I enjoyed watching live the Aliwan Festival Grand Parade in Quirino Grandstand (I was surpised to see my name there)
Some say that the true measure of a good and real friend is the number of quality long relationships he has kept over the years. How many elementary, high school and college friends do we still have constant communication with? How many of them do we share our most memorable moments with? How great is the bond that even beyond distance and physical absence, the closeness still remains?
Old friends are our connections to our past and to the growth we have experienced and gone through. They are the ones who know us inside and out and who stay when the false friends are gone. They are there to give us support and strength. They are there to share the most important times of our lives from the happiest to the saddest.
I am blessed and thankful to have my La Salle Green Hills barkada still intact as well as my Ateneo De Manila University barkada. These are my friends who saw me develop as a young boy to become a young man and who went through all of the process of growth. I usually still meet up with them every time I am in Metro Manila. As they say, true friends are hard to find, I’m glad I found a lot of real friends in my life.
Let us value special people in our lives. Let us make sure that we thank and recognize their worth and value.
