Epitome of a friendship that's For Keeps

They say friends are a single soul dwelling in two bodies and I must say, I'd have to agree. Friends, the real ones at least, are the ones that complete us. They are the ones who are partly responsible for who we are as persons, as of the moment.

Like mothers, friends also play a variety of roles in our lives.

Beyond friendship, they are our sisters/brothers/, counselors, teachers and sometimes, our parents. They are the ones who try to understand us when the world doesn't or when we ourselves don't. They are the ones who are there no matter what. They are there even though they don't always agree but because they love us enough, they'd give it to us to at least try to understand. They are the ones who give us unsolicited advise that we most often than not, solicit anyways. They are the ones who best knows us and despite knowing everything, still don't judge. They are the ones who are still there, when the rest of the world fails us.

Of sentiments and cheeze, I'd like to share about this particular girl i've been friends with since forever. She was my first ever acknowledged "best friend", if we should give it that title. The best thing about our friendship is that it stands the test of distance and time. Though we're now physically apart and though we don't know all the details of each other's lives, we still hold on to the friendship that still effortlessly grows. And though we don't talk everyday, when we do, it's always just a natural thing. We don't even have to try so hard to relate with one another because we do, we just do. :)

And today, we had our first ever date here in Manila :)

 We went to Sbarro for lunch, which was by the way a very heavy and hearty meal. :)  She had  a Chicago white while I had a Chicago Deep dish (photo above). We also shared half an order of Baked Ziti with meat sauce. :) It was a good meal. :)

We watched the Hunger Games after lunch. It was the first ever movie we watched in the theatre together, so yes it was a sentimental thing. Haha! And it was a good first movie, it was a good watch and I really enjoyed it. It's good to have someone who appreciates both the technicality and the story of the film, beside you.  :) 

Of firsts, she also had her first serving of Happy Lemon today! And believe me, the Lemons weren't the only ones who were happy! Haha, smiley faces on the escalator with our cocoa and greentea cups with lovely rock salt and cheese. If you haven't tasted this, it may sound weird but believe me, it's all good. :) 

"Hala! Parang ayoko na ubusin! (Dahil masarap) and weird ko talaga." She cracks me up. Hahaha!

 

And though I would have loved to stay, I couldn't. And with that we ended the day with another picture of happy faces and chinky eyes. :) She is the closest thing I have to a younger sister, blogger, meet Jabesse. :) 

Here's to a friendship like ours. to a friendship that's strengthened by distance and time. to late night phone calls and early morning affirmations. to a friendship that nothing can ever measure. Here's to our 14 years of friendship, and counting! To the last 14 years and to the next 14 more! bring it onnnnn. <3
