Most, if not all, of my friends will tell you that I usually leave nothing for myself. Not my pride, not my dignity, not anything. It's really funny when people tell me, "Kat, magtira ka naman para sa sarili mo." But I can't just do that. You see, I have this principle of giving what you have until you can't anymore. It sounds so absurd at first but it's just how I do things. There are certain things that you just can't give enough of. I don't think that it matters what it costs you as long as you are sure of what you are doing. I don't think it's wrong to sacrifice your happiness for something that you know would be great and would make even one person in your life happy. There's no room for selfishness in this world. It's not that I'm saying that you must always put the people around you first, all I'm saying is that if you can help, do not hesitate to do so, the best way you can. Life will always be difficult for all of us, but it wouldn't hurt if you could help even one person with the load he or she's carrying; it may sometimes hurt, it may sometimes be difficult, but it would always be worth it. And now I give to you what I told my friend Danielle the other day, "Sometimes, when we think less of what we can acquire, we gain more."

My first day back at school was really fun, although I missed Miggy even more today. I got to hang out with my friends again after the long vacation. (yehey!) And of course, because we haven't seen each other for quite sometime, there was a lot of catching up to do, so I give you the most meaningful "catching up" session I had today. (And because I have a policy of not naming names, i shall not put any names in this entry)

I have a friend from school na sobrang ka-close ko na. Partner in crime ko na 'to and sobrang dami na naming "pinky promises". Siya na yata ang isa sa mga "totoong" kaibigan ko, ever. Sa lahat ng pinagdaanan naming paghihirap para sa acads at iba pang stuff at mga kalokohan namin, wala parin kaming laglagan at never pa akong iniwan nito. I have learned so much from this friend. As in sobrang dami na. Kami yung tipo ng magkaibigan na not necessarily kailangang magkausap palagi or magkatext, but we talk when we can. And the best part about us is that we are both secured and confident na friends lang talaga kami no matter what people may think. (Someone once told me na magpakasal na daw kami. DUH.) Sobrang parang kapatid ko na siya. So, ayun ang background ng friendship namin. Anyway, dahil nga hindi kami mahilig magusap sa text, madaming kaming kwentong naipon. And so today we were able to talk. And the talk we had was not makwela or happy or festive. As always it was a serious talk between friends. And I feel so good kasi he gave me assurance that I am a good person and a good friend that he trusts me enough to make kwento to me. It may have been indirect but the fact that he talked to me about stuff like that was really assuring. And I think that's one of the best ways to start a new year.

So anong point nitong part ng blog ko? Wala naman. It's just a little reminder that we can give and receive, learn and teach, experience and cherish, so much more in a friendship. Hindi lang yung puro gimmicks and hanging out. Hindi lang naman panandaliang saya yung mabibigay natin through our jokes and happy memories, kasi hindi lang naman yun ang ibig sabihin ng pagkakaibigan. And that's a great lesson in life and I hope that I learn so much more this year about friendship, kasi ito na yata ang strongest human bond. And that it gives so much more to people than we may think. (I really hope that I will be a better friend this year.)
