I couldn’t find the most appropriate word to describe these two
individuals in my life. When I met ‘em I never realize they will become
my best of friends.
Ailene Xuan? I disliked her, a lot. I concluded that she’s rude, tactless and conceited. I raised my eyebrows every time she talked to me and looked at her irritably. I couldn’t resist her presence, I was wishing that she’d fade and be far, far away from me at all times. I have this irate feeling towards her. There is something in me that never liked her. Unfortunately; I didn’t know what it was. Am I jealous? Feeling unwanted and guessing that she hated me too? I asked myself, why I disliked her. No idea!
As young individuals, we were very demanding. We believed and pretended that everything was under our control. As my memory reappeared in my unconscious mind, I remembered my previous behavior towards her many years back, which turned out to be totally different when I started to know her by heart.
Malou? Well, she is di makabasag pinggan, so mahinhin, and so maarte. I got irritated especially when I see how she eats her chix wings! Can’t even forget how I reacted while looking at her. Never thought that after deeply knowing her, my perception about her changed and started to know that she’s genuine and pure of heart in everything that she does.
It melted my heart knowing that I disliked them for no reason at all.
Time flew; troubles did appear, almost broke me down to pieces. We all know that problems may come and go and it depends on how we handle them. Hard to believe during those times, the people who I least expected were the only ones who listened and understood my innermost desires to recover what I lost.
Yeah, it did break me up. Self-respect’s gone. I was cold hearted. I never cared about anything and….they carried me on through my most troubled situation. They showed me the right way to breathe again. I am blessed to have these kinds of friends in my life who would remember how much I suffered and how they supported me all the way.
I don’t believe in coincidences. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. There is always a purpose behind it. And that, brings me to this kind of point of view. I believe, in some form or another, that these two creations are connected to me.
“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend”.

Marilou and Ailene Xuan are those friends who knew me inside and out. The friends I can laugh for hours of no end, about everything and nothing at all.
I am blessed to have these friends who know me so well, and who would put the heart, thought, effort and time into creating such a meaningful and special gift in my life.
Dedicated to Ailene and Malou
