FRIENDS AND FRIENDSHIP

According Webster’s Comprehensive Dictionary, International Edition, the definition of friend and friendship are as follows:

FRIEND (frend) n. 1 One who cherishes kind regard for another person; an intimate and trustworthy companion. 2 One who regards a thing with favor; a promoter. 3 An adherent; ally; one of the same nation or party.
FRIENDSHIP (frend’ship) n. 1 Mutual regard by cherished minds. 2 The state of the fact of being friends

Anyhow, my definition of a friend is ONE WHO NEVER FAILS TO UNDERSTAND, TRUST, RESPECT AND LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY; ALWAYS LOOKS OUT FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF THE OTHER; ALWAYS IN THE PURSUIT OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE OTHER; ONE WHO NEVER JUDGES AND AN HONEST MIRROR WHO WILL BE VERY TRUTHFUL IN A VERY CARING WAY.

I believe I have been very good to those I consider “my friends”. I will fight for them, live for them and die for them. Sometimes, I believe it’s a little “suffocating” to be one of my friends. I was once told that a person is very lucky if he can count his true friends using both hands. All I know is that I have a lot of acquaintances, but really few true friends. So let me pay tribute to those whom I consider my “truest”and “bestest” friends.

To Ja9 and Mheenakins (in alphabetical order): for always putting up with me, even in my most unlikable state. For always being there, in good times and in bad. For letting me to be ME, without prejudice. We may not be sisters by blood, but we’re definitely sisters by heart..
To Iris and Mama Rose (in alphabetical order): for being the “sensible” ones, for being there, in good times and in bad.
To Dh3nz and Leslie Boy (in alphabetical order): for being there, when my sisters are “unavoidably detained”.. more bubba gump sessions to come…
To Alvin, Jake and Jep (in alphabetical order): for never judging me in my most trying times.. I thank you….
To Charles: for being my HONEST MIRROR, for all the criticisms (whether constructive or not) with high regard for my feelings.. thanks a lot!
To Mike: for all the advice, the help and the treats.. for accepting me for who and what I am, for being always available for me..
To Sir Glen: for the “pagkalinga”.. for being open-minded and everything..
To Leah Fe: for getting angry when I'm not capable of getting angry... for making me realize some things in life, you don't know how much i treasure our times together..
To Marianne and Marloun: for all the help, for being nice and for being true.. for the inspiration, that love still exists, for inspiring me that someday, I may also find my one true love, and have the "marianne and marloun" kind of relationship.. thank you..
To those unnamed people, you’ll know you’re a friend if you fit my definition…
