happy thought

No stranger.

I’m grateful of yesterday.

It was happiness to have heard from two of my friends again whom I haven’t seen for a long time (3 years, I think) but have communicated with through chat and text. Both of them have joined me in that online stint two years ago.

My friend E is doing great and is happy with her life, love, and work. And what I really admire about her is her sense of empowerment. When I asked about how her boyfriend (of the longest time) was doing and if he was already a doctor, she said he would be soon and while waiting for that before getting hitched, she plans to get a law degree aside from the MBA degree up her sleeve. It’s really amazing to know of women who just don’t wait for their men and grow insecure of them. They do something.

Meanwhile, my friend P just confirmed he has a girlfriend. This makes me happy because despite the fact that he can be a little arrogant and can rub people the wrong way, I know he is a good person and deserves someone to love and love him back. However, I feel sad when he said he’s going through some tough times and that if I could include him in my prayers. But with that I have come to admire him because it takes courage in people to accept and say it, and to actually believe in the power of prayers. That’s really something.

I am simply touched, humbled, and proud of these friends. =) I can only wish and pray for them to be always well and happy. That’s the least I can do.
