I wont be mentioning a name.
But just to let u know, ppl who get on my blogs are generally pretty significant. So hey, what could be more apt than to post one about her on her birthday? Much more its quite an overdue post.
Now, ladies and gentleman, i got to know her when i was in sec 4? Ya. In church. Haha and she was already nice then. 'Sweet young thing' my dad loves to say. So well great..i joint this group and as a result got to know her. Or was it the other way around? hahhaa.
You know those birthday wishes where they reminisce the past and wonder how you all got where you all are? I think i do that quite often with her. Like how did that happen man? Trust me, she aint perfect. Got on my nerves countless times. Though of course i din tell her that. BUT BUT then again, there were countless moments that we shared that i was pretty grateful for.
See..you wouldnt know it unless i told you how special those moments were. Those phone chats. Simple but hilarious. Of course, i always got the upper hand. Cant help being smarter right?? haha.. Also, that one year we brought a friend's 8 year old cousins out for movies and shoppping..think it was christmas. And those deep important melancholic sharings of course...one could never forget that even if he tried. One time i practically dragged her over the phone to meet me for macs breakfast! Wah and she did. How nice was that. And well she has this unattainable chao ji wu di like calligraphic handwriting that can only be read using a mirror or a very imaginative mind. And my birthday present was her magnum opus la! Now, dont i feel proud to have such a friend.
Hahhaa... but then, she also gets her pms periodically. And oh man, i think this is somehting guys face. We guys can never understand how girls can be so friendly one time, and such a.......the next. And when she's hostile, i am like...what the.... Not forgetting her stubborness! Man you cant ask her to do something she didnt wanna do beforehand. She just doesnt budge! Whats with her?!! I mean something as intrinsically good and innocuos as a movie..and she'll be like "doooonnntt waaaannnnt". And i'll be like " oh well".
So weighing pros and cons, between canonizing and condemning, where does she stand? She stands as a friend i've known for about close to 5 years now. A friend that i know something about, and a friend that knows something about me.
And it wouldnt be fair to say that the 5 years was a breeze. haha i didnt exactly make it fantastically easy for her to remain in the friendship- I had my idiosyncracies and my unfair expectations. Of course, there were certain points in time where it got bleak. But well, we still made it didnt we? And THANK GOD we did. Look where we are!
She is still that sweet not-so-young thing, that i constantly find a joy to be with. From watching movies, to attending sessions, to making fun, to being on the bus, to joking about our potential other halves, to letter writing, to deep serious chats, to canoeing, to cycling along east coast, to sending friends off, to praying together... it was wonderful and somewhat touching, really.
So Happy 21st birthday to you. And for the moments that we both shared, thanks. :)
