Real friends are few that’s why I treasure you…

Art by: Anna Rhea Francisco

In our life we will meet different kinds of people that we will learn about. Some will make us happy for a moment of meeting them. But only few can become our friends for the rest of our life and you’ll never ever regret meeting them. They’re the one’s who will tell how important you are to them and you’ll feel that you’re special. 

MY Friendship Quotes: (^^,)

"Friendship is when people know all about you but like you anyway. "

"Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart."

"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. "

"A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out. "

“Once in a while you met someone, a complete stranger that will lift up your spirit and give something you’re looking for, LOVE of a friend.”

True Friends are rare but easy to see... you'll find it if you're also a "True Friend". It's like treasure that gives you a fortune... so if you have found one, keep her/him and don't let go. (^^,)

As for me, I don't have group of friends or "Barkada". What I have are my true friends and these people were my real and special friends… I never be ashamed of calling them my best friends and I love them all. 

My High school Buddies (^^,)

Aileen Joy Azur

~ My friend who is very cheerful, thoughtful and open minded. Before, I envy her for having so many friends at school while I just have few on my own. But because of her I change a bit, for being so timid or not sociable at all. She thought me how to care and how to be a friend to everybody. And we share happy memories together on my 3^rd and 4^th year in high school.

We gave each other a letter before we say goodbye in high school. In her letter, I am very surprise to know that she remembers all we been through; how we met, how we started to be friends and how we became close to each other. She actually had summarized all and it made me realized that I’m important to her too and I became part of her memories.

I will never forget what she wrote on his letter. She told me not only how important I am to her but also she let me know who I was before and makes me aware of myself.

She said:

“I discovered that you were an INC and I was really happy. Every time you open up and be part of your life I feel really glad. You gave me a pink floral bracelet on my birthday, although it really wasn’t meant for me, I really treasured it.”

“I felt really close to you, like your elder sister. I wanted to protect you from anyone who would try to harm you”

“I will never say goodbye to you because we will grow old friends together.”

“I’m sorry for making you do things you wouldn’t want to do. I just didn’t saw that you were hard to influence. I thought you would always say yes. And that was good. Your values were firmly embedded in you.”

“I discovered that you raised good enough to take yourself away from trouble”

~ To my best friend and sister in faith… Thank You. I want you to know that you are special to me too. I’m always grateful that I had met a wonderful person like you. Although we never had a chance of seeing each other so often, let me tell you that you were always inside my heart and part of my happy memories. I pray for your happiness in life and I hope that you’ll never change, just don’t forget that we’re raised and born as INC, and treasure it forever. ~ SMILE! ~

~ My friend who is very, very cheerful, bold, caring, always makes me smile because of her jokes (or “mababaw lang talaga ako” hehe!) and thoughtful.

In her letter to me before we say goodbye in high school, she said that “sorry kung lagi kitang inaaway”… heck! I don’t remember why?! I actually can’t remember how we started to became friends or even closer to each other. I just remember that we compete in rank for being the first honour in our 2^nd year. But I didn’t remember that we fought because of that, it’s actually fun and good thing for me because I came to know her. In her letter, she told me how I laugh and my facial expression when I’m laughing. She told me to be a good nurse. And she told me to keep her letter so I did. I treasured it. ^^,) Her letter for me was short but it really makes me happy and made me realized that I’m important to her too.

She knows and says that I undeniably have a forgetful mind and I won’t deny it. But I will surely never forget all the happy memories we shared together, in school and even when we were both attending our duties in church. I actually missed all of that and I wish that it didn’t last.

~ To my best friend and sister in faith… I thank you for being there all the times. And always know that I’m always here for you too. We may have different things to do now. We may be busy and sometimes have struggles in life that make us weak but always know you’re not alone because I’m here. If we can’t turn back time, then at least we should still share many good and happy memories together. ~ SMILE ! ~

My College Friends (^^,)

Edelyn Dongallo

~ My friend who is loving, caring, cheerful and truthful to what she feels. Being batageño, if I’m correct!, adds to her great sense of humor. She will never fail to show you her loving personality and being honest to her feelings is what I like to her the most.

