The beauty of life is somehow unpredictable in some cases. And a solid example of that is the little details of how we meet the people we now call friends. Some get a lot of friends to keep and some choose to keep their circle small. In our younger days, we love to keep everybody our friend. But later on in life we realize, having a trusted few is enough to make us sane in giving us deep and sensible conversation, hang-out with over good food or just a latte with pastry; travel and see other corners of the world; kneel alongside us in professing our faith; truthfully correct us of our misleading; and the best - when they just simply hear out the screams in our head.

When you find that one true friend, his/her presence is enough to make you quiet the unnecessary roaring of your mind. Blessed is the one who find such kind of friendship like this that would last a lifetime. Many would have asked, "how do you get such kind of friend?" The answer is simple. Are you the kind of friend that you're exactly looking for? But the truth is, a FRIEND is a GIFT. The universe provides a friend for us, an expression of its love for us. Ever wondered the kind of magic in meeting your best friend now? The universe paves the way for you to meet.

Fast forward, she is my solid rock to lean on everytime I get weak in all of life's pain and pressing times. Thus, she is also my best go-to in all of my small wins that need to be celebrated. When I cried she just listened. And when I celebrate, she rejoices with me.

As life continues onward, I had to stop work during my pregnancy, and a year later she chose to go back home in her province and work there. We were not sad. The communication went well. She is still the very best friend I cherish. I meet a lot of new friends in my new work place but she remains irreplaceable. And she will be for the rest of our lives. Why? Because she is the very godmother of my two kids who are very fond of her. We continue to visit each other each year. We never forget special occasions like a family by blood does.

Many events and people in our life we thought we do not need until the universe hands it to us making us say, "Oh, I am so blessed I have this/you!" Below are more photos of our bonding moment in different times of being together as long as the time permits us to. Enjoy!

How nice it is to be surrounded with teens making our lives feel a lot younger than our age. It seems like only the waistline has unstoppably grown while the heart keeps abreast with our youth. Bear with me, hahaha!

Wrapping this up, many have said that a true friendship is never measured in distance but with a heart that remains truthful even if you do not see each other often. I believe that line is very real in me and I am forever grateful to be blessed with such kind of friend. This is why I am confident to say at this very moment that I have a friend I can call my bestie in the coming years for we had a heart that stood out in the test of time and distance. Before I close, I would like to share my favorite line with you when it comes to a give and take friendship. I hope you like it too.
