Until Our Blood Dries Out

You know when people say that a man and a woman’s friendship cannot last unless they’re not in love? And that for a fact is impossible? Well, I think that’s bullshit.

I’ve been best friends with the same guy for 11 years. 11 years – heck of a long time. I remember when I met this awkward boy in 5th grade… I was the cutest tomboy then and he was sorta the “crush ng bayan”. Didn’t really think we’d click until he started crushing on this classmate of ours and needed some advice. From there to daily lunch breaks and afternoon dragonfly sessions (we’d catch them from our school’s backyard and eventually let them go), to trike rides together on our way home (we live at the same village), and to sharing of secrets (we keep until today), we became the best of friends.

Our friendship grew as we grew together. It’s the best guy friendship a girl could ever have, the right amount of sweetness and bitterness all rolled to one. This guy would look after me and make me feel secured and sometimes he’d let me do the craziest things in life yet remind me of my limits. People ask me if I’ve ever developed a liking for this man and I answer a straight no because that is the truth. He’s a brother to me and he will be the god father of my children. That’s how we roll.

And to this man, I’m grateful for another year you’re celebrating in your life today. Without you, I just won’t be able to survive the toughest times of my life and won’t be having the best laughs ever.

Years back.

To King, a happy happy birthday! I know we’d celebrate more parties and more sentimental moments together! Thank you and cheers to more years of friendship!

 

Happy Birthday, Armi!

I could be so horrible at birthday posts sometimes but I wouldn’t let the 2nd of January pass without this!

To the sister I never had, the one who gives me advice - either by words or by songs that she creates – as if she has gone through them,  to the one I would love to keep as a friend for lifetime, happy birthday Armi! Lots of love and hugs!

Cat people! <3
