As the year starts, I want to blog about my very pretty, witty, sexy and adorable best friend who's always been there for me through the odd and good times. (you know who you are, and if you're reading this, don't get too flattered sick-o :P)
Last night was New Year's Eve, and it so happened that my very good old friends from the neighborhood came to our house and sorta dragged me to visit some of our old friends (and some new cause I don't remember seeing them since the last time I went down the area) down the village. It was fun cause it's been a long time since I went there to hang out with my 'kuyas and ates' since my "yagit" stage.
As we were on the way to a neighbor's house, I've noticed new people, newly-built houses and grown-up kiddos of my age. It was fun.
Moving on, as we were already inside the house (actually, at the garage?) of the neighbor whom I don't even know, we spent the time reconnecting with our good old neighbors. We talked about things and more things, relationships, and some things of the past. And they were glad because after a long time. we were able to visit them down there.
But this thing disturbed me for a while. One of my guy neighbors asked me if I had a boyfriend, so I said no. So he told me that he's been seeing me for some time now walking and passing at their house and that I was with a girl, whom he concluded right away that she was my "girlfriend" and I told him, that that was my best friend. So he asked me if that girl was a lesbian, and I answered no, asked me again if I was a lesbian, and again, I said no. He said "good."
I was quite disappointed and maybe insulted in that situation, being called a lesbian, especially my best friend. I hate it when some people think that we're a lesbian couple, when in fact, WE ARE NOT. Yes, we're not. And yes, we're best friends. I just don't understand why these people automatically conclude in their friggin brains that two people of the same sex who are super close and I mean really close are a lesbian/gay couple already. Don't they understand that best friends do exist in this world?
I've learned from a friend that she also know some people who've been "victims" of these narrow-minded morons who put malice to relationships of close friends or best friends.
On the other hand, I feel sorry for these people because they don't appreciate the feeling of having a best friend, having someone whom you can talk to about anything under the sun, someone who'll always be there to help you no matter how hard it's gonna be, some one whom you can call in the middle of the night and talk about your bad dreams, a person whom your parents trust and consider as family, and et cetera. There are a lot of things that they miss, especially the fun. These things may be present in a romantic relationship with your boyfriend/girlfriend but I think it is a lot different and better when you have a best friend.
So, as you may have read, I have a best friend. And, I am very lucky and blessed that I have her. She's a sister, mother, father, brother, friend, and a critic, all rolled into one. Now tell me how lucky I am. We do a lot of things together, and I mean a lot. We've even taken a bath together (I did this with my 4th grade close friend also whom I thought was my best friend during those times), eat together, shop together, hold hands while walking, and a lot more. Maybe some people feel lonely because you have to cut the romantic part in this relationship. But me and my best friend say "I love you" every time we can, give ourselves a hug every time we see each other, and even kiss (which I also do with my other close friends) on the lips. Okay, not that kissing that you have in mind that boy/girlfriends do.
The point of the whole thing is, best friends do exist in this planet. And to all of you who have best friends, treasure them and love them. A lot of people are looking for a real, best friend, so consider yourself lucky and blessed. Thank the Big Guy up there for giving you one of the best gifts, a true and genuine best friend.
I love you, Krissie Quejadas, my best friend. :)
PS We've been best friends for 21 months and been friends for more than 2 yrs now :)
