Yesterday was the awarding of of prizes to the Epic Friends contest sponsored by Toblerone. I was one of the lucky ones to win it even though there were many others who garnered more "Facebook Likes" than I did. Thankfully, I love scrapbooking, and my entry probably won for it's visual appeal. Hehe.
So anyway, I went with my boyfriend to The Spa branch in Bonifacio High Street where the awarding would be held. I've never been anywhere near The Fort before so I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the place. It's like a huge shopping expo.

My Epic Friend is none other than RV. We met each other in high school, way back in 1997 and have been friends for 13 years and still counting. We did everything together, shared secrets , and had crushes like all young girls do. We complemented each other's personalities well because Arv was the shy and timid one while I was more outgoing and encouraged her to come out of her shell. She got me interested in witchcraft (for real!) and Moffats songs (in high school) and now, I'm asking her for advice on cosmetics and haircare because for the life of me, I have no idea what products to buy. In high school, we even had a secret alphabet code which she invented and only I could read.
We got separated in college because I took up Engineering in another school and she, Accounting. We still kept in touch and even made a bet that the first one who had a boyfriend would buy a free meal for the other. I lost that bet. One of the funniest things I could remember was we sent each other creative letters while in college. Cellphone and social networks weren't popular back then so we sent our packages (yes, packages because our letters were bulky) to our younger brothers who shared the same school and were also classmates. Our letters were often long, several yellowpad pages, or artistic. We cut and pasted words and pictures from magazines to form our messages. I still have all her letters in a box at home while some are displayed on my wall. Pictured here are my letters to her.
When cellphones became popular, our letter-writing stopped and we kept in touch using text instead. We would meet during university weeks and tour our old high school.
After graduation in college, I moved to Manila and she worked abroad in Dubai. The only communication we had back then was Friendster. When she returned to the Philippines, we still got together every time I went to the province for the Christmas holidays. This last December, we had a chance to see each other again and toured a place called "The Ruins" in Talisay City. She also managed to convince me to have my hair colored and like before, we made another bet that none of us would have our hair cut until December 2010 or else pay 1,500. We're planning to curl our hair the next time I come home. That bet is still ongoing. =)
I am truly grateful to have a friend like her all these years. So that's our story. Hope you liked it as much as I enjoyed reminiscing our past together.
