People like these. Aw shucks.

Fermila yos!

Yesterday, one of my best friends forever and I had a random dinner rendezvous. After a spontaneous decision that was birthed out of a desperate need for chocolates, after sooooo long I was able to enjoy the cool Bacolod weather at night as we walked the entire length of 6th Lacson Street. Traipsing along, we basically just talked about severely girly stuff that would seriously make a man believe he were growing ovaries if one were with us.

She's one of those people who laugh at me when I do something stupid, because she knows I'd be laughing about it before she does.

Now how do I call this girl my best friend? We've actually fought and had misunderstandings several times already, and we've patched up every time. As soon as a person begins to be able to hurt you and vice versa, I seriously think that you already care about them at that level.

Even at times when I believe I just couldn't take these kind of people anymore, I'd still do what I can to keep them, because I'd rather have them and their flaws with me, than never have them in my life at all.

Apart from giving material things (like bandi--candied peanutes, for example), we always end up sharing spiritual and motivational thoughts with each other. We may haven't grown up in size together like my childhood buddies, but we can actually grow together in intellect and spirit -- as fellow women.

She's either a bridesmaid or a manenay in my wedding (it's up to her), and will definitely be a manenay to my kids. She's going to be stuck to me and my family.

There are times when we're so busy I never hear from her, long intervals when I never have the time to talk to her anymore. But every time we see each other or when one checks up on the other, it's like time never even passed us by.

Having someone like that is precious. Do what you can to keep them.

Do you have anyone like that in your life?
