ARTE QUEEN aka princess…….

Disclaimer:  walang disclaimer

I've a friend who's super sa kakikayan…known her for a long time now. Actually, I can't remember how and when we really became good friends. They only adopted me sa circle of friends nila (Heather, Vess, Aileen, Ayen). I was even closer with the other four but not really with her. Kasi may sarili siyang mundo non. She had lots of friends and that time she used to hopped from one circle to another (well, that's what I noticed then)…siguro that's why we didn't have the time to really get to know each other well. But now it's different..we're closer now and I appreciate her more than ever. And, mas nakilala ko siya ng husto…..na:

• maarte pala siya

•  materyosa (gusto niya laging bago. E usually sa office every Friday is jeans day, so kailangan bago damit niya…tapos, ang di ko talaga makakalimutan sa kanya during our decking days nung mga TLs pa kami, if it's her deck day…kailangan bago ang blouse na suot niya. Meron pang time nun na GY OIC siya grabe, akala mo may gimik siya dahil she's really dressed up..hehe peace tayo!), aside from thhhhhhhhhose, she only buys stuff that are really branded and costly… like kanina, we're at the office and asked me for a lotion kasi she forgot her 'mamahaling lotion' raw…super gosh talaga..goodness!

• madali ring bumenta ang mga jokes sa kanya, she laughs easily and minsan when she laughs parang wala na siyang reputasyon na pinangangalagaan, so unlike her…:)

• very fashionable too..she always look her best

• she's super addict too sa pictures, every angle dapat may picture..nakaupo, nakatayo, nakahiga…every position na alam niya dapat may picture…hayyyyy…ang arte talaga.

• she loves to sing a.k.a. videoke addict. her trademark song? 'Like a Virgin'. aside from Like a Virgin, she loves pa heartbreaking songs, sad songs…yung mga songs ni Rachel Alejandro? she loves them kasi lagi niyang kinakanta whenever we go out for a videoke.

Kidding aside….how do I really perceive Nyles (supposed to be spelled Niles but I like the way I spell her name)?

Well…Nyles is a good friend. Lately, my appreciation of her grows more and more because she's honest, she knows what she wants (when she wants something, she'll exert efforts and makes sure that she gets it), very caring and for me, unpretentious. Beneath the girlie and softie facade is a tough person inside, she fights and proves her worth. She's well liked too, why? because she's friendly and knows how to get along with people. She knows what her flaws are and tries to love herself as she is…(tama ba, Nyles?) Others may disagree with me, but what the heck…who cares? One more thing, what I really envy pa kay Nyles is her firmness in making decisions…unlike me, I always hesitate:(

I know too that there are things that I still don't know about her, her family…etc. It's okay, one of the facets of friendship is discovery. Saka, the openness of a person has its own limitations din, set by that person…it's her right to open up herself only to a certain extent. Knowing someone is a privilege, knowing  someone's thoughts and feelings is a greater privilege. And I feel privileged.

Ako, I only trust a few people (teka, ilan nga ba ang few sa kin? parang madami pa rin hehe). We have lots of friends, acquiantances…but sometimes we only trust a few of them..not only with your secrets but the you of YOU…we only give our trust to the people we feel comfortable with,with friends who won't easily judge us, friends with whom we have felt that kind of sincerity and open-mindedness…and Nyles is one of the few. My secrets are safe with her, I know (hindi nman karamihan ang mga secrets na 'yon hehe..teka, meron ba?) I trust her.

In a way, I feel rin naman that Nyles trusts me (feel ko lang naman). We've shared so many things already and I'd like to thank you, Nyles…for trusting me. When we share a part of ourselves to other people, we give them the power to hurt us, reject us, judge us…it's a risk yes, and you took that risk with me. Thank you.

I may not be the perfect friend nor the 'best' to you but I am trying to be a better friend….
