my way of thanking

No matter how serious life gets, you will constantly need the company of people whom you can completely be stupid with.

Random fleeting moments of happiness are priceless. These are the impulsive, spontaneous, mischievous, crazy experiences that aren’t that much big-a-deal for others when shared but are the moments you want to capture - take a mental picture/video - and put in your bottle of happy pills. Moments that when reminisced few years down the road will give you natural high no amount of antidepressant pills can replace.

This is my ode to my 2 greatest friends in ‘this’ time of my life - so let me count the few ways I feel so blessed:

1. For the long sessions as if we’ll never see again that soon. 

2. For the endless conversation topics we never seem to run out: the things we agree on, the things we agree to disagree on, and even the shutting off of things we know we’d never agree to disagree on.

3. For the laughters that will make hyenas pale in comparison.

4. For the (invisible) tears that will make us want to double the dosage of laughters right after. Indeed, shared joy is doubled joy. Shared sorrow is half-sorrow.

5. For not just mere sharing dreams, plans and pursuits but also helping me achieve them.

6. For the therapeutic discussions no amount of Spa/Stressball/Stresstabs (haha) can compensate.

7. For the countless art of doing nothing days that will make preschooler kids look more matured than us.

8. For teaching me humility and pride at the same time.

9. For being my constant sounding boards! (Ang hirap kaya maging sounding board ni Emcee)

10. For giving me 101 reasons to go back there even if I only have 1 painful reason not to.

11.  For not merely knowing me but understanding me although I can be a very difficult to understand at time to the point of being a pain in the neck.

12. For being the 2 people I know I’d meet in heaven (Mitch Albom’s concept)

I can go on and on but I don’t want to be too much of a Drama Queen.

Mica, I can’t thank you enough. Thanks for being there ALL these years. I know we can make things happen (and I’ve already consulted the Magic8Ball and it confirmed). Good to know we’ve grown up/old together and we will continue to. I’m pretty sure we can finish the 30 Things ‘MC and Mica will do together’ sooner that we expect and before we know it there will be 30 more. Well in fact, we’ve only realized the Choose Your Own Adventure Day after the M8B purchase. haha! I’m super excited! May our Dreamboards come to life! Altiora Peto. Brah, thanks thanks for always sticking around. Good to know we’ve grown young together. Ego boost! You know I’ll do what I can for the Kalabaw Code to materialize. Extra thanks for not just stopping at understanding but also analyzing me (although you can leave the explaining to me). Live relaxed!
