Bestfriends Forever

We grew together. We were neighbors. She is one of my childhood bestfriends.

Their family left our place when we were in high school. She went to Japan and started a family while I was in college.

I miss her terribly while she's gone. But God is so good, He always finds a way to reunite us.

She is very generous eversince. Her generosity is endless, limitless and fathomless. She gave lots of cute and memorable things to me. I still have them today. I got my first (polaroid) digital camera because of her. She gave me a gold ring, shoes, boots, bags, stuff toys, chocolates, ramen and lots of treats.  

Just few days ago, she gave me an absolute lovely free trip to Cebu, a day trip in Plantation Bay and an overnight stay in Gaite Ranch Resort. 

I learned from her a lot. She is a blessing to me and to everyone around her. I can't repay her for everything she gave me except my friendship. I hope one day I could treat her too. And I'm wishing to travel with her someday.

Her name is Marites Taping. We fondly call her IT-IT.

She is beautiful inside out.

She's one of my closest friends in college. We have lots of opposites yet we are the same. We worked to support our college studies. We aimed to succeed and have a comfortable life.

After college, we never knew that we will continue to study in the field of nursing but in different school while working. Working student again. Yes we did it, we passed the board exam. We are now Registered Nurses. And she work as a Nurse while I'm tied with my precious job.

It's a long journey of our friendship. Last year, we travelled Singapore together, just the two of us on March 23 to 28. And this year we went to Kota Kinabalu and Kuala Lumpur. What a coincidence, we travelled on the same date. We enjoyed being together. No requirements. I don't need to please her and no need to please me either. When silence engulfed us for whatever reason we have, there's no need to talk. No need to explain.

Now she's leaving to Canada to join her husband. But she will be back for us to conquer Mt. Kinabalu and get an international diving license in Kota Kinabalu.

And we are marking it next year. I hope...

Bruno Mars?

It's good to have coffee with a good friend. It's been a long while that we were not together because of our busy and crazy life. We have been to Mt. Apo few times and it was one of the memorable days of my life.

Edward is going to Boracay two weeks from now and he wants to borrow something from me that really fits for a beach adventure. So here we are meeting at coffee dream and he posed for me like Bruno Mars?....
