Non-practicing Nurse

I have a friend who is a registered nurse. I was a bit surprised to learn that she actually pursued the course because she was and still is afflicted with a heart ailment and asthma. I have seen her bouts with asthma and those were horrible. I felt so sad and sorry for her then.

So, I was really happy and surprised that she actually became a nurse. Albeit, she is a non-practicing professional who does not wear a nurse uniform as often as she would love.

I told her she can either continue her nursing degree by being a professor or a private nurse on call. At least that way, she can still practice what she learned from nursing school.

Old Photos, Memories and Friendship

The advent of social networking and media has given so much reason for old friends to reconnect. I am happy to have a regular communication with my old friends again.

I was surprised to be tagged in an old photo of my best friends since high school. The picture brought nice memories of our young motherhood, taking care of our babies, attending to each other's special events like the one I posted here and just being there for each other. I was the one wearing the black trousers and my favorite diamond tennis bracelet which was a gift from my mom.

Shortly after that picture was taken, we parted ways because I had to relocate to Dubai with my husband, my other friend stayed back and the other two moved to the US and France. We lost communication for some time but like what I mentioned earlier, we reconnected through the famous social networking site known by every generation now.

I am very happy that our friendship is still intact. We are very solid and our friendship has been tried and tested through time. We will be the best of friends forever. That's for sure.

Thank Goodness for Friends

I am the kind of person who has very little circle of friends. However, I do pride myself for having a small circle of pals because they have been my friends for as long as I can remember.

I am very choosy when it comes to building friendships because I value relationships so much. I take friendship as a serious relationship where everything is built on "trust."

I have had my fair share of friendships gone sour because the trust had been broken or we just grew apart. I have tried reviving a "fallen" friendship too at one point but was rejected. So, I get hurt too in this friendship business. It is just not easy to keep real friends these days.

I am glad though that despite the lack of time, my friends and I still get in touch through various means like emails, chat rooms and phone calls. I am glad they are still around to give me a nudge when everything else seems to go astray in my life. I am really thankful for the few friends I have who are always there no matter what.

Friends are really like wine. The older the friendship gets, the better they become. Thanks to all my friends. You are all heaven sent to me and my family.

Girls Talk - Childhood Friends

I have plenty of childhood friends. In fact, I recently reconnected with them thru the help of Facebook. See, I told my husband that Facebook has its good points ;)

There are too many to name and I don't want to name names for the sake of not hurting other's feelings if in case I forget to mention someone.

So, most of my childhood friends are in my Facebook. Even one of my friends way back kindergarten is now my renewed friend in Facebook. Thank goodness for Facebook!!!
