As my regular routine, I checked my inbox in my Gmail account. I was so shocked to see an instant message from my bestfriend. She told me that she’s in Madrid, Spain already. I got really sad when I read it because we weren’t able to hang-out before she left. Blame it on Milenyo! Grrr.

This morning, I checked my inbox again because she told me yesterday that she would tell the whole story (because I asked her how’s her life in Spain) through email. Her message, as usual, is long. She told me about the differences between Philippines and Madrid, Spain. I really got excited for her while reading her message. I’ll quote some of the things she said that really made me laugh:

“United nations kami dito kasi dito sa dorm yung mga scholars like me. May friends ako from Zimbabwe, Kenya, US, Peru, Argentina, China, Bulgaria. Kaya may nakaka-relate sakin pag nauubusan ako ng espanyol. Haha”

“Onga pala, sa gabi ako naliligo para may time magpatuyo ng buhok. Pag sa umaga kasi sobrang lamig and kawawa naman ako pag lumabas ako ng basa ang buhok. May heater naman yung showers so ok lang. Sabi sakin dati, mababaho raw mga espanyol. Pero so far wala pa naman akong naamoy na mabaho. Or baka mabaho na rin ako kaya sanay na ko sa amoy! haha”

That bestfriend of mine talaga! Haha. I know she’s really homesick (like what she told me) but she still tried to make fun out of it. I’m really proud of that sassy chic. When we were in high school, she told me that she really dreams to go to Europe… and now.. she’s there. Taking up a Master’s Degree with scholarship! Who wouldn’t be proud of her, right?

I just blogged this because I miss her company. It’s been years since I last saw her in flesh. LOL. And it really is a “tragedy” not to see her before she left because we never know when we will see each other again since I also have plans of leaving the country. Anyways, I’ll just stop this dramatic thing. I said I’m not gonna blog about her (but I did!) because if she finds this out, she would tell me that it’s so cheesy or so corny! Haha!

By the way, this is she with another girlfriend of mine, Bianca. The one in black is Marvi, my bestfriend.

Sorry Bianca for stealing your picture. LOL

Well, that’s all for now. I hope she won’t see this entry… and I hope she wouldn’t learn that I let my mom read her message for me. Haha.

P.S.
I changed my profile image (the one in my sidebar). I just find myself pretty in that pic. LOL. I feel so girl-y! Haha. That picture was taken last June with some of my TeenTalk friends (Gillian, Regi and Rei) at Timezone, Gateway. Agree with me! I’m pretty in that pic! Or else… Haha

   Haay, sad naman. Oceans away kayo, samantalang ako nagda-drama na gayong cities away lang naman kami ng mga kaibigan ko. Anyway, glad that at least she gets to fulfill her dream, finally.

   You both are lucky to have each other.

   Wow, it’s great to know that she is now in Madrid and has finally fulfilled her dreams. On the other hand, sad din talaga lalo na bestfriends pa kayo. Who knows, you might have another chance in the future to be with each other again. Just hope and pray. Nothing’s impossible naman.

   She’s pretty in that pic. So as your newly put up profile image. ^__^

   Hi Xyla!

   Naku, I miss my bff too! She lives in Bacolod now. We do text, and sometimes calls each other. It’s hard to have a bff in another part of the country, sayo, the world! Naku…

   By the way, I agree. You look pretty on your sidebar pic
