Friends are the ones who keep you sane and happy throughout the tests of time. When one is forlorn and distraught, a simple "Hi" or "Hello" from someone who makes you smile and feel unique makes all the bad vibes go away. On a personal vantage point, getting to know someone from scratch is one of the things that makes all the good vibes come and play.
It is almost 2 months since I met this giddy-slash-claims-to-be-neurotic person who actually just inquired to me about UERM. I can't believe that from a simple conversation about simple details, what will transpire would turn out to be one heck of a witty and punch-drunk friendship.
It all started one night before my exams....
A message popped out from my Multiply account, coming from a certain person who wanted a "penny for my thoughts." Generous as I am (yabang), I replied what I knew and told her information that might be useful. It turns out that she filled the same shoes that I once had: a nursing grad, med aspirant, board taker.
That's one of a lot of similarities we've discovered. Moving on.
After some time, we got to connect via FB. It's funny, because from the time we became friends in FB, she commented on one of my profile pics. From our serious, informative convos, connecting via FB turned out to be a different story. The constant contact from a simple query started to turn out to be more than that. As time passed, the thought of inquiring about med slowly started to fade, and the thing known as "getting-to-know-with-witty-bashing" started to come out of the bushes.
From that moment on, our talks have been nearly continuous. Every time I get to talk to her, I get to turn on that happy button, appreciating the feeling of euphoria and joy that are both unusual in my oh-so-simple (weh) Med life. The natural feeling of being witty was crying to be released from my temporal lobe, and every time we talk, the wits start flying like jet planes bombing a vast land of boredom and monotony and leaving only happiness and laughter with it.
We've seen each other a few times already, and from our meetings, we get to see more of our funny side. The wits never end, the jocular bashing never stopped, and the happiness that comes with these overflew like an overflowing teacup. There were no dull moments, there were no boring and monotonous happenings. It was just pure F.U.N.
This person is a winner. She couldn't stand a convo without mentally beating me into a pulp. Masochistic as I may be, I just accept it, and I find it funny because I also make ways to come back from stinging losses. I don't wanna lose also. Who does, anyway?
Everything about inquiring soon ended up on a different avenue.
I have a lot more to say about this cool person, but for now, let's just stick to what I just said. Boring kasi ang mahabang blog.
First of all, there must have been a reason why we started talking, and I thank God for giving me such a blessing. It's not always and everyday you get to meet someone and start to build good rapport with. Some people might think this is so messed up, but they're wrong. They're missing half of their lives.
You never get to meet cool, fun-loving people each and every day. These things come usually under a blue moon. Whenever such things come your way, take advantage of it. Make and build a good foundation and a good relationship. That's how friendship goes a long, long way.
I thank her for popping out of I-don't-know-where-ay-Multiply-pala and putting some Ferrous Sulfate on my anemic RBC's. Wait. I'm sounding too nerdy na. Sorry naman.
In short, thank you very much. :) No other words come closer to what it means for this kind of funny, fun-loving kick-ass friend to arrive in such a good time. Let's make the most of it. Fun-loving people love to have fun!
