Don't you know that the word "friends" has a very complicated meaning? I mean not literally.. Yet,people used that word easily and regularly..When someone ask you, "whose that with you? Easy answer, "its just a friend"..Easy excuse, still "I'm just with a friend..."
There are different types of friendship, such as: friend as co-workers,neighbors,fitness buddy,clientele,schoolmate,mere acquaintance, ect.. and nowadays we have what we called an on line friends as well..
Wherever or whoever it is, life is just wonderful if you are surrounded by those, granted if its a real one..
Friendship to me is like having a flower in the garden, which always need cultivating, must fertilize it, water it, in order to see them grow beautifully..
Its a two soul mate whose mind blend each other, yields natural understanding, forgiving and never back bite. Its both show willingness to lend a helping hand amid the worst and chaos moment of their life..Its a lifelong sharing of laughter and tear experiences, offer golden advices, listen, no demands, not suffocating and never taking advantages.. Its not judge mental, respect each other's ideas and opinion. Its full of honesty,loyalty and trust.
Those words are so powerful, so perfect, that even myself could hardly admit to my own conscience. Am i able to surpassed that one in a million qualities? Hmmmm truth is I don't know.Its just too hard to boast if I am that perfect. I am a person who loves to party and socialized.I'm a bit hard sometimes but so far not choosy. I don't see people according to the thickness of their wallet but how big and thick their heart is.
Every now and then our life changed,such as getting married, change job, went abroad or anything that made us seemed so preoccupied with something that we loose contact with some of our friends. Now,we hanged out new peer group, usually who is nearer and accesible to us.Closer to whom we are comfortable with, the same interest and mostly the same job or area of specialization..But no matter how many you have newly found pals, it actually doesn't mean by, you totally forgotten the old one..Nope!
Nevertheless,without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each of them and since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

A friendship can weather most things and
thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little much of
letters and phone calls and small, silly presents
every so often - just to save it from
drying out completely.

Everything in the group is purely and mostly for fun fun and nothing else but fun.. We don't actually bring any topics about serious problems in life and no secret confessions..We just eat,drink,dance,sing, tease each other and laugh...

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo,

An insincere and evil friend
is more to be feared than a wild beast,
A wild beast may wound your body,
but an evil friend will wound your
mind..

Boss Orlan's Birthday
Pose daw ng maayos nag ka gulo pa...
Kala mo kung anu ang pinag me meetingan...
Salamat boss nalasing mo na naman kame...
Sa uulitin...God bless, more health, more wealth..
Friendship needs no words - it is solitude
delivered from the anguish
of loneliness.
