  Today I blew up at a friend who I felt has been abusive and demanding towards me recently. Maybe it’s miscommunication like she says. Maybe it’s a big misunderstanding. It could be she's completely right and I'm completely wrong. Or it could also be the other way around. In the end, what really matters is you say how you feel towards a friend even when sometimes it may hurt him or her.
Believe me, it beats bitching about it to someone else and later on not doing anything about what you have just bitched about anyway. Number one, you destroy friendships by destroying reputations that way. Number two, you don’t solve anything. By being honest, you avoid both. I love the people I have decided to invest in. Sometimes that love gets tough when things get rough.
I do not sugar coat it for you when I have a problem with you because that’s not what real friends are supposed to do. You say the truth and you say how you feel, even if it hurts sometimes, because that’s what good friendships are. In light of this, I decided to write about my favorite people and why I love them. CAT sleeping beauty Cat in caliraya My best friend who I love and keep close to heart…my pseudo-lover, she has been there for me through good times and bad. She never fails to make me laugh with her uncanny ability to be goofy (yes, my perfect goddess of a friend is goofy, too! ) EG.
slamming headfirst into her own kitchen door ! She has her own dose of tough love. Will never sugar coat it for me when I really need the cold hard truth. DREPPY Dre trying to be buff and goofy at the same time Dre + Pam = Maximum Fun. Enough said. No one has ever come close to being as equally good a friend to me as I am to him.
My friendship with Dre is timeless and priceless. HERBO I was going to put a much worse picture, but I'm kind enough to just indulge you with this one You learn and unlearn things in life all the time. Learning and unlearning things with Herbo is the best. I haven’t enjoyed it as immensely with anyone else more than I have with him. Chemistry is not one of my favorite things, but it seems to work well with us. TOBOR Look at that face.
How can you not love that face? Pam (in a shaky, almost breaking into to tears voice over the phone) : “Mon…” Mon : “Sige, punta na ko dyan.” Ten minutes later, he arrives at my house in the same clothes he’d slept in to make sure I was ok. Can’t beat that. I owe Mon a good chunk of my sanity. Ironic how it often seems like he’s lost his own. Hehe. LIAN a worm's eyeview of lian Lian is a rare person, I don't think I've met anyone else quite like her.
Her quiet ways and her chaotic personality is a contradiction in itself. But she is precious nontheless. I only look up to a rare few. I definitely look up to her. Lian is never afraid to make a face when her photo is being taken. She is one of the most photogenic people I know.
JAZZ A bird's eye view of Jazz (her favorite camera angle) The beach and Jazz are one. Most of my greatest beach trips are with her. No one can be a greater groupie. “She knows the lyrics to all the songs, even the bad ones…especially the bad ones.” JOHANN Johann in that Sagada trip where a ghost scared the living shit out of us Without any sleep for twenty four hours, he takes a bus straight from work to go to Puerto Gallera because of a promise he made to be there when he said he would. Drunk, dazed and just about to puke, he stands up and says, “Pam, I love you. You’re my big sistah!” Jo, the one liner steady-eddy I can’t seem to hate even when he bums too much cigarettes that I actually buy an extra pack for him to bum from.
DANA Dana making a funny face She's like Guns N Roses in the sense that you don't really listen to them as much as you used to, but they were there when you needed them. Dana and I rarely saw each other after highschool, but she made that time in my life a blast! I'll never forget our petty bestfriend fights. Especially the biggest one in St. James where it was a full-blown cat fight and we had spectators betting on who's gonna win. "Ako tataya ako sa mapayat! " "Ah ako dyan ako sa mataba!
" Dana is probably one of the most generous and beautiful-souled people I know. ITOS Is that receding hairline I see? My old fart of a friend. He watches out for me all the time, always making sure I'm in check, “Are you being Pamthetic again?” My savior from first-job hell. He never fails to lend a numb ear ( a numb ear is an ear that is tired of listening to you blab about the same things over and over that it ends up not listening anymore but has an automatic “uh-huh” after every 3 or 4 sentences ) Itos never fails to keep it real. And never fails to tell me when it's snowing :) KEN Ken sleeping the entire time during my birthday in Caliraya I just love Ken because no one can dance like Jesus Quintana like he does.
That and his ability to compose a hilarious song on the spot.
