i've already made a lot of friendships and aquaintances. the following people are who i consider my best friends.

nicole imaysay. we've been friends since kindergarten. we've seen each other bloom into young ladies. even if we are already teenagers, we still play our favorite games like patintero, or ice water. we still enjoy it as much as we did when we were years younger. she's my childhood friend.

zarah de leon. she's my mom in my previous school. she tells me a lot about anime and a lot about how it's going to be when we get separated because i will go to pshs. she is the one who prepared me for what i've experienced and what i will be experiencing. she's like a teacher to me.

karen delantar. she's the only person i can get really philosophical about stuff. i tell her something i've noticed, like why people backstab, and then she will agree with me and share some of her own observations. she's also the person who tells me stuff about human behaviour. no, she's not a nerd, we're just both observative.

giselle diaz. she's my mom in our school and she does a good job at it. she likes to tell me love stories and she always makes me laugh. she also likes giving me hugs and kisses. whenever i get scared, she lets me sleep beside her. last year, when i was still mad at my real mom, i always run to her. she also gives me advice on friendships.

maan manaol. she's the one who helps me be closer to God. she is the one who always tells me to pray to God and my companion whenever i go to confessions. besides that, she's the one who reminds me about God during my breakdowns. she is also the corniest person i've ever met. she has the amazing ability of making a corny joke out of almost everything i say.

marianne padilla. she knows a lot about girl world and about how it goes. she's the one who guides me. she's like my adviser. but she can be really weird in a good and funny way when she's hyper. and that's one of the things that makes me laugh. she is the only person i can talk to about girly girl stuff.

jc cruz. she is like my big sister. being the eldest, i've never experienced having one. she would tell me stuff about what it's like to be her and she is the one who invites us to gimmicks. she is the one who is encouraging me to experience life at its best. to enjoy every minute, every second of it. just like my dream big sister.

lastly, michael argel alcabaza. (yak binuo!) together with nicole, he is one of my childhood friends. somehow i feel awkward whenever i'm with him so i don't talk to him that much anymore. but whatever happens, he is still one of my best friends.

for those i didn't mention who feel that they should be there, maybe i need more time to process (huh?) our friendship, before i can call you my best friend. bye!
