A Dear Friend

This blogpost is about our dear friend Michael. 

Who's Michael for me? Michael Kurt Busa Babay is a person that I can say one of my best friends. We have known each other for 6 years. I first met him when we were Grade 3. On our first day, our teacher introduced our seating arrangement for the quarter. Michael was the seatmate of the person at my back. My seatmate, Michael and I talked about Hollywood until  different words then came up with "-wood" like Sexywood and the like. Yeah, it's very childish yet that word made our day particularly our friendship. On the following day, me and Michael talked a lot. About different things and even our favorite show, Encantadia. We later on played every afternoon as one of the characters of the show. I'm playing Pirena (Fire) while he's Amihan (Wind) together with our new friend Patrick.:) We're so 'corny' that time. :)) Before our Grade 3 days would reach its end, we wished to be classmates again in Grade 4. The wish then came true. When we were in Grade 4, we had our first crush. Coincidence, we had a crush on the same person. We doesn't took it as a rivalry but as something that we share in common. Grade 4 days added to the memorable moments in our lives. 

In Grade 5 up until First Year, we didn't became classmates, putting somehow a boundary between us and on our friendship. It came to the point that we didn't talked that much to each other. Awkwardness, maybe. I'm really not sure. But later on, we became okay again, became close before we end the school year of our freshmen days. Until, he announced that he will be leaving the country and would not be able to enroll for second year. I was saddened with the news knowing that I've wasted a couple of chances for us to bond. 

Michael has been a very, very good friend. He proved that through his sense of humor he can surpass all the problems that he is facing. I'm really proud of what he had become now. I love Michael not as a friend but a sibling. That is Michael for me. :)

Yesterday (January 14, 2012) was planned for us to be reunited with our dear friend Michael. Maybe, our last time to meet before his departure on the 21st. </3 Anyway, we had 2 meeting places, first is at Monty's while the other one is at Keith's. I went to Keith's at past 10:30 in the morning. Upon arriving, Ram, Nathan and Wilfred was already there. We fixed ourselves for a short time then excitedly went to Monty's house to wait for Michael to arrive. Upon Michael's arrival, we excitedly went outside of the house to see him and his LONG BANGS (kaw na teh). HAHA. We, ate our lunch at QC Circle and waited until the Circle of Fun to be opened. Twas a fun, exciting day filled with much longing and love. 

WE WILL MISS YOU MICHAEL. 

I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AMEN ( Ms. Sia's tone)

With much love, Marvil :)
