While I was reading his post I was utterly amazed as who that saint is. lol..<br /><br />Honestly, I just do what I think is right. There is nothing extraordinary about me. Sometimes I am perceived as selfish sometimes selfless. Jan perceived me positively and thanks for that.<br /><br />Hope you have enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again .<br /><br />All the best.Jena Islehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609925272840089993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294877903388162682.post-43020657048350842312009-08-07T10:46:31.802+08:002009-08-07T10:46:31.802+08:00Hi Rey Jr,

I wish you could meet up with your bestfriends again eventually. <br /><br />Wouldn't it be a blast seeing each other after all these years?<br /><br />It's good your gf is also your bestfriend. This would make the relationship more meaningful.<br /><br />All the best. I hope you'll be able to sing for me 'Stand by me" thru you tube.

Not a lot of people have that. And that I can attest to.<br /><br />I've had a LOT of friends, being very outgoing and all. I've had several best friends too! But all of them are not around anymore, be it because of distance, of priorities, of any other reason, which to me seems insufficient. Not for lack of trying, on my part at least, but they're all gone now. We are still friends though, with the occasional text or email. But none I can really call my "best friend". (Not counting my girlfriend ha, heh heh!)<br /><br />You're very lucky! Please please please, treasure your friendship, nurture it, and take care of it. :D<br /><br />PS. I love that song!

I think there were actually two movies made due to the theme of this song. I've seen them, and they are truly wonderful.<br /><br />Having best friend who "Stand by You" and not behind you is always such a valuable commodity. Surprisingly, it seems there are fewer and fewer these days. I however have many I consider "Stand By Me" friends, and am rich for it, not monetarily, but personally.Eric S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13214969358950690069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294877903388162682.post-69721265474484803832009-08-01T01:42:09.204+08:002009-08-01T01:42:09.204+08:00Hi MJ,

It can't be helped.<br /><br />Great friendships are very few for me. <br /><br />Could we consider online friendships as true friendships? Could we be certain that when we get to meet our online friend in person, we would like her/him anyhow? <br /><br />For me, online friendships allow you to see first the person as he/she is inside and that is a more lasting basis of friendship than external traits. <br /><br />Yes, I'm indeed lucky to have these two friends.<br /><br />A toast to genuine friendships Jan, Z and Roy!Jena Islehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609925272840089993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294877903388162682.post-23955795109075503882009-07-25T21:14:21.663+08:002009-07-25T21:14:21.663+08:00I always envy stories about friendship... because ...I always envy stories about friendship... because I got none to share... in the 'real world' that is.<br /><br />ako ang sinasabi nilang tao na 'suplado sa personal'<br /><br />I can make a great acquaintance, and I would listen to every whine... but you'll never hear mine... that's why I blog<br /><br />I had friends... but they're gone... out of reach... disappeared during the lowest times of my life... until nowRoyhttp://reflectionsbyroy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294877903388162682.post-11212245053350908642009-07-25T20:39:04.245+08:002009-07-25T20:39:04.245+08:00Wow, great story of friendships, Jen.

Kumbaga sa work force - casual worker ka lang muna.<br /><br />Di na naman ako royalty na kailangan may background check pa para maging friends ko. Ito na lang talaga nakagisnan ko.<br /><br />So I can say there are only a few Pollys in my life, too. A handful.<br /><br />Kaya nga me inis sa phenomenon ng overseas employment. And daming sumisibol pa lang na great friendship naantala gawa ng pangangailangan mangibang bansa.<br /><br />Buti na lang naimbento ang blogging. Nawala pagka maarte ko at pagka suplado.<br /><br />I can't get that mental image of a solitary dried fish sticking out in your plate of rice. :) Powerful story of friendship, Jen. You're both lucky you've each other.<br /><br />A toast to genuine friendships! Jen, raise your milk shake na noh. Ahehehe. Once more with feeling. Ay mamaya na kaya?
