That's My Jing!
In every chapter of your life, there are people whom we value, people whom we feel forever affiliated with. And at the end of that chapter, we always say that we will keep in touch, write each other emails, take time to update each other. Sadly though, sometimes, when we are so caught up with writing new chapters in our lives, we hardly have time to revisit pages we once spent so much writing about.
Today, I am going to revisit one of those chapters by writing about Jing, my best friend in my first job in Manila, i.e. in AMORE.
What makes Jing a special person?
- Generosity - Jing is one of the most generous people I know. No matter how tight her personal budget is, she will go out of her way to buy her friends and family things that will make them happy. I remember that picture of Ken Chu she bought for me at the height of my F4 craze. :) (People from Asia will relate to this!)
- Faith and Optimism - Well, no matter how much crap life gives Jing, she just does not give up. Every now and then, she says her piece and complains but after the ranting, she moves and continues to live life. She is one hell of a resilient lady. She deals with life head on. I don't think the sentence "I give up!" means anything to her.
- Works Hard for the Family - Jing could have easily just considered making herself feel comfortable. Instead though she chooses to dedicate her life to making her family's life better. I remember how proud she was of her sister when she graduated from the university. I am only so blessed to be surrounded by a person who is able to love that much.
I do hope that Jing will be able to read this entry if only for her to remember and realize that our friendship will never be edited out of my life.

Hi Ekay,
Sorry for the late response. Been kinda busy lately... THANK YOU so much for deeming it worthy to write about me and the friendship we shared (which I hope did not stop just with AMORE). Hey, you don't know it, but I wrote about you as well in my blog months ago (check it out: http://jingpreeti.blogspot.com).
It's been months since I last updated my blog, however. But, reading yours kinda inspired me to start writing again. Once in a while, I forget to do the things that give me the simplest, purest pleasures - one of which is writing. I know we haven't been in touch lately, busy as we are. But I do hope that you will not forget that you are always in my prayers (hey, you asked me that before, remember? And I told you that I will only stop if you tell me to. Hehe), and that our friendship will always be one of those I will treasure in my lifetime. I hope to see you again soonest, when you go back here again. Have a lot of kwento for you, like, two years' worth. ;P
Love and miss ya much! Take care, okai?!
