Day 1: A Letter to My Best Friend

The thing is, I have lots of best friends. I don't like the label 'best friend' though. coz that means among all your friends there is that friend who is the 'best'. The thought of comparing my friends is the part that I don't like. Because I believe that each of my friends have their own strengths and weakness and they complement with each other and with me, and there's no point on picking just one among all the others just to label them a best friend. :D But for the heck of meeting the requirement of this letter, that should be addressed to a best friend, meaning just one, I shall then select the one who's been with me since forever, although now we're separated by distance. But I always believe that we're going to be Best Friends Forever. ^_^

This one's for you. :)

Dearest Best friend,

It's been so long since we've last seen each other. Maybe 2 or 3 months now. Is that long enough to actually make it valid for me to say 'so long since we've last seen each other'? Hmm... I wonder what you're doing right now while I'm making this letter. You're probably sleeping by now, or got your nose buried in your nursing books, studying for the board exams. Just thinking about that makes me miss you more now. I wish that I'm there right now, cheering you on as you take this step towards your goal. I want to be there with you when you're stressed from your reviews and we could just hang out and talk endlessly about anything under the sun. Or we could cook something and just splurge on the food that we made. Of course it would taste really good because you're the one cooking, I'm basically just assisting . Haha. Among us, you're the one who's good with that stuff. Remember the days when you also used to visit our house then we would pick the fruits from the garden and eat it while watching kuya tyronne, kuya kyle and your younger brother play games in our family computer. Haha. Oh those days. And you remember, that funny day we recorded ourselves while talking and eating? I wish I still have that cassette tape. :( I really really treasure those memories. Those were just a small fraction of all the wonderful memories I've spent with you. I really am thankful that I have you in my life. There were also those bad times. But I guess it's too few to remember it. Really, no kidding. The only time I remember us having a fight was during 5th Grade? I think. Most of the bad times too were caused by me. I've always been the headstrong and stubborn one. And you always get caught up when I have arguments with my mom, especially when she attempts to compare me to you. You were the good girl. And I was, well, the disobendient one. I don't hate you for that though. It's true anyway. And I still love you.

I really pray that you keep up with what you're doing right now for the Lord, for your family, your friends, and for your self. You're going to be great in the future. I love you dear. No one can really replace you.
