Remember this picture? Hindi ko aakalain na almost one year na pala mula noong kinuha ito. Sorry sa ating jeje faces =))) 

‘What is a friend? A soul dwelling in two bodies.“ - Aristotle

Two years later since it happened, I can still vividly remember the day we became classmates. It was the first day of third year then, and all of us experienced the aftershock of the batch reshuffle. You sat in my front since your last name goes ahead of me during the times where we have to seat in alphabetical order. I didn’t get to talk to you on that first day, though. But the next day, I got the courage to say hello to you. And as they say, the rest is history.  Naalala ko pa rin yong times na sabay tayo pumupunta sa harapan ng III-6 classroom kasi inaabangan ko yong mga busmates ko noon. Tapos habang naghihintay tayo, nagtatawanan tayo and nagkukuwento about everything. Kapag may problem ako, you were always there to give me great advice and vice versa. 

Thank you very much for being one of the most wonderful friends I’ve ever met in my life. Salamat sa lahat ng pang-aasar mo about this and that (haha!), sa support mo through the best and worst times, and for being the friend with a sunshine smile. Thank you also for being a caring, loving, understanding, courageous, and unselfish friend. You possess numerous admirable traits that’s why a lot of people (including me) are so lucky to have met you. I will always remember every precious moment we spent together as friends - Seniors’ Night, Aly and Angel’s birthday last year, our daily breaktimes in the basement, outbounds, retreats, Bandfest (because S6T was complete unlike last year), our last Family Day, and even the small talks we had. Everytime na nakikita ko yong mga barkada pics natin, I can’t feel anything but sadness because the six of us haven’t seen each other as a complete group since April. Noong pumunta nga ako two weeks ago sa STC to get the annual, winish ko na sana naroon kayong lahat para mag-bonding tayo kahit only on that day. 

There you go, the surprise I promised you on FB last night. ;) I really hope you will find time to visit Taft anytime. Whenever you need a friend to help you, just text me and I’ll reply to you in five seconds quick. I miss everything about you: your trademark laugh (meron ba?), your jokes, your kikayness, your cute handwriting, and all the things that make you special. Study hard and be determined to be a successful pharmacist like you always dreamed of. Remember than no one can ever replace you because you’re amazing just the way you are!  Hihi =))

Happy 17th birthday, Bevz! Let me give you a virtual hug >:D<
