Way back in college.,(nukks!.maka-way back parang 10 years na ang lumipas eh no?)..oh eto na talaga., i was just in first year when i met this 'someone'.,first meeting namin sa Psychology 101 and the Professor happened to be our class adviser for the whole semester. I seated in front of the second row beside my classmate Julie (one of my best buddy in college.). the class was just about to start when this 'someone' approach me and asked "may nakaupo ba dito?" she has this wide smile in her lips when..errr (mananagalog nako!) so yun nga.,nakangiti sya sakin nung lumingon ako para sagutin ang tanong nya ng 'wala'.. (oo!,.ganon ako sa mga hindi ko kilala..iilang words lang ang kaya kong ibahagi sa kanila.). She asked me if she can take the seat so i just said yes. I dont know how but I just found myself having a little chitchat with her,.we're even starting to throw 'mild' jokes with each other. We spend our first meeting in Psyc 101 in nominating our class officers for the first semester..,i was a bit comfortable with my new seatmate now whos name is Eunice by the way, she keeps on laughing at me everytime i talk (ung feeling na,parang lahat yata ng sasabihin ko akala nya joke!.) so para makabawi ako,.I nominated her as a 'Board Member' (ung taga bura ng sulat sa blackboard at white board everytime matatapos ang isang subject) and tadaaa!,.she won! (hahahahaha) i keep on laughing 'till the class was dismissed by Dr.Quiambao (our class adviser). Julie and i spend the breaktime with Eunice together with our two classmates Gerlie and Cjarlyn. I can still remember our first meryenda together is Burger buy 1 take 1 (sinong hindi naka-try nito nung first year?) Julie and Sarah (Sarah is with me and Julie before we met Eunice,Cj and Gerlie FYI) so as Gerlie and Cj,so eunice and i shared 1 order of buy 1 take 1 burger that costs 25 pesos., she paid 13 php and i pais 12 php,.i was shy then because she offered to paid more than i paid (oo!.ganyan kami kagalante!...tama ka.galante nga ang nabasa mo!.mahalaga ang bawat sentimo nung College!) Me trying to get even, paid for her magnolia juice drink that causes 12 pesos that time. (promise,un ang kauna unahang pagkakataon na hindi ako nag isip sa mababawas sa baon ko.,as in,bayad agad kay ate para hindi na makapalag si eunice!.sangalan ng hiyang inabot ko sa piso.!)
From then on, Julie,Eunice,Gerlie,Sarah,Cjarlyn and I become close buddies. We shared jokes and stories during our 'pamatay' na 3-4 hours break time, eat late lunch together, review together, and walk together hanggang palabas sa gate ng school. Though we are 6 in the group,.there is this 'someone' who became the closest to my heart (charot!).pero totoo yon,. Eunice and I became the closest buddy from the day we met in first year upto the time we receive our college degree in Business Economics.
Our friendship means a lot specially to me. The first thing i love about eunice is that, BFF nya si Lordie!..hahaha..feeling ko tuloy.,ang bait bait ko pag magkadikit kame kahit lagi ko syang binu-bully!. Second,. I really admire her patience mula sa pang-aaway,pang-iinis, hanggang sa pagtuturo sakin sa math at econ subjects. Third and last, i love how she value our friendship. It was like, she wouldnt let a day passed without saying sorry whenever i had this 'tantrums' thingy..(oo na!.topak un!.ayaw ko ng tagalog!.english dapat di ba?).
Sa lahat ng ayaw ko,sya ang pinaka favorite ko. Minsan bigla nalang ayaw ko syang kausapin ayaw ko syang tignan kahit wala naman syang ginagawa sakin. Buti nalang talaga, .. .. uhm..basta, buti nalang talaga!. ang salbahe ko bang bestfriend?..kaka-chat ko lang kay Eunice and i asked her that question and her answer is, 'NO.a bestfriend is someone who understand you until the end.Sanayan lang yan.hello?4 years na tayong bestfriend ganito parin tayo'. (that's exactly her answer.with explanation pa kahit hindi ko tinanong ng "why?" para intense siguro..haha.Biased ba sya?.bestfriend nya ko wag kayong anu dyan!).
Describe Eunice in 1 word. And my answer will be 'blessing'. Whenever i count my blessings, i always count her twice. (nuks!.ang swetttt ko!)
