As If She Knows This Blog

I am very happy today.  My bestfriend in Cavite texted me.  It is not a usual thing for us because if ever we text each other it is only a forwarded message, a greeting on special occassion or we have a question to each other.  Yes, we consider each other best friends though we are far apart and we only communicate with each other everytime I am at Cavite.  But our memories of the happy times are always there whenever we are together. I am really glad that she texted me and have a little kamustahan.

That reminds me of the good memories when we are still not working.  Every summer, sembreak and Christmas vacation, I go home to my grandparents’ house at Cavite.  She is my closest friend at Cavite figuratively and literally because of the proximity of our house.  I remember staying at their house together with our other friends and be back to my grandparents’ house when it is time to eat or sleep.  I remember playing bahay-bahayan when we were small. We love music. Karaoke and VCD were not invented yet during those times and we sang basing the lyrics on a song hits and we recorded our voice in a tape recorder.  I don’t know if she still has those tapes but the memories are still fresh.  Our favorite song back then is ” A Friend” by Keno.  We love singing and we didn’t mind if it was raining hard outside because that made us more confident that no one will be hearing us.
 
We bathed in the rain too and we made paper boats and have a race who is the fastest boat to reach the finish line. There were many times that we bathed on a deepwell at the back of my grandparents  house and we took turns on who will be the one to pump the deepwell.  We just stopped bathing outside when my grandparents told us that we were already teens and we were not supposed to be playing while bathing because our physical bodies were aleady developing.

When we were teens we play badminton and volleyball. We went to Simbang Gabi and woke each other up so we could complete the 9 days.  I  have never told her about my crushes but I know she knows who they were because she invited those guys to play volleyball and badminton with us.  She was always there to accompany me to the places where I know I could see my crushes.  

I really miss her.  She has always been the thoughtful friend that I know though we seldom see each other I know she wishes me well always.  She is a friend who made me feel that girls could be good friends.  You know, I have always been biased because most of my good friends are guys. 

I am very thankful to my dear friend Maricel.  You just don’t know how your simple text brings me back the good memories. We’ll see each other on this long vacation at the end of the month.
