I'm just so darn lucky to have friends like Dors and Mary. We haven't had tons of time to make epic memories together in recent years, but I can feel deep down how much they mean to me. Life's a bit more bearable when you've got pals who stick with you through thick and thin, you know? They've saved me in ways they probably don't even realize, and I can't thank my stars enough for having them in my life. Here's hoping our friendship lasts forever, even if our lives take different paths and lives we may lead.

Now, Mary's a gem of a friend. Her support and belief in me are like gold – absolutely priceless. I know I can count on her, and you bet I've got her back too. Through the toughest of battles, she's my ray of hope. I can shoot her a call, vent all my troubles, and spill my guts without worrying about being judged. And when the blues hit or I'm feeling low on motivation, I know she's there, cheering me on with prayers that really hit home.

Dors, too, is a precious friend. Her presence holds great significance for me, and I am grateful to know I can depend on her, much like with Mary. While our communication may not be constant, and we don't often intrude on each other's lives, she is a friend I can turn to whenever needed. It's not always about the frequency of communication, but the personal connection we share, and I am confident that Dors and I possess that enduring connection.

Now, I've got other friends on the side, and Vans is a constant reminder that unexpected friendships can be pretty awesome too. She's been a reliable source of relief for me. Venting out and discussing the struggles I've been facing here in the Maldives is like a sweet escape with her. Vans might be a bit unconventional in her life decisions, and sure, we might not see eye to eye on everything, but that's what makes her a real, vulnerable human being. She needs someone like me to remind her of what I think is right. I'm not perfect, but I want the best for her, as any friend should.

For me, Vans might not be perfect, but she means a lot to me. I hope our friendship stands the test of time. Sure, there are those moments when I feel a bit frustrated, like when she forgets about the money she owes me. But hey, communication is key. I should just ask her about it, and there's nothing to be scared of. Getting to know the person beyond those unwanted thoughts is way better than jumping to conclusions and making things complicated and that’s the greatest lesson for me.

And then there's Athena, my distant soulmate. I believe friendships can have their own soulmates too, right? We've been best friends for ages, and it's one of the most incredible things in my life. Recently, our deeper conversations have made me realize that we're both growing older. The depth of setbacks we've faced in our lives goes beyond what we could have imagined. It's definitely not the smoothest journey, but it's also not as rough as what some people have experienced but lately it bonded us in most matured way. She's changed a lot from the person I knew a few years ago. Life threw some challenges her way, and it's been eye-opening to see just how strong she is. I'll admit, I used to misjudge her but definitely rooting for her since day 1. You know, when you're close to someone, doubts can pop up, and I had my fair share about her. But seeing Athena tackle life head-on, it made me realize people can surprise you, just like she did. Sure, I know her, but there's always more to someone than meets the eye. Her personal growth, unfolding right under my nose, is something I find truly admirable and makes me so proud of her.

These people, They're a huge part of my life. You know, I've had my fair share of friends who just kind of faded away. It's a bit of a bummer how someone you used to know can just poof, disappear. Sad, but hey, that's the real deal, right? People come and go. But right now, I'm just really thankful for all the memories I've made with these awesome folks.

I had a conversation with Athena today, and she seemed quite stressed, although she mentioned feeling better compared to the other day. Honestly, I'm really proud of her; she's been excelling in her career. I've been rooting for her since the beginning, even during moments when she might have considered giving up. I've come to realize that I underestimated her strength, and she has become the person I aspire to be—brave and resilient. I understand that she's stressed about the exams and settling down in Germany. Hey, I truly feel with the pressure she's under since I’m taking exam as well  

Athena is my dearest best friend, along with Gerlyn. Unfortunately, I find myself missing Gerlyn a lot these days, and somehow, we've experienced a bit of a fall-out in our friendship. It saddens me, even though we still communicate casually, like acquaintances. Gerlyn's story is a separate one, but I genuinely miss her.

On the brighter side, I've developed a strong bond with Athena. While we may not talk as much, I am confident that she will be there for me no matter what. I sincerely hope for Athena to achieve all her aspirations, and I am looking forward to visiting her in Germany soon.

this is duday. (marilou segador) she's my bestfriends after my high school life. i don't know how our friendship started. we're starting being close after high school that is during our early college days. i know her more than to anyone and i really love her as my own sibling. we been sharing some secrets and confession that i don't dare to tell to anyone. she knows me well and family know her as well. no word could explained how duday's important to me and i'm willing to help and support her for any difficulties that she's been through. 

