Friends

(Warning: Mushy)

I couldn't really put into words how grateful I am that God invented Friends (or chums). But here's an attempt...

Aside from the outrageous and undeniably fun moments I almost always have with them, they can be really really serious when it comes to serious things that we encounter in life. Supporting, encourage, advising. It surprises me sometimes.

And when life does not present any solution to a problem, a simple pat at on the back would make a big, big difference. Giant. Its as if the problem becomes secondary and all you can see are the smiles of your loving friends, and suddenly the world becomes all bright and cheerful again.

We don't necessarily agree on things, nor do the same leisurely activities, nor like particular philosophies each has on their lives, but at the same time, we are also alike in many ways, agree on many things, share the same views and do things together. Gulo, pero you know how it is.

They are also inspirations to pushing myself to being the best, to doing what I really want to do in life, and always taking risks.

On my last birthday, I didn't have the money to treat them. I felt bad actually, but I'll make it up with them soon. They were the ones who went to my apartment and brought food to sort of do a little celebration for my birthday. Makes me teary eyed sometimes when I think about it.

See! These acts of, I don't know, kindness?, are things that make them really, really special.

I can't possibly live in this world without Friends. I would've probably died of stress, depression and loneliness. I would've been locked up in a mental institution, I guess.

I love my friends, my chums.

I googled for some nice friendship quotes so I can end this entry nicely and I chose this:

"My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life."
-Lee Iacocca

Well, I've got more.
