"May The Force Be With You"

I have a very good friend who's dear and very special to me.

She's more than like a sister to me.

We went through a lot of ups and downs of life together.

Though she lives far down south and we no longer see each other as often, but we are so in-touch-thanks to SMS and social networking sites-it is as if we're just together.

Today, she texted me about something that bothered her and openly shared the information. I know it bothered her because she's one of the most soft-spoken and patient person that I know (well, she might not agree but yes, you're "patient", friend...compared to me...hahahaha).

I know she doesn't need a blog that will serve a testimonial as to the true great person that she is.

But it's been a long time since I've told her how much I appreciate her friendship and her support. And now is a great time.

Friendship,

I texted you that I will "blog" about you today not telling you what I'll write.

I just want to let you know that I truly admire your strength and patience as you go through this phase of your life ("di ko kakayanin ito"-ito yung quote for the day ko....

This is just a minor set-back.

I know it's nothing to you but again, it's there. Difficult to ignore.

But you're a kind-hearted person.

You always lend an ear and a helping hand to anyone no matter how mundane the situation is.

Don't allow these "incidents" pull you down.

No one can ever put a good man down.

I know I've asked you this question a lot of times but "what is with you that keeps some people interested?"

But I do know the answer...

You have something that they don't.

You are blessed with the "GOOD" Life. (I won't enumerate it na for "blind item" purpose...hahaha)

Let them drool.

Don't spend energy (and piso) thinking about them.

Don't fight back.

You're not like that. Don't stoop down to that level, girl. Ibang level tayo.

My (unsolicited) advice to you is to let it go. DEADMAHIN.

Yes, it's easier said than done (because I might not be able to do it).

But it's the best for you and I know you'll listen.

These are the things that make our lives "colorful". Without these elements, our good life will be too good to be true. They add topics for us to talk about and to "blog" about. So ust let them be.

Imagine, "s/he" spends that much effort and energy thinking about you? It's not easy to come up with those well-written thoughts ah...so top of mind ka niya. Sosyal ka, girl!

Just be the person that you are.

I feel so blessed to have found a great friend like you and I don't like you being "affected".

Love you, Girl and I admire you.

I am just a PM or a text away. Tell me kung kukuha na tayo ng mga back-ups natin from the States.

As we have always said to each other, "May the force be with you."
