Monday,Nov 2 2009, 06:45:46 AMRemembering my friend, Jonah...

          It seems just only yesterday when we were walking along together, strolling in the park, in the beach, eating out, laughing out loud like "who cares?", sharing secrets....ah,memories! just like the song 'high school days all my high school days I remember....' Is your memory as good as mine? Yeah, I know,i know.. i'm the most forgetful one. I can readily imagine the scowl in your face when I forgot some details which are suppose to be the most significant ones in our world called "Friendship".....

           Our friendship is indeed a miracle! For how can two almost opposite persons became the best of friends? If anybody knows me deeply, maybe even more than myself and my family...it's you. You have influenced  and opened me up in the other realistic side of life...you made me realize that life isn't just about being meek, silent, obedient and the the likes...which are packaged in my innate sense of dignity to which i have no control of, and to which i am always grateful of...where you admire me of these virtues, i, too silently admire you of your  loudness,tactless and even sometimes your heartless, insensitive acts..where you admire me of being a cool model student leader, i admire you of being a spirited member of the volleyball varsity team. And how can i forget, you are my number one active member in the liturgical choir..for one school year we woke up at 5 am MWF for the church mass...my gosh, even now, i can't still believe i was able to do that, me who's the laziest...it's because you were there to support me all the way...and remember the beautiful face of  Sister Jo transformed into a snobbish aristocrat when the outcome of the mass is not to her likings?And you dare to confront her about it? Shhhh..haha ..so so funny!!.

          Yeah, I can only gaze and gape at the things you do which are out of my league...but then you have no concern on family reputation or whatsoever, unlike me....       

           It's been about 3 years now when I questioned Him...why you? How unfair life could be...I know you have lots of dreams..so full of enthusiasm in life. On those times, I thought my faith is rooted and deep enough to comprehend life's harsh realities but i've proven wrong. When you were taken away from us, for a while there, my faith was being tested...yes, I blamed Him that time...but I'm getting ok now...i began to accept that God has His own purpose for each one of us....that life on this earth is just a journey of many chances...a chance for us to prove to Him that we can  be worthy to live in His abode one day.

            To Jonah, my dear friend...thank you so much for the good memories and the good deeds you have done, not just to me but to all those whose lives you have touched. In my mind and heart, you are forever alive.....Till then, my friend!
