It's Her Day!!!

It all started in second year high. She transferred again to our school, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. There were several transferees and she's one of them. For some reason, the school decided that they will compress the four sections to three so they were put in our class. I never intended to be friends with her because I have my own set of friends... Apparently, fate had other plans than mine.

It was second quarter of the school year when something happened. I was one of the top students in class (teka, natatawa ako! nagyabang pa! hehehe) so I was placed at the back of the room. I became friends with a bunch of students from the last section and... her (she transfered back to our school from NotreDame)

Shiena Tan.

She's shy (sige na nga!) at first but when you get to know her... makulit! She loves to dance and sing and play the piano. She's one of the friendliest persons I've known. Cowboy! You can serve tuyo and she won't complain. Very generous. When she has some cash with her, naku, she'll buy stuff for you and your family. She's like that when she drops by my house (which was pretty much everyday back then, hehe). Makuwento! 24 hours is not enough when we talk! She has lots of kuwento especially when we won't see each other for months. And when we get to talk again, it's like we just saw each other yesterday. She knows how to deal with others really well. There are so many families out there who want to adopt her. Rollyne's family. Sheryl's family. Mine.

And uhmmm... she's kikay nga pala! Back in HS, she's the wash-and-wear type of girl. When I saw her in college, OMG! Ang kikay na! She wears skirts, does her make-ups, curls her lashes (ahay!) and her voice is much more maarte! hehehe

She lived at Serrano Laktaw in our HS days. After school, it was an unwritten rule that we go to her place to chill. Saya! She'd play the piano for us. We'd choose from her pieces. I'd always choose People Alone. And Hidin' in Myself. Can you still remember that, pre? hehe

Of all the things that we shared together... it was those times that we were both down are the most memorable! I remember I had a problem before and she was the one who was there beside me to alleviate the burden I was carrying that time. She knew everything and she honored my unspoken request to keep quiet about it. She was there during the Dan episode of my life as well. She'll cry silently with you during the times you're troubled and down and out. She'll never leave you, believe me.

She's tough when it's her own battles she's fighting. But she can be a crybaby at times. Especially when it comes to the loved ones (*wink*). It's because she's not expecting it from him so she cries easily.

I texted her this morning because IT'S HER BIRTHDAY TODAY! I told her that I wish she'd get to meet Mr. Right already. Someone that would love her and take care of her and be with her when she needs someone to make kwento/daldal to. Someone who'd cherish her and make her feel important the way she does her loved ones. If she already found the guy (*wink* *wink*), well and good!

You deserve it, sis!

I also wish that our friendship would last a lifetime.

I may not have a tangible gift that I can give you right now, Shen, I have these memories and good words that I can tell the whole world about you.

Love u, sis! Be happy (parang commercial ng jollibee)! You deserve it! And whatever they say, you know that we all love you the way you are.

'Tol, painom ka naman! hehehe

HAPPY 27th BEERDAY este BIRTHDAY pala!!!

xxxooo,
sasha
