First of all, I apologize for not replying to your messages. I promise to reply maybe tomorrow or whenever I am free.

I was really busy designing my bru Gracie’s layout. I promised her (ages ago) that I’ll make her a layout for free because of so many things she has done for me. Then last week,I asked her to send me her pics so I can start making her layout. The day after, I showed her the “fnished product”. What she didn’t know is that I made another layout. Hahaha! I was surprised that she liked the one that I showed her. It was so simple and yet, she liked it.

When I learned that she’ll be having a family trip, I already planned about what I will do to surprise her for her birthday. Since I know her password in her blog and in her ftp account, I immediately uploaded my gift layout and made an entry in her blog. Hahaha! I dunno when she’ll be coming back and I am really excited about her reaction. I hope she’ll like it.

That layout is actually my dream layout. I’ve always wanted to have a blog design with this wood thing concept. I tried everything before but the codes didn’t work. And so I researched for it. And there you go, it finally worked! I really really liked the layout because like what I said, it’s my dream layout. But I decided to give it bru because after everything we’ve gone through (naks!), I know she deserves this dream layout of mine. It’s like sharing your dreams to a sister. Hehe!

Bru and I met in Teentalk. I thought we won’t get along with each other but when she joined Lunatic, my forum, that’s the time we get to know each other more and became really close until we just called each other bru (which means bruha) and finally became best friends. We haven’t met each other because she lives in California. Yeah, we have a long distance brulationship. Hahaha! Despite the distance, we tried to keep in touch through Yahoo Messenger, and private messages in Lunatic. If you could only view my inbox in Lunatic, you’ll see that most of the PMs are from my bru. Haha!

I still have a lot of things to say about Grace but I chose to describe her in one word: special. Not a special child, okay? Lol. (Just making you laugh, bru. Haha!) Bru will always be special in my heart. I truly value our friendship and I thank her that despite all those nasty rumors that tried to ruin and put me down, she didn’t believe in those. She knows that I ain’t a perfect person but she accepted me for who I am and for what I am and I really thank the Lord for having a best friend like her.

You know, I thought I wouldn’t be able to find real friends in the online world but bru, together with my other three online bestfriends, proved me that you could also find a true friendship in the internet.

It’s all about being true and being real.

P.S.

Please visit my bru’s blog and greet her on her birthday!

   so sweet. I saw the layout and all I can say is wow.
   but there’s one problem, the welcome message is not in the small frame thing.