I came to know her, when I was enrolling in Fatima. She was enrolling the same course and by chance we had the same section in college. That’s the start of our friendship together with three other friends. And because of that I got a chance to know her better. We’re always together until I stopped attending school in college. I was sad but things happen and sometimes you have to go in separate ways but my best memories I had with her was when, she and Kristine, gave me a simple but wonderful gift on my 18^th birthday and I really treasured it. ^^,)

On her gift she wrote:

Happy 18^th birthday Rhea…

O 18^th ka na keep smiling

Always… yan ka naman diba?

He! He! He!

Love yah!!!

Wishes ko para sayo

     1.   long life

2. good health
3. success

It was simple but yet I’m touched and it made me happy. Because being remembered by someone you care and someone who cares is the most important of all than any expensive gifts you might receive. I’m thankful because of that.

~ To my friend… I thank you for remembering me once in a while. Always know that I care for you and I’m here. I told you that sometimes I regret being a nurse or why did I choose that course. But what I’m not regretting was that I came to know you because I took that course. I realized that in life I shouldn’t be regretful of the things that I choose but always be thankful of having an opportunity to choose. We should move forward and see what’s ahead of us. I’m wishing for your success in life. I hope we will able to have other good memories to share. ~ SMILE!~

Kristine Sandoval

~ My friend who is sweet and caring. She didn’t show it too obviously but you’ll feel it and know that she cares. I can’t remember how we became friends or when it started but I will never forget the happy memories we had in college.

I will never forget the simple but touching gift you and edelyn gave to me on my 18^th birthday. I guess that’s the first time you said something about me. You said:

Rhea… !

Best Tawa Award goes to…

Ms. Rhea Francisco… hehehe

Anyway! Just want to greet you a happy…

Happy 18^th b-day

Sana hindi ka magbago…

Pero yung negative attitude mo yun

Nalang baguhin  mo hehehe… kung meron…

Sobrang nagenjoy ako ng makasama kita,

Kahit hindi mo masyado pinakita

True feelings mo..

Basta lagi lang kami nandito,

Basta tawagin mo lang ako…

Sana wag mo kalimutan ang mga pinagsamhan natin…

Salamat sa lahat ng tulong…

Wish all the best in life..

Goodluck… Luve you my friend…

~ To my friend… always know that I didn’t forget you. You’re always special to me like everyone else. I’m thankful that I came to know a person like you. Thank you for being there for me and for sharing happy memories together. I will always be happy for you. I want your success and happiness in life. ~SMILE!~

Catherine Rayos Del Soy

~ I will never forget the day I hurt her because of Subcutaneous Injection demo. (SORRY!!!) I know how painful it was but she still loves me despite of that. Thank Goodness she’s kind and easy to be with and I love this girl coz of that. Sadly though, we only share few happy memories together and now, I actually forgot how we started to be friends or closer to each other. All I know was every time we’re together we’re both happy and we both have something to share with each other.

~ To my friend… please! remain the same. I’m always here to be proud of you. ~SMILE!~

My Online Friend (^^,)

Lorena Lopez

~ Thanks to Conantantei that I met her. Although we’re just online friends, it’s amazing how we able to understand each other. Different race but same and mutual feeling of wanted to know each other very well. I never met her in person, I just know what she looks like but it’s always a great feeling talking to her. I love her sweetness and her honest disposition in life. Her open mindedness and her friendly opinion on something make her more likeable and amazing... or maybe she is just really amazing person.

~ To my friend… If you’ll read this, thank YOU for being my friend. I’m always here to wish and pray for your happiness and success in life. GOD is always good and great. Hope you’ll always stays the same. ~ SMILE! ~