Let me share this another 'piece of cake' in the not so long ago heart break of my bestfriend.,Bilang mga responsableng anak,.three days after our graduation day,.we started working in Manila, this time its just me,Eunice and Julie. Eunice had a boyfriend for i think more or less 3 years?.. among the 3 of us, Eunice is the only one who have a stable relationship that time.,(M.U M.U nalang kami ni david non eh..so sad :( ) I had witnessed their love story and i must say, like normal couples, they fight and argue on somethings then kiss and make up after..ung tipikal na nagyayare sa isang relationship.,and as Eunice's bully bestfriend, i often say, 'uhmp!.i told you he's no good for you!' then she will answer me 'hindi naman..' (with matching paawa face)..whenever she's having this little drama with her boyfriend.,hindi ko pinapansin ung mga kwento nya..(pasensya na talaga!.hindi ko kaya ang deretchahang english!.hindi nyo na ko maiintindihan pag pinush ko to promise!).so un nga..kibit balikat lang ako okaya naman magtatanong ako ng ibang bagay like, 'magkakatuluyan kaya kami ni david?' which is sasagutin naman nya ng 'nasasayo naman yan eh' then charrraaann!!. naliko na ang topic..hindi naman sa ayaw ko syang damayan or what kaya ayokong naririnig ung mga 'little dramas' nya at ng boyfriend nya,its just that.. when she's sad, the feeling is mutual plus, her ex is a big NO-NO for me..as in never in my wildest dream na nagustuhan ko sya para sa bestfriend ko (except nung pinadalhan nya ko ng burney's burger nung birthday ko nung 4th years college..hahaha! thanks kervs!)..so going back,.of course as a bestfriend,.kahit ayoko, suporta nalang,dun sya masaya eh.,ayoko na ulit ulitin ung moment na pinapili ko sya between me and her beloved boyfriend.. 'ako o sya?' (cant remember if that was my exact question ..) and guess what?..syempre bilang inlove na girlfriend at mapagmahal na bestfriend,. hindi sya pumili..ayaw nya!.pero may sinabi sya noon na hindi ko kakalimutan ever!.that hurts my 'bestfriend' ego big time!.(pero syempre hindi ko sasabihin,.mababasa nya eh!.i already kept that for years and im still want to keep it,.for life!) so un nga, nakita ko kung gaano sya nag grow, silang dalawa..but just like what they say, hindi lahat ng love story my happy ending., it was like,.its just yesterday when i cried a river because David left me,.tapos ngayon, sya naman ang iniwan ni 'Blue' (lets call Eunice ex, Blue..un ang una kong nakita dito sa desk eh..cord na kulay Blue,.Coward nalang sana kaso,.mabait ako di ba?.kaya Blue nalang.). whenever i hear her silent cries at night,.i curse Blue in my mind a million times,.but just like before, i never show even a little bit of interest in the story of their break up.,(oo na!.wala akong kwentang bestfriend pero..ano ba?.ayoko syang makitang nasasaktan kasi nasasaktan din ako at gusto ko syang batukan dahil hindi sya nakinig nung sinasabi kong 'he's no good for you'!. naiintindihan mo ba?..syempre hind..lets continue.!). Hanggang ngayon,hindi ko pa alam ang totoo at buong kwento at ayaw ko pang alamin dahil alam ko,.kahit sabihin nyang okay na sya at naka move on na..ramdam kong hindi pa..
So much for that..yun nalang muna.,hintayin natin syang gumawa ng sarili nyang blog para malaman natin ang buong kwento at kung is-share nya.,
Kitams?..parang wala naman akong entry na mas makabuluhan di ba?..kung ano-ano lang kasi ang tumatakbo sa isip ko buong araw..minsan nga naiisip ko.,bat di nalang kaya ako mag asawa ng may magawa akong mas makabuluhan?.sa tingin ko kase,mas productive ang buhay ng taong may asawa.,lalu na ung mga babae.,maglalaba,magluluto,maglilinis,maghuhugas ng pinggan..ung mga ganyan..pero syempre joke lang na gusto ko yang gawin sa edad ko na to!..
PS:
i may not be the showy type of bestfriend, the sweetest and the most caring but Eunice,believe me when i say i Love you like a sister and i will be forever greatful that you seated beside me in our first meeting on Psyc 101,because i already marked that day as one of the blessed day ever happened in my life.
-much love,
your bestfriend :)
