BEST FRIEND IN SCHOOL

In my whole school days, from preschool up to college, I have always had a girl best friend. Well, yes, I have more than her because I usually belong to a group...but in a group there always is that someone closest to you. And mine had always been another girl.

And so I find it ultra cute to have learned that my little one's ever first best friend is not the common girl-to-girl best friend. She told me herself that her best friend is Noa. He had been a classmate in her summer introduction school. She skipped nursery and kinder and is now Prep...and she felt most at ease with one of her four her seat mates, Noa. He's a mild mannered kid, he is nice and most of all he have the same level of thinking with my Anya. She admitted that he is the one easiest to talk to. Since my daughter grew up with adults, and no kids around, she thinks and talks like adults. And whenever she is with other children she easily gets bored and is not as patient when they talk differently (which is actually normal kid talk at their age) or when they get so childish blabbering and laughing uncontrollably.

I am so happy for her that she found her best friend. And that best friend Noa is pleasing enough for me to be glad that he is indeed her best friend. I value friendship and I see how Anya and Noa values it too. They take care of each other. They play after school and they make each other smile when one is in tears. They look out for one another. And at that early age of 6, I fear for nothing beyond friendship. Wait until they reach teenage years...then I will have to be more on the look out for friends that may not be in their same gender. But hopefully, this friendship they have lasts a long, long time. For me it will be Noa and Anya, the best of friends.

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS

This is something I regret not having. Probably from being too shy during my pre-school days, or the moving we do. Well, yes I have friends that go as long way as grade school and high school...but I envy those who have friends since kindergarten.

The bond that is created becomes stronger as years go by. There were some fortunate individuals who get to be with their childhood friends all through the years, but some get separated for a time. But what is nice about it is after all those years, they still feel as if nothing came in between when they see each other again. Some even end up marrying if they are on the opposite sex.

Are you fortunate enough to have one?

A TREASURE YOU CAN ALSO HAVE

"How rare and wonderful is that flash of a moment
when we realize we have this real and precious friend."

...and last night i was overwhelmed with the reminder that i don't just have one =)These are my very close friends
that I had the chance to see again after so many years
...and they are not the only ones.
I just wish i can also be given the chance
to see the others as well.
FRIENDS ARE TREASURES MORE WORTHY THAN ANY POSSESSION.

NEW CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

How wonderful it is to widen one's circle of friends?! I have a lot of those circles, having one group after another...and I'm glad that I have yet a new one.

This one I can say is a group made to be together. Meant to find each other...everyone so wacko! We may have our differences but they were nothing, affecting not at all the bond that is forming in between. Teletech Wave 14

FINDING LONG LOST FRIENDS

I used to be at a lost on how to find friends. Childhood friends, elementary and high school friends, even college friends. If it were not for the social networks, I may have not seen one. Before, I almost wanted to go to NBI just to find friends. A result of too much action movies, I guess.

And then one time I was thinking to myself, how come there’s so many named just like me?! Then I had to know who they were. For curiosities sake, I went to Name Find and found a lot of Jennifer Ortizes. And this led on to one click after another, finding friends. And I tell you, its fun seeing them there and others named like them. You can even see what their email addresses are, find them in different social networks, or other contact information.

I have to admit, whoever thought of coming up with such an idea gives the impression of being helpful; or with preference to action-filled movie like me. Have you ever clicked on google for your name? I did, too. Hahaha, loving my name too much huh?!
