Yesterday, finally my circle completely got to see each other. We are five in this, but it is always the three of us that can see each other knowing that we are living under the same roof. The other two is in different places. However, yesterday we finally saw each other again. We have our lunch out at Seafood Paradise and we got to talk about life and how each other is doing individually.
With this one, I wanted to share to you how these people affect my well being, and how they helped me grow as a person.
Jheah, my mamii
I used to call her mamii and she used to call me bibi. Well, someone calling you that name feels like home. I mean, it's just so sweet to hear it from someone. I can say that she loves me as well the way I love her. With mamii, I learned a lot. If you remembered, she was the subject I have on my previous article, Hello world! Is this the youth you promised? Through her, I realized that not everyone who laughs the most are really happy, that not everyone who doesnt show weakness are really strong, and not everyone who is hardworking doesn't get tired. Every problem I have, I always share it to her; may it be with lovelife, work related, family, and even financially. She is always available for me. She never get tired with my rants and never disappoint my expectation on her. I mean, she is an ideal friend. The friend you can lean on and the friend you can trust. That is how I learned from her. That in this world full of lies and fake people, you can be honest and a genuine one.
Ramon, my ching ching
Ramon is actually a boy. The friendship we have is unexpected. I mean, I am easily get intimidated with boys, but with him I felt very comfortable. He is the one that cooks for us at home. He used to annoy me during work and always scare me to death, like if I will go out, he will hide in the door and scare me with anything he has. I can say, it's his happiness making me startled. Well, I get used to him doing it. Another thing, since we are in different rooms and has different shift for work and he will end his shift at 4:00 AM and by that time, I am just starting mine, him being bored after work and cannot sleep right away, he always stay in my room to just annoy me and just plainly stay there. I mean, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend and as a grown up individual we should not stay in the same room. (I know you know what I mean, and I am inlove with someone too. Lol!) But with him it is different. I do not fear him staying on my room for hours just to play ML. I am comfortable around him that I even feel safer. I mean, what I learned about being around Ramon is that, you can really be a friend with a man without getting in a relationship and not making an issue about it. That not all man will really do something bad to you. That in this world full of unrespectful man, you can really found someone that will respect you wholeheartedly.
Joel, my dear tiyo
From the way I call him, yes his age is really ahead of us. But you know, it is not obvious in his aura. He has a baby face that he even has a clearer skin than us. With tiyo, I am the one who is bully to him, not a bully that I insult him or what, bullying him is my love language and he knows it. He is one of our circle that stays in other place. He is the one keeping our friendship strong. He is mature and can decide rationally. He can handle my attitude as well. A one call away person. The moment I send a message to him, he knows that there is something going on with me that I need him even just virtually. He will avail himself just to listen to my rants. I have this very annoying attitude and mood swings from time to time, but with him I learned a lot. That in this world full of grumpy and impatient people, you will have someone that will understand you and let you feel that you are not alone.
Ariel, my sir QA
Sir Ariel is just new in the circle actually. And I never expected that we will be this close to him. He was actually our QA Analyst during our training and he is very strict and meticulous that everything should be in place, and I hate him for that actually. Not knowing that what he did was for our goodness as well and I can't deny that it really helped. So yes, I never expected that he will be a part of the circle. He just used to comment on our fb post and later on decided that he wanted to see us again. We agreed and with that, we all clicked, our attitude matched that it seems we all were made perfectly for each other to be with. He is as well the one that keeps on motivating us to do well with our work that we can be better as what we have right now, he is humble even though he already has a position in the company. What I learned with sir Ariel as well. That in this world full of bossy and overbearing individual, there will be someone that will step down and level with your position to help you go up and reach your goals.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
With the attitude I have, I never expected that I will be able to meet these amazing person in my life. I used to have a lot of friends just to fit in and just for me to say that I am belong in a group and that I am not alone. Without knowing that it is the quality over quantity. It is not how many friends you have, but it is how truthful and genuine they are for you. I can say that they are not just a friend for me, they are a family from different bloodline. They are a blessing I never wanted to lose. They are precious. And as a return, the only thing I can do for them is to be a good friend and a genuine one. According to Muhammad Ali, “Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.” With that said, I can say that I really learned a lot from them and I know I will be learning more and more.
