About a friend…

March 26, 2007 9:00 am


I am in the office, checking the reports of my teammates when I heard the alarm tone of my cp. So I fumbled for it in my bag and thought “What day is it today? Did I miss something?” After I found my phone, I saw that my reminder had set off the alarm. It’s my friend’s birthday.


She’s one of my bestfriends, what I am today is mostly her influence. She’s a good friend, smart, pretty and adorable. I met her when I was in my first yr as a college student. We were staying in the same boarding house. She’s from Mindanao, so I learned the Cebuano language from her. I can’t speak the language but can understand some terms and phrases. She’s taking up Accounting then, I was taking up Marketing.


We went along very well. We used to go out together. Visit different places together. She went to our house and I went to her relatives’ house where she’s staying while studying away from home. Sometimes we will skip classes just to stroll in the mall, watch a movie or just enjoy each other’s company. I treated her as a bestfriend, as a teacher and as a sister. I still remember those times that we will talk from sunset to sunrise about anything. I have loved her above anyone else. But sometimes, some good things never last.


I haven’t expected that her grades are failing. Because I thought she’s smarter than I am. Then, I had developed several circles of friends and when I was in my second year I often hang out with my classmates because we were so busy doing projects and term papers. From there, I had less time with her. So we seldom talk to each other. But we’re still bestfriends. I soon found out that she has several failing subjects. She seldom goes to school and she spends most of her time sleeping.


I wish I knew her problem but I don’t. She acts normally, laughs a lot and looks like everyday is a happy day for her. Then we got into a fight that ruined our friendship. It’s sad. She never talked to me for a month or so. And we were never close again after that. I graduated college and she stopped schooling. I wish I could help her. She’s still my friend and she’ll always be.


Two years ago, she went back to her hometown and we still communicate through cellphones. I hope she could go back here so we could see each other again. And I hope she could finish her studies, too. My wish for her on this special day is: may she find her true love, and be happy for the rest of her life.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I can't imagine losing someone's friendship who was so close to me, although my sister went through a similar situation. Just by the way you wrote I could tell that she meant a lot to you. Its amazing how someone so close to you can drift so far apart in such short time. *snugs* Here's to looking at the future Donz.
