good morning

Lai (a friend from my first job) and I watched Spiderman last Friday at Shangrila. T'was a very good movie and I enjoyed it a lot. Then Jen texted me if we could meet again since Pam was asking if we could have our 'inuman' session (and Pam just went out of the hospital and was staying in a hotel). Flor texted me that she's with Pam already and that Jen and I should just meet her there in Monumento. I told them that I was still watching the movie and will just proceed there maybe with JEn since she too was in Pampanga that time.

The movie ended at around past 9pm (we got there at 630pm). Then me and Lai had a small talk outside Shangrila while smoking. We talked about our jobs, lives and other people. Then she asked me if I have a new prospect already to which I said 'no, none at all.' Lai's also sort of like me, a little conservative and still unattached. I know that she wants to find her prince charming and I told her it will come. Told her too that she doesn't have to mind the pressure other people put on her because it gives her extra worries to carry. She once told me that she envies me because I carry myself well and its as if I don't have pressures of wanting to have a boyfriend, it's like I don't worry at all. It's like I'm not pressured. I just told her, that of course,who would not want to have someone special in your life. It's just that I don't allow other people to pressure me. When it comes to that stuff, I am the only one who can pressure me. After all, I know myself more than they do. I just don't know if Lai has the same faith and belief but sometimes kasi, she's always worrying. It's not that I don't worry at all, of course I do at times but I always manage them because basically, I'm really a worrier too. I just count my blessings and see that my little worries in life are nothing compared to the blessings that I have. She's my friend and I want to impart little things that I learned in life to her and, she to me. 

Whenever I meet different sets of friends or colleagues, I always look forward to this kind of talk. It feels nice to share your thoughts and feelings to the people you care about because you know that they will understand. Most importantly, they listen well and give you a piece of themselves. They know you too well to judge your actions. They believe that whatever made you do a certain thing is because you have a reason for it, they may not agree to it yes, but they respect your decision.

It's really nice to find true friends who make your life even more meaningful despite the distance and the rarity of moments of being physically together.
