From a Best Friend :)

From a best friend.


Hi Mike!


This is leftover paper from my 2010 recollection palancas. It spent a looong time in my drawer, mao na medyo kumot (that's why it's a little bit crumpled). XD


Anyway.


I'd like to thank you for being among the best, truest friends I've had. In my life. You;re one of the few people who always seem willing to spend time with friends―one can see it in the smile you're always wearing when in good company (hehe ;)), the way your chat box suddenly pops up on Facebook when one least expects it, the way you effortlessly entreat us to lively conversation. You make life a lot less lonely. :D I'm very proud of you, of everything you've achieved these last few years. It isn't often one comes across such goodness, talent, intelligence, and joy in a single person. It's amazing really how much we've been through together: Skylark, Ringkaran, Agong, RSPC, geom, lit―without having a serious quarrel! Those moments I used to look forward to all the time, and fondly look back on now. Thanks for the incredible friendship we've had these three, four years (and counting!), for accepting me for who I am, for being there all the time, and, of course, for the gift of music! =)


-Arkay


P.S. -Sorry sa akong sins :( (Sorry for my sins)
P.P.S. - "Far Away" jud diay atong friendship song ("Far Away" indeed is our friendship song). We've grown far closer since graduation! XD 


Awwwwwww. :3 Thank you, Arkay for that very touching letter (sniff, sniff). :))


To end this note, let me write some lyrics from our friendship song:


Wherever I go, far away and anywhere
Time after time, you always shine
Through dark of Night, calling after me


And where ever I climb, far away and anywhere
You raise me high, beyond the sky
Through stormy night, lifting me above


Venite Spiritu, et emitte caelitus (Come Holy Spirit, sent out from Heaven)
Venite Spiritu, et emitte caelitus (Come Holy Spirit, sent out from Heaven)
Venite Spiritu, Venite Spiritu (Come Holy Spirit, Come Holy Spirit)


Far away beyond the sky...

New Year's Resolution. :D

HAPPY 2011! :D

So to start the new year with a big bang, here is my New Year's Resolution! :D

1. "Work first before pleasure" - my mom always says this to me, only Ateneans don't do this because they tend to "Party first before work". I however will promise to live up to this line. :D

2. Be more organized - I admit that organizing is one of my flaws, and that I need to declutter myself to have a more fruitful year.

3. Be more friendly - self explanatory. :))

4. Stop pressuring self and instead be a positive thinker. - this one's harder, I guess, but I found out that if you pressure yourself too much, then you'll always end up to the bin. So + energy, here we come! :D

5. Closer relationship to the Creator - I admit that I sometimes lose faith when I don't get what I want, however I learned that these flaws are made to make you even better. :)

6. Spread love to friends - Love, love, love, love!

7. Do not be insecure and bitter...instead, look at the bright side! :D

8. Time Management!

9. NO FB ON WEEKDAYS. PLEASE. :))

10. And be a better Mikhail Clyde A. Manginsay for 2011! Yay! :D

To close this entry, let me end with a quote that I just made up (although I posted this ages ago in FB):

"The Lord does not give you any challenges that you cannot bear."


HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! >:D<
