Flexing my Friends!

July 03, 2021

Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them but you know they're always there.

I don't know what's gotten into me but I just want to brag about all my friends I've met for years. Never once in my life, I felt betrayed by my friends, or so I thought. Because most of my closest friends are still in contact with me. Or maybe I'm just numb and didn't realize I was betrayed by them? uh, I think no...I don't think so

I had friends from school before but only been in contact with a few of them. (excluded the gf of my ex as stated in my previous article).

My personality is just like when you're my friend I'll let you know who I am inside out. I don't share my secret instantly if that's what you think. But when dealing with friends I like to have contact with you most of the time. I'll let you know that I can be a shoulder to lean on if you can't support your head because it's heavy already with all the problems and troubles life has given you. I could be an extra ear if you want to share your tantrums. Sometimes I become your parent, especially when you're using bad words (my babies here who know me understand what I'm saying tehee). I can also be your sparring partner if you want someone to knock some sense in your head in dealing with your problems. In short, I'm a minimal kind of friend who you can not be trusted always lol!. It depends on you if you want this crazy gerl to be your friend.

Workmates before buddies now

If you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless.

We've met different people when we're working and we also met friends. But not all of them who became your friends at work still stay as friends even though you're not working together already.

I'm still in contact with these beautiful "amegas" and we are still updated with everyone's lives, we are all Ninang's with each kid (we're all mothers now). From XS to XXL we are like that hahaha because we were really skinny back then but now we can't fit our faces on the screen.

They are my new workmates now, we are not together now though, I'm the only one left in the main office and they are at the designated Projects outside Cebu. We do VC all the time. Whenever we are together can't contain my laughter. I always complain that my jaw is aching because I laugh too much. We called our group "Ninja Jinja Turtles" hahaha. Even though these buddies are more professional than me, they always have my back. They listen to me all the time. When I scold them about their reports, they didn't take it negatively because they said it's the right thing to do. We learned together about the projects. I miss them.

Community / Church Friends

“A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.” -Saint Basil

When you're serving a community you'll meet different people with different personalities but you have the same vision and mission, to serve God and His people.

Never dreamed of being in a team where humor, dedication, servanthood, leadership can be shown in them. I learned a lot because of them.

We served together. You know when you felt like no ones gonna listen to your useless rants about life and then here comes your friends crashing you up until you no longer feel lonely at all. We served as a family, caring for each other all the time.

In this new normal, Zoom gatherings are mostly available to all of us who can't meet physically. Then these fellas will just randomly call and talks and talk. hahaha. The oldies are ranting because they don't know how to use gadgets but slowly they're learning.

There are times I can't accept their calls but they do understand because I have work or when I'm home I prefer to have more time with my son.

We call our GC "Singles Servants" yes we are all hopeless singles hahaha, but some of them are having partners now, lucky them but not yet married.

You know when you want to be alone but then your friends came crashing into your house like they feel like they're the owner of your house. We are like that with each other. Whenever we sensed that someone is so downcast we planned to home crash to make the said person not feel lonely, for them to feel that they have friends whom they can lean on.

Honestly, I'm not a good friend if you think I am. I have flaws I do have wrongdoings before and I repented. We humans are not perfect, we are made from all our imperfections. And it depends on the people on how they see you as a person or as a friend.

As I mentioned earlier I'm not a kid of friend who will just stay put even though I see something odd. I value friendship as much as I value my family. People come and people go, and it solely depends on you on how to maintain the bond with your friends for the longest time.
I am tactlessly honest with them. I am frank most of the time and I say what's on my mind. Most of them know my personality but they're still keeping in contact with me.

Funny thing about my friends, because they know I am frank and always say what I want to say. They always made me do council with the youth. I seriously can't handle youth. I don't think I can understand them with their mindset. But as I am always here in Read.Cash and mostly I met users who are very young, I realized, well maybe I can but it's limited.

My Friends Online

When I first came to R.C I have little babies (@Cristy, @ExpertWritter, @Ruffa ) and they are still my baby gerls until now. And now that I became a bystander here in Read.Cash the addition of friends list is too many to count. I can't mention all of them because I'm afraid if they didn't think of me as one of their friends hehe. So to my constant commenter and the one who always interacts with me. Thank you so much. your replies in my comments and also your comments in my articles mean a lot to me. I consider everyone I interact with here as my friends though.

Ma'am, nak, mars, beb, bub, langga, sis, bro, pars. You know who you are. Thank you so much...

Personal Thoughts:

Being a friend, you should understand that you don't have the same personalities, sometimes you have misunderstandings and you dealt with them after. A long talk and you'll be settled. Don't let your true friends go and be lost. Rare friends are hard to find.

Thank you for reading

God Bless!
