Value your friends

"A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care to acquire."

The Color of Friendship...

Got this cute and inspiring thought about friendship. Hope you like it! this is for all of my FRIENDS. Love you guys :)

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best. The most important. The most useful. The favorite.

GREEN said:
Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."

BLUE interrupted:
"You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."

YELLOW chuckled:
"You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."

ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet:
"I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry
the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and pawpaws. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."

RED could stand it no longer he shouted out:
"I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."

PURPLE rose up to his full height:
He was very tall and spoke with great pomp:
"I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, cheifs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey."

Finally INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than all the others,
but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me,
but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balanceand contrast, for prayer and inner peace."

And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.

In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different?
Join hands with one another and come to me."

Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.The rain continued: "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow."

And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky,let us remember to appreciate one another.

Friendship....

Chai's Bday

Chai is one of the person I can always count on. She is on of the best friend I ever had in my journey. She celebrated her birthday last January 08. We did not celebrate that day since she's still dizzy with her trip from Surigao(her home town), Am I right chai?..hehe. A week after then she decided to treat us. A dinner together with our other buddies. As usual me and Hazel Lou are present, i guess for now were the super active friends who goes everywhere every time one of our buddies ask to hangout..weeehhh...our other friends are not available dunno why maybe because they are busy? had a date? no more time for us? or maybe they don't like to hang out anymore with us...hahaha.. whatever the reasons they had friends will always be friends...char!..anyway we ate our dinner @ Mandarin, along Holy Cross of Davao College Main Campus. Au2x(idol) also join us. weeh.. The day would not be complete without taking pictures, here are some of our moments:


After then, we separated ways, I the "chubby chix" went to work, Hazel "Kulot", Chai the "bad gurl" and Au2x "Idol" now "Ma'am"..hihi..went home... We ended the day with a big smile on our face HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAI!..mmmwwhhh.. luvs yah! ..(hito napud ta sunod hah..hehe)

Love and Friendship

Personally I value and love my friends. I could not be me without having all of them in my life. They say most people walk in and out of you life. But only True friends leave footprints in your heart. I wanna share with you this inspiring quotes I read, it made me think and wonder where are my friends now. Where ever they are I pray for there safety and happiness.

• Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

• Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.
• Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.
• You can only go as far as you push.
• Actions speak louder than words.
• The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else.
• Don't let the past hold you back; you're missing the good stuff.
• Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while, you might miss it.
• A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.
• If you think that the world means nothing, think again. You might mean the world to someone else.
• When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there
• True friendship never ends.
• Friends are forever.
• Good friends are like stars....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.
• Don't frown. You never know who is falling in love with your smile.
• What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry?
• NOBODY IS PERFECT UNTIL YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM. (Isn't that the truth?)
• Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end.

Everyone we meet seems special to us, we may not realize it, even those people who we get mad sometimes.

When we look back on our younger years, we will remember the people who went to school with us, the people who made us laugh, the people who hung out with us when nobody else would, and the people who made our lives much better simply by being a part of it.

There may be somebody who is thinking about you RIGHT NOW and wishing that you were around. That's the wonderful thing about friendship-you always feel loved and cared about.

The most important thing to remember is... Always appreciate the friends that you have.

A fight may come and go very easily, but a friendship could last forever.

For every second spent in anger, a minute of happiness is wasted. So when ever you get a chance tell you friends that you care.

Precious Moments

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

Me and my friends are having different paths to pursue now a days.Unlike before almost everyday we meet up and see each other. Things changed since we graduated, so now every time i got a chance to spend time with them, I will surely grab that once in a while opportunity. Last December 6,2008 is the wedding of our dear friend Pearl, I use to call her TF as in "thick and fat"..hehe... Me, Hazel and Chai my bestbuddz decided to go to Koronodal City to attend the very special day of Pearl. This is one of her precious moment,she will only get married once in a life time so we will not miss the chance to witness her happiness.

Marbel here we come....

We arrive around 9am. We went directly to the hotel to fix our selves since the wedding will start 10 am. I 'am an instant bridesmaid because the niece of pearl back out. She called me up to replace his niece the day before the wedding..weeehhh.. so here we are after fixing our selves.

prettyness..hihi

@ the church( the bride, instant bridesmaid, chai and hazel )

@ the reception with the bride

were tight....

Thing were not yet done, after the wedding we went to a resort to take some pictures, to bond and to be with nature. Since it's rare to do things like this so we make it sure that we spend it well...here are our pictures.. crazy and bubbly...


weeeh the experience is perfectly great, I'm so happy and blessed to have them as my friends they were my precious treasures... hope to do the same things soon. more adventures gurls..hehe

Fresh from bohol...

