Today is my friend Paola Malong's 20th birthday. Tomorrow will be the 20th birthday of another good friend of mine, Maita Piedra. It has been a thrill that I've been friends to the both of them since late in frosh year. Every time I see them I always say to myself, "Wow! Mukhang masaya na ko." And they seem to make me smile and feel comfortable with almost everything.
Maita and I have been a month removed from graduating in college, and the last time we spoke to each other was when we turned over our graduation attire and passes to the school. Yet I still felt as if we spoke to each other in spirit since then. Indeed I missed the days when we were sharing a lot of things such as school stuff and other works. I always thought Maita was a great friend, and a beautiful one at best, and to this day, even if we met occasionally, I still maintained that I found a friend who will make me feel comfortable even in pressure situations.
Paola has been my friend since late in frosh year, but I felt bad about graduating earlier than her. It was a regret that still hangs on my mind since that hot day in the PICC. Still I convinced her to finish strong and make the most of every opportunity. The reason why Paola didn't join us that October was because of her obligations as the editor-in-chief of our college yearbook for 2012. And she is also working on her thesis. Nevertheless, I feel happy for her, in that she is doing her best on both of them. All I hope for her is to be proud and work well.
To both of my friends who just blew their 20th candles, happy birthday. Hoping for more beautiful days to come.
