Years of Friendship

Friendship that stood the test of time

You and I, partners in crime

Catching up on life’s ups and downs

Helping adjust each others crowns

My bestfriend and I did some catching up yesterday. We took some photos on a photo booth as our souvenir. Here’s one:

The sunflower glasses suited her while I think I make a good alien.

For Life

We found each other when we were eleven

And we’ll be friends until we’re one hundred and seven

A lifetime of friendship, I am thankful for

Truly, I couldn’t ask for more

I went on a date with one of my besties. I printed some of my poems and gifted it to her.

My best friend, Deity. She and her husband are spending the new year here. They live on a different island here in The Philippines (Negros) so we take each chance to catch up when we can. The other lady in the second row with us is our other best friend, Joanne. She and her family now live in Canada.

This was the three of us prior to Joanne moving to Canada and Deity moving to Negros. Top photo was us eating chocolate cake and acting like kids 😁
Joanne bought the book by Mitch Albom as a Christmas gift to me since she and her family couldn’t travel here just yet. Deity got a gift too.

Quick edit: I’m glad my best friend and I met today. Earlier this morning, there was a bit of crying as it’s been a year today since our other dog, Bogart II, died. Yeah, last year was a bit rough before it ended.

Best Friend

One afternoon, we sat down together
And talked about this and that and whatever
We were young and didn’t know any better
A memorable afternoon full of laughter

Yet twenty-three years on, we’re still here
Despite distance, our friendship did not disappear
And so we toast, and so we cheer
Knowing our friendship will last and there’s nothing to fear

I’ve known one of my best friends for almost 24 years now. We lost touch for a bit around college and towards our early twenties but have since promised each other to stay in touch. Safe to say she’s one of those childhood friendships that lasted 🙂

3:00 A.M.

A slumber party for two

With not much slumbering to do

We had hot choco when we we’re younger

Now tea and coffee as we’re much older

But I’d still like some hot choco as we wind down to morning

We’ve been up for hours, animatedly talking

By the fire with some pie

Silently, I happily sigh

Conversations at 3 AM is good for the soul

My Friends And I

My friends and I,

we climb trees

I lost my slipper

when we threw it to knock off some fruits

We cleaned the fruit

by wiping it on our shirts

We had the best time

Girls Night Out

My gal pals and I planned a wonderful evening
We were going to stay up late and do some dancing
Oh we partied all night long
Didn’t sleep until dawn
But this was all in our dreams
As we all fell asleep around 9pm, it seems

The girls night out became a slumber party 😂. I hope you folks enjoyed this one.

Just an update, I’m currently in the hospital with my mom. Her operation was successful but it took a lot from her as she’s been sleeping most of the time, probably due to some medicine or also because we both lacked sleep last night as it seemed doctors and nurses were in and out the room every hour. I had a quick nap this morning but may have only been a few minutes as housekeeping would come in and probably because I was anxiously waiting for my mom’s operation to be done.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend. Stay loving! 🙂🌷
