"Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life." - Dior Yamasaki
When I was still working in the city, I only had one friend. (Well, if you can call it that..) He was my seatmate and my buddy. I confide with him every time I had problems, may it be financially or to silly heartaches. He practically kept me amused.

When I moved back with my parents to a new city, I was so depressed because I just lost my job, I don’t have any money, no friends to talk to and, worst, I hated my siblings for being so immature and cared less about life. I was drowned by my sadness of losing everything. The “everything” I thought to be so important; job, money, independence, and a chance to have a career envied by everybody. A Life Insurance Claims Associate in a call center? I don’t think so... ;-) so there I was alone, unhappy and insecure for being a failure.
After a month or so, I gathered myself up and summoned all the remaining me and I applied as a teacher and enrolled myself for a master degree in business administration. It was a leap of faith with no money and all I have is my self esteem that I am good enough for something. Struggling and I wanted to prove the world that I am worth something..
I met Len in one of my master’s class. She was timid and very shy; on the other hand, I was confident and always speak my mind. Nevertheless, we became friends. We helped each other in our requirements, lessons, and researches. We sometimes offend each other as a result of stress, our personal problems and our differences. After a while, we'll have a talk and pretend nothing has happened and life goes on; understanding what one is going through.
Yesterday, we went out and shopped for our girly needs: COSMETICS. We bought lipsticks, foundation, and eye shadows. It was fun and a breather after a very demanding week from school and work. We ended the day having dinner fast food restaurant and ate all we want.
We lend a hand when the other needs it, we alleviate each other's pains and we keep each other company. Friends are not only people who will stay with us when we are alone and needed a hand; they make life so much easier and the world a better place to live in. Now my adventure in this new place is rich and exciting..
With this, i would like to thank you, Len, for making my stay here a better one.
