there's always a special seat for you in my hypothalamus.