My officemates went to Bohol and Cebu for a vacation trip. I'm so happy that they brought me "pasalubong" weehh.. super thank you guys.. Your all so thoughtful. I'm blessed to have all of you. keep rocking!.. I hope to join you on your next trip...Thanks again!

Its a Holiday..

Dec.1,2008 was a holiday in celebration of Bonifacio Day!.. weeeh.. I celebrated the holiday with my friends..

I'm with them :

James "aka" Butiki, Pearl "aka" TF,Hazel "aka" Poky, Rosavi "aka" Chai and Baby Gab...

Wedding Invitation : Pearl and Jhong this would be on Saturday @ Koronal. So it means I will be going to Marbel this weekend to attend the wedding..weeeh..

True Confession

Friday Night,I chatted with my friend let's name him chimpanzee, primate or better yet "opaw"..haha..peace.. He told me that we should meet the next day, together with my other girl friends, cause he wanted to tell us something. Something he would confess. Though I really don't know if I would believe him,but since I consider him as one of my best friends, I would come and listen whatever he would tell us.
We meet @ Ness 74 Cafe, around 3pm. Hazel and Chai were late.. hmmm... what's new? haha.. So the confession of "opaw" started. Guess what he tell us?...hmmm?...He told us He will now soon become a "Father". Yes! You read it right , "Daddy na gyud siya soon!, Daddy Opaw". He was telling us that we should call him "Daddy Opaw" few weeks ago, but that was just a joke. Right now, It was really confirm that his gonna be a Dad soon.. He was quite confuse of his feeling @ this moment but I know and I hope that sooner or later things would be better. It might not be the right time, but things always happen for a reason. No matter what decision you made dude, you know were just here for yah.. We will always be your friends.. He also confess that, he and one of our friend would stop seeing or communicating each other, because of some personal reason. I don't want to elaborate this, it was really sad for me, why it need to happen, both have no choice and I guess It is the best thing to do. It touches me,when you said that you would take all the responsibility cause if time would come then same situation happen to us, you can't bare the pain if the guy would not take responsible of what happen for any cause. Now I realize na "Palanga zud diay me nimo"..hehe...The lyrics you send me last night remind me of you and the friendship we all had:

Slipknot
Till We Die

Our friends
Are all hurting
From moments a
And regrets
And charity
Laced with a lie
Still we keep hoping
To fix all the defects
And strengthen
These seminal times
We go on together
For better or worse
Our history
Is to real to hate
Now and forever
We stay until morning
And promise to fight
For our fate

Til we die
Til we die

The start of a journey
Is every bit worth it
I can't let you
Down anymore
The sky
Is still clearing
We're never afraid
And the consciences
Opens the door
I never stopped trying
I never stopped
Feeling like family
Is much more than blood
Don't go on without me
The piece
That I represent
Compliments each
And everyone

Til we die
Til we die

We won't be forgotten
We'll never give in
This war we've achieved
Has allowed us to win

Til we die
Til we die

My last true confession
Will open your eyes
I've never known
Trust like the night
Let it be spoken
Let it be screamed
They'll never ever
Take us alive

Carry on
Carry on

(We'll never be broken
We won't be denied)
(Our war is the present
We need to deny)

I know that things would not be the same us before, since you have a bigger responsibility now.. Just always remember the group hug!... the hug before we separate ways last Saturday..Were soon be "Kumpare and Kumare" ..hehe... just remember these faces..hehe.. CONGRATZ DUDE!
"Ayaw pang pa miss kayo hah...kikita japon ta..hehe.. hope maka join zud ka sa wedding ni TF hah"..hehe

Happy Monthsary....♥

July 7,2008 is our 30th monthsary. We been this far praying and hoping that we would go on to what we called forever... When 7th day of month came, we usually had our arguments and as expected this month is the same thing.. we fight? why? hmmm... because he always forgot...celebrating monthsary is not his thing and I hate him for that... I could not accept his reasons...waaahhh... he always tell me that monthsary does not matter to him because he don't wanna count the days we been together cause he want me to stay with him for the rest of our lives,the only thing he would never forget is the day when I said yes and be his girl....in away he had his reason and justifications but the thing is I just can't accept it...hahah... I know he always try to remember it, I can see his sincerity when we argued... last time the only thing he said " I'm sorry and I love you "... still i keep on nagging until he get mad... waaahhhh... hahai.... We just can't take a long arguments and misunderstanding so eventually after a day or less were ok.. as if nothing happen... hahai...

Bhe, thank you for being my friend, my enemy as well, for the constant understanding and for not letting me go when I'm about to give up... With you I can always be me... Thanks for the love and the happiness you always gave me... I know that God only knows if were going to be forever... But I'm always thankful to him for giving me YOU in my life... Happy Monthsary, you will always be loved by me.. =)
