farewell to the yesterdays..

Friendship.

One of the most precious things in the world. It is from friendship that true love is conceived thus giving birth to a brand new relationship. We don't realize the true value and power of friendship until we lose it. In times like these when we are ravaged with personal problems brought by interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts, we can rely on a person we call "friend" to help straighten ourselves. There are two types of friends however. Those who help solve our problems positively(eg by counseling, etc) and those that do the exact opposite(eg persuading them to use drugs). Anyway let's go back to the topic. Along the way we get to meet people and make friends with them but only a select few get to be your friends. Fewer still get to have an intimate relationship with you.

When i grew up, I never really had anyone who I can call a friend. Back in my elementary days I was the laughing stock of the class. Always the center of jeers, criticisms and insults. I cannot remeber the exact number of times that I cried. I was all alone. Lonely. I did manage to be with a group but even though I regard them as my friends, they do not regard me as such. But things changed when I was in high school. The former lonely, nerdy, lanky, sniveling kid who is always crying on his seat has become a mature, happy, pimply(life's harsh), strong witty teener who is always crying "asa." As I look back to the past, I cannot imagine what life will I live if I didn't study here in Quesci. I cannot fathom what will become of me had I not met my friends. I guess the One above just wants each and every people in this imperfect world to experience the joys of being with people we call friends. Until now I still feel lonely and all alone but still, I know i can rely on my buddies to help me out. Yep, when old geezers tell you taht friends are God's gifts to us, you better believe them.





Let me take this opportunity to thank my "barkada." My real barkada. The GB adix. Without you guys, the past would still haunt me until my bones and flesh get eaten by worms.
