This is from my first blog. Re-posting this because it's quite a special one but oh my gosh, facepalm to whatever I wrote here and/or how I wrote this.
"True friendship isn't being
inseparable. It is being separable and nothing changes."
This quote really pertains to the
situation my best friend and I have at the present time. Do you have any idea
who it is? She is not actually in our school anymore. She has transferred just
this school year.
My best friend goes by the name of
Rica Marie Isabel Peña. If you would ask me to describe her, I would probably
just say, "Basta ah!" Ha ha. She is a very beautiful person inside
and out, not to mention mega intelligent! She is very witty and well-rounded.
Every single day of our freshman year, we would talk about almost everything!
As in, she's like Discovery Channel but with entertainment and gossip. Rica
here has been my best friend since 4th grade. Her two elder sisters were batch
mates of also my two elder sisters and we two are also of the same batch!
Awesome, huh? So this leads me to one unforgettable moment during the first day
of school (4th grade). When I entered the classroom, I saw her sitting
somewhere in the middle and then all of sudden, she waved at me saying hello
and asked me to go towards her. She was actually the one who chose a seat for
me, which was near her. That was the school year where we got to know each
other, became closer and closer as weeks and months go by until we reached this
point where we realized we were best friends.
Among all of my best friends right
now, she still remains the best. She will always have a special place in my
heart for she left A LOT for me. Our friendship, back when she was
still in Assumption, was sometimes unstable. There were a lot of obstacles and
problems along the way and the worst among them all happened last school year.
It was a very tough time for me because I didn't want to lose her. But in the
end, of course, there was peace and harmony. The cycle repeated itself for
several times. The reason why is that, sometimes, I just remember that very
tough time I had in freshman year. My thoughts, my feelings, most especially.
It hurt a lot so I would get carried away with my feelings and then do
complicated and unexpected stuff without thinking first. But
despite the hardships and the little misunderstandings, we love each other so,
so much. You just don't know how much. Ever since 4th grade, we always had
heart-to-heart conversations on Yahoo! Messenger in the summer every 12 in the
midnight until who knows when. That is one of the most unforgettable moments
ever in our friendship! I absolutely loved those times. Good times. Last year,
she would always tell me she loves me for like 3 times a week! She would always
play with me (I so love her wit and goofiness!), cuddle onto me and hug me,
which I really love because I feel very special, happy and lucky to have her as
my best friend.
A lot of my batch mates and some
teachers have asked me before, "How does it feel to be without Rica?"
I would then feel a bit weak! Really. Well, I just answered that it's okay. I
guess? It's okay but it's sad. From my experience with her, I learned and
discover so much. I cannot tell everything here because of course, this entry
will be lengthened and there are just too many!!! I could just cry
here happy tears and reminisce the memories we had. At the present time, we are
still in touch. We communicate frequently via Twitter and Facebook and
sometimes she would call me on the phone and we would have an hour-long
conversation about what has been happening lately in both of our lives. There
are also times when we are not able to talk. I really love the fact that even
if she's now in a different school, our friendship is still strong. For my
birthday last July, she gave me a necklace which had the word 'believe' in one
side and 'Neverland' with Tinkerbell on the other side. It is very
beautiful.
I will always consider Rica as one
of my bestest best friends because she has done so much to me. So much, I don't
even know where to start! The best things she has taught me? Good values,
virtues, important life matters, how to deal with problems, how to succeed,
etc! Speaking of success, she once told me that I should always study hard
because education is the key to success and that is the only thing that can
make our parents happy. In that way, I would have a good relationship with
them. Of course, they will be so proud of me!
Rica has definitely left footprints
in my heart. She has made a big mark in my life. I will never forget her and
all of the lessons she has taught me in becoming a good, well-behaved and
successful person.
Thank
you, Rica! I miss you! ♥ :(
