That you've ever gotten any snail mails or written a letter yourself?
I couldn't remember at all the last time I received any. With text messaging, e-mail, i.m's, Facebook, and Twitter who would ever think of those medium to send their love (or hate) to the world?!
Well personally, I love letters! I love writing them myself, too. I am very fond of writing letters and keeping them to myself beacause I always feel that it is enough to write what I needed to write and the recipient could go on with his/her life without even finding out that I poured my heart out through a pen on a fragrant (or not) paper.
I've had a collection of them good old stationary! And there were times back in grade school when I would exchange with some classmates who were collecting, too. But of course, the basis for the barter? The winning design and scent! Yes, girls just love anything nice, beautiful and fragrant! And yes, I am a girl indeed!
As promised from the previous blog... I don't know why I even keep on making promises in this blog site when I'm not even the kind of person who likes promises let alone make one! Gawd. Anyhoo, since I've already made it, I better keep it. Going back, I've made a promise in the previous blog to write letters! And actually, this is a day-late post, but then again a promise is a promise.
So here goes my first letter. It's for my best friend who just got married last Saturday. (I will be posting about the ceremony in a different post in a different time, too because I don't have the photos handy.)
Jingle My Best Friend Forever,
It has been a very long time since the last time that I've ever written anything to you -- I mean letters that are longer than my brief greetings of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" or the annual holiday cards. I really miss the times when we used to exchange letters even though we're almost with each other every day. I remember how we resolve our petty fights through these letters then crying after over our silliness! And do you remember that biggest fight we've ever had (which was still actually petty for our level) before Valentine's? Well, I really thought at that time that that was already the end of our friendship. I was so scared I really had to swallow my pride just to write and apologize so I could have you back as my best friend and be silly together again!
It has been very long indeed and I love how we've kept our friendship intact throughout the years despite our differences and the friends we've met along the way, especially in college. You are truly the most wonderful person both inside and out that I've ever known. You are the greatest friend anyone could ever have and I take pride in that. And even if there were times when we barely saw and heard from each other, I knew in my heart that if we were to see each other again one day, we will still be the same people who spent lunch breaks at the chapel steps munching over Moy2x and cheap ice pop while giggling over boys and our adventures at school; the same people who have survived the difficulties of high school life together; the same people who helped each other out in putting back the pieces of our hearts that have been broken by immature love; and definitely the same people who vowed to be best friends for the rest of their days.
It has been ten long years since the very first time we ever met and I'm proud to say that our bond is certainly getting stronger with all the triumphs and hardships that we've faced -- we've been tested with time and for sure, will continuously be tested. But I am confident that we will make it like we did before. And if I can't be with you because of distance that I couldn't possibly surmount, I will not worry because I know Jing, that you are a very strong person despite the fact that you easily cry (but I think I cry easiest!) and despite the unending doubts that run inside your head every time and also my prayers will always be with you and your family. I am truly happy to have watched you bloom into a stronger and more beautiful women all set and ready to build and take care of your own family. I'm sure your family will be as proud as I am and all of our friends to have the most amazing and gorgeous woman in their midst. Stay as lovely as you are Jing and never forget to ask God's guidance to help you out in every endeavor and trial that you will be facing one day. Never give up and don't let negativity get the best of you!
I love you.
Never fade,
