If I am to choose one thing that
will best describe Alyz, it’ll be a shoe. Well, aside from the fact that she
loves shoes, she’s really fashionable (kaya nga friends kami.. lol), tough
(well, I’m talking about tough shoes here mare, made from the skin of Lolong..
joke!) and she’s really full of sense kaya you always want her around you..
just like the shoes, so utilized and you just can’t live without.
Our friendship all started when I
went to college. A typical Lasallite who’d strut her sexy b**t whenever she
walks and back then, I was the geek-y type who always goes to the library and
go straight home after school. We sat beside one another during the first day
of class, both in Legal Management course as both of us wanted to be a lawyer..
or shall I say both our parents want us to be lawyers. Lol.
Back then, it was a shallow
friendship. It’s just shopping and getting-to-know episodes. Trust and depth
struck our relationship during the summer of ’03. We both were diagnosed ill on
the 2nd Semester of Year 2 and we both need to stop from school. After
getting ourselves well, we wanted to catch up and decided to take summer
classes. Alyz and Tita Pritz were so generous to ask me to stay at their place
so I can study with Alyz. And that was where our super bonding all started.
The friendship went transparent
but solid. She knew me deep within and I did the same way. I am more than books
and Alyz is more than bars. We found a common ground and that is wit, fashion,
and books. We are both very independent and loud, very loving but wise, really
serious but fun, and totally crazy but on track. We were not the perfect people
in school, nor are we the perfect friends but we were at our best all the time
and because of that we became BEST of FRIENDS.
Things were not easy as we sailed
along the tough coasts of friendship. We had our break-off. But I guess, TRUE
friends will always be friends, no matter what. We missed each other, we picked
up where we left off after 2-3 years of unspoken words towards one another. And
from there, we became the OLD WE.. with better clothes, shoes, jobs, and men. :)
I got married first and it
shocked her. Knowing that I despised marriage after my terrible break-up with
(you know who mare.. J)
my ex. But I think, God changed my view of love and life. This I shared with
her when she travelled to Singapore. I was privileged to meet Jerome, Alyz’s
bf. Alyz had terrible guys before (well, I’m not saying all mare, but you had
the not-so-good-ones just like me..) and meeting Jerome is one of the encounter
that made me believe that my best friend will soon enter the marriage couture.
And so I was right.. This November 22nd (did I get it right mare?),
Alyz is getting married to the man he never thought she would have but has
always dreamt of having one. And let me get this better, and so Jerome is also
getting married to the woman that every man has dreamed of. :)
May I have the privilege to be
the first ONE to plug this wedding mare. You just don’t know how happy I am and
how grateful I am to God for giving you someone who will always remind you of
your real essence in life. We both have dreamed and we both are reaching these
mare. And just as what we have always promised- Rich or Poor, Single or
Married, Young or Old, we will always be the BEST KUMAREZ for life..
Best Wishes to
you my BEST FRIEND and Congratulations for winning the lottery Jerome! May God
bless your marriage everyday and may you always be reminded of God’s love
through one another.
I love you mare.. Jay and I love
you both! Cheers to your upcoming wedding!
