For me having a small circle of friends is way better than having a lot of friends then you don't know who's real and fake. After seeing the trending topics on social media this morning about the 2 vloggers that I followed.

Generous yet sumbaterang friend

I kinda recall a friend of mine when I was working in Cebu. I meet this girl when I was working as a push girl at a wine distributor. We became workmates then we became friends. She had a complicated relationship. She's married to a Japanese man yet the man left her hanging. She was in a relationship with a married man. Anyway, I don't mind her personal agenda. I accept her as a friend.

We have a lot in common that's why we became closer to each other. We usually hang out after our work and mostly she offered to buy food etc every time we go out. I never ask her to do that pero siya ang may gusto na elibre ako.Then one time when we are hanging out she suddenly says "Oi Libre mo naman ako? Honestly, if I just have lots of extra money why not. Di naman ako madamot na tao eh.Mapagbigay ako.Yet I have to save as much as I can as I was raising my daughter alone at that time. She knows my personal life. She should understand me better. I am not trying to take advantage of her being so generous to me. I am happy that she knows how to share her blessings in life but for me when you help or give something to someone you will not expect something in return.

So when the time I already go back to my province we still remain friends. We usually talk via Facebook Messenger. One time I had a Foreigner boyfriend. She has seen all the photos I uploaded on my Facebook account. She suddenly messages me saying ,oii day tagae ko ug afam beh( girl give me a foreign man). And my reaction was like, is afam people like just a toy that you can just easily give them when someone is asking for it? So I told her sorry I don't know any afam that I can recommend to her. Coz honestly I didn't ask anyone to give me an afam LOL. Pinaghirapan ko yun sa mga dating site sizzz.So dun nagsimulang nagkalamat yung friendship namin dahil lang sa di ko naibigay yung hinihingi niya.She started telling me na sa lahat ba naman ng binigay niya sa akin di ko sa magawang tulungan or bigyan ng afam.

Friend kami pag may kailangan siya

So another person I meet in my workplace (computer shop). I meet her when she was pregnant with her second child. I honestly don't know her. When the first time I see her di ko siya bet kasi mataray at mukha siyang maarte(parang ako lang ang peg ).The second time she drop by here at my workplace I got the chance to know her a bit. Then I got to see her again a few months after niyang manganak.I honestly admire her personality. Strong independent woman.Madiskarte din siyang tao.Imagine whenever she doesn't have anyone to take care of her daughter (few months old)she will take it with her wherever she goes. She was selling a kakanin (Filipino snack) called Alupi. I honestly feel pity for her. I can't imagine being on her part. As my way of helping her, I used to buy whatever she sell. She even ask a favor if I can keep her profit from her small business because her live-in partner kept on stealing her hard-earned money. I agreed as my way of helping her.

I also gave her the pre-love clothes of my daughter for her daughter. There was also a time that she can't sell Alupi since it was raining and she told me that she don't have enough money to buy milk for her daughter. Since my daughter was still drinking milk at that time not infant milk though pero I still offer her the available milk that I have. Honestly, I am happy that even in my own simple ways I was able to help her.

Then the time comes that she had to leave her live-in partner for good. She had to go back to Gensan. She was original from Gensan. She promise to contact me via Facebook yet I didn't hear any news from her. Until one time she suddenly messages me asking for a favor.Nagulat ako besh,dahil siguro naging okay na yung life niya sa Gensan so kinalimutan na niya ako.At bigla nalang siyang magchachat sa akin dahil may kailangan siya? Nagtampo ako sa kanya dahil I treasured our friendship pero parang ako lang pala ang nagbigay ng halaga sa friendship namin.

Ang reporter kong friend

I meet this Momshie dahil classmate yung anak namin.So lagi kaming nagkikita sa school.Until we became close.I usually visit their house kasi nasa centro siya kaya malapit lang sa workplace ko.Chicka kami ng chicka until I share a secret na akala ko I can trust her.But I was wrong.I shared something about someone pero nalaman ko na lang na nirelay pala niya kung anon yung sinabi ko dun sa taong pinag usapan namin.Ang galing diba?So sa inis ko I called her saktong nasa supermarket ako nung nalaman ko yung ginawa niya kaya pinagtatalakan ko siya sinabi ko gusto pala niyang maging reporter ba't di siya nag reporter.So pagka uwi ko galing sa supermarket pinuntahan niya ako sa workplace ko at doon na humihingi ng sorry,kesyo daw baka may gusto lang sirain yung friendship namin,may paluhod luhod at iyak effect pa siya.Simula nun di na kami naging close sa isa't isa.

Ending thoughts

I am a very friendly person.I value my friends.Pero pag my pinakita kang hindi maganda sa akin then sorry,end of friendship agad.I am the kind of person who trust easily kaya laging ending naabuso yung kabutihang pinakita ko.Buti nalang I found real friends na handa akong damayan through my ups and downs in life.Kaso nga lang long distance na yung friendship namin.Nasa Davao yung isa(Married without a kid yet),nasa Cebu yung isa(Married with one kid) at nasa ibang bayan(a single mom of one) dito sa Bohol yung isa.Puro na kami my mga sariling buhay.We still take time to talk pag di busy sa work at sa personal life.Pero iba pa rin yung nakakasama at nakakausap ko sila in person.Kakamiss magkaroon ng kachicka.