ni minsan di pa ako niregaluhan ni duday. well di naman ako materialistic pero alam mo yung the fact na may value ako as bestfriend at gusto ko maramdaman yun. ako alam ni duday yan na handa akong ubusin lahat ng resources ko para lang mapakita na may value sya. yung time na walang wala sya handa akong magbigya at sumuporta kasi alam kong kailangan nya ako. hehe sumbatan? nag-ddrama lang ako. sana marealized ni duday.

we had an over night stay at athena's place in marikina. well that was so fun hahaha :)  first we just met her baby sister. a 2 mos old baby ( i forgot her name) . she was so cute and adorable. and then we eat spaghetti that her dad made for us. i really like it specially the cheese on top haha. after dinner we played PS3. a really nice game console and  i want to have one too. but i need to save more money first and buy all this stuff as package including the flat screen TV. hihi for better visual resolution :) anyway but sadly this two girls always beat me to every games that we played haha shame on me right** 

i like the mind games, i forgot the title but that was so nice  but it takes too long to finish the games except  if you're  both smart regarding problem solving haha. i also like this games. walking dead ( i couldn't imagine to live like that haha but i like to have my own movie or even in real life, fighting with the zombies haha well i need to practice my killing skills in the future haha.) Persona ( nice anime characters. really like it. how i wish to find the anime version of it ) little big world racing version ( not sure the title haha. anyway that was so crazy. nice voodoo dolls avatars that you can costumize it for what look you want for them. crazy!:) we just laught all night because of them.). her dad treat us so well. pinag luto at inasikaso pa kami. really nice experience.

shot by athena :) better version haha

anyway. Ms. jean treat us in Chattime. nomnom :)

after that we watched "one more try" but nica wasn't able to watched with us. she has an overnight with her highschool friends in tondo.  anyway ace, mama roma, aimee and carene. we're so affected about the movie. well nice movie they're able to discussed all sides. how can you deal to this kind of problem if you're both committed  and what if you're the wife, what will you do? you actually share you're husband ? and if you're the man who unconditionally inlove to that girl with had a dying child and willing to do anything just to protect her child. are you willing to give that chance to be selfless and accept all the things. even if your ego as a man is dragging down. this story is a picture of drama but eventually they're able to accept all the consequences.

nagsorry xa one time kasi parang nasigawan nya ako kasi yung local berlitz ayaw pumayag na mag interview kasi may next sched na daw xa. well kasalanan ko naman kasi di ko napansin yung isa pang candidate na nakapila.. may time din naman na nakakahurt na xa at na nakakapikon parang bang don't make me feel stupid. after all pwede naman mag usap ng maayos. saka di ko naman sinasadya if ever maka gawa ako ng kasalanan. sa sobrang inis ko din minsan parang gusto kong ihampas yung mga resume sa kanya hahaha buti na lang kahit paano ayaw ko xang patulan  kasi mag kaibigan kami at mahalaga xa para sa akin. i believed that she feels the same way

recently, she advised me to use the slip that she made just to make our tracking system easier. well ok naman nag explain ako sa mga validator kung anu yung gusto iemplement ni carene. based sa pag kakaunawa ko ayaw nila kasi super hassle sa part nila. naisip ko naman na mahirap din sa part namin lalo na pag maraming candidate. kaya sabi ko na lang sa isang corner na lang nila ilagay yung mga details para di rin kami mahilo sa pag ttrack. yun nagalit si carene kasi di nga nasunod yung gusto nya. minsan ang hirap nya intindihin since babae xa hahaha super impulsive at bossy. lakas ng personality which is unhealthy somehow. anyway nagvoice out kasi ako kay ace regarding doon. i don't have any idea na mag bad mouth against carene, gusto ko lang malaman kung anu dapat kong gawin kasi nga galit xa. well ok na naman, kasi nag sorry xa dahil dun sa inasal nya sa amin :) well i know carene more than to anyone. kaya naiintindihan ko naman xa at lagi kong pipilitin na unawain xa since mag kaibigan kami. well sana ganun din xa para sa akin. :)

This post is all about moving on. Well moving on in a sense of individual growth, it has been a year since Valenzuela city was been a part of my life. There’s so much memories that I invest to that place. College life, friendship, dreams, and journey.

Those laugh and tears that we shared. Those sleepover and movie marathon are the things that I really missed. Food trip and eating spaghetti together are how we spend our spare time together. Sharing those secrets and gossips are the things we looking forward after we seeing each other. Keeping those memories makes me happy, the fact that I’m belong to that place, I must say that is my comfort zone and my security blanket as well because I know that I’m secured with them, secured mentally and emotionally.

Well I’m sad because it will be going a long distance friendship. Hehe but still I’m happy because this is the best time that we grow individually especially athena, she will now facing her new life and new chapter as individual and as a career woman as well. I know that is not the last time we see each other.
