in friends
Rare that you can find a friend like her. Shen is a “palitaw”…
sometimes she’s there, sometimes she’s not. What is amazing with this friend of
mine is that she has a knack for calling/texting when you feel like talking
to/seeing her; when you need her. I remember there was a time when we hadn’t
seen each other for a year or so. No calls, text messages, emails… this was the
time that she had a “helmet” on and was crazy in love with a no-good guy. I
kept on thinking that I want to see her but I didn’t know how to reach her
because she dropped out of circulation. When out of nowhere, she called me up
and we hooked up again.
It is already 15 years that we’ve been friends. She became my friend back in
second year high school. It was not always a smooth ride for us. There was a
time that a common friend tried to break our friendship. I am glad that I did
not listen to her.
She was there during the good and bad times. She was there when I badly
needed someone who wouldn’t judge me. She was there when I just needed
mind-numbing monologues from someone. She has done so many things and the one I
will never forget is when she was with me during that tumultuous TWA time. I
will not grow tired of saying thank you for that time, pare! It was difficult
to look back and see myself alone during that time. It would’ve been truly
unbearable without you.
We call each other “pare”… nakasanayan na naming dalawa! Heheheh… I don’t
call anybody else that way. I could not bring myself to call her “mare” kasi
parang bading hahahah… Oops, no offense meant to my other friends. Kami lang
nakakaintindi ng bading na yan hehehe…
She’s generous, maarte, very friendly, easy to get along with… she’s like a
sister to me kaya naman I hate it whenever I learn she’s fallen for someone who
doesn’t deserve her. Cause she deserves someone better. Someone who will love
her for what she is. She’s had enough hurt to last her several lifetimes and
she doesn’t need another one.
Basta Shen, I pray that He grant you your heart’s desires… and let me be the
first one to greet you a…
I love you, my friend! I pray for more birthdays and more years of
friendship with you. I pray that He gives you a man who will love you for who
you are. I pray that He guide you always.
Oi san treat mo ha?

Birthday to Shen!
And what a coincidence, my good friend is called
Shen too! Having friends like this is good because no matter how thick or thin
everything is they’ll still be there.

It’s Her Day!!!
Si SHEN… artistic, sweet, selfless at mahilig sa Tom &
Jerry. Fan ni Bob Ong. Kikay, pa-girlie pero sporty, Little Miss
Philippines ng buhay ng nanay niya. Mahilig sa pink at black. Galing
sumayaw. Bungisngis.
It
all started in second year high. She transferred again to our school,
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. There were several transferees and she’s
one of them. For some reason, the school decided that they will
compress the four sections to three so they were put in our class. I
never intended to be friends with her because I have my own set of
friends… Apparently, fate had other plans than mine.
It was
second quarter of the school year when something happened. I was one of
the top students in class (teka, natatawa ako! nagyabang pa! hehehe) so
I was placed at the back of the room. I became friends with a bunch of
students from the last section and… her (she transfered back to our
school from NotreDame)
Shiena Tan.
She’s shy (sige na
nga!) at first but when you get to know her… makulit! She loves to
dance and sing and play the piano. She’s one of the friendliest persons
I’ve known. Cowboy! You can serve tuyo and she won’t complain. Very
generous. When she has some cash with her, naku, she’ll buy stuff for
you and your family. She’s like that when she drops by my house (which
was pretty much everyday back then, hehe). Makuwento! 24 hours is not
enough when we talk! She has lots of kuwento especially when we won’t
see each other for months. And when we get to talk again, it’s like we
just saw each other yesterday. She knows how to deal with others really
well. There are so many families out there who want to adopt her.
Rollyne’s family. Sheryl’s family. Mine.
And uhmmm… she’s
kikay nga pala! Back in HS, she’s the wash-and-wear type of girl. When
I saw her in college, OMG! Ang kikay na! She wears skirts, does her
make-ups, curls her lashes (ahay!) and her voice is much more maarte!
hehehe
She lived at Serrano Laktaw in our HS days. After school,
it was an unwritten rule that we go to her place to chill. Saya! She’d
play the piano for us. We’d choose from her pieces. I’d always choose
People Alone. And Hidin’ in Myself. Can you still remember that, pre?
hehe
Of all the things that we shared together… it was those
times that we were both down are the most memorable! I remember I had a
problem before and she was the one who was there beside me to alleviate
the burden I was carrying that time. She knew everything and she
honored my unspoken request to keep quiet about it. She was there
during the Dan episode of my life as well. She’ll cry silently with you
during the times you’re troubled and down and out. She’ll never leave
you, believe me.
She’s tough when it’s her own battles she’s
fighting. But she can be a crybaby at times. Especially when it comes
to the loved ones (*wink*). It’s because she’s not expecting it from
him so she cries easily.
I texted her this morning because IT’S
HER BIRTHDAY TODAY! I told her that I wish she’d get to meet Mr. Right
already. Someone that would love her and take care of her and be with
her when she needs someone to make kwento/daldal to. Someone who’d
cherish her and make her feel important the way she does her loved
ones. If she already found the guy (*wink* *wink*), well and good!
You deserve it, sis!
I also wish that our friendship would last a lifetime.
I
may not have a tangible gift that I can give you right now, Shen, I
have these memories and good words that I can tell the whole world
about you.
Love u, sis! Be happy (parang commercial ng
jollibee)! You deserve it! And whatever they say, you know that we all
love you the way you are.
‘Tol, painom ka naman! hehehe
HAPPY 27th BEERDAY este BIRTHDAY pala!!!
