When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives
means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving
advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our
wounds with a warm and tender hand.

My good friend is celebrating her birthday today. Today
marks the end of her quarter life crisis. Twenty-six years and she have done so
much in her life. She has her own car, how about that! J
( Friendster testi
starts now). She is tough. She is passionate. Best friend. Good daughter.
Thoughtful tita. She is hopelessly romantic (that I doubt if she would agree
on). Music is her life that playing guitar and singing herself out loud isn’t
enough, she had a G-clef inked in her body ( wala naming facebook si tita no?).
We have been friends since forever. She helped me through my
trying times. She is honest. I can say that she is one of the few who knows me
too well. I can tell her everything and anything, my unorganized thoughts, my
ever-changing dreams, just everything. And also, she is also one of the few
whom I don’t feel the need of saying anything. She knows me, I’m not that loud
when it comes to the deeper side of me and I’m glad that she respects that.
If she’s here in
Manila and celebrating her birthday, we probably would have dinner with the
Miguelin girls. Laughing with the same old stories, drinking coffee, and
laughing again with stories we created from the same old stories.
My dear friend Rennette, you know that I wish nothing but
only the best for you. You have been through a lot and I always ask God to
reward you with the things you most deserved. I tasted your pain and your
anger, I see you rise and fall and move forward. I hope that as you give
sunshine to everyone you know and you don’t know, that along the way you will
find your own sunshine.
Needless to say, you know that I’m always here, we, are
always here for you.
Thank you for the friendship!
Cheers to the 26 years of life!
