“A best friend is someone who loves you when you forget to love yourself!”

She is the youngest among the three siblings of Mr. and Mrs. Valeza. A very nice young lady. She is Fatima Refamonte Valeza, my best friend. A naughty girl, with a fair complexion , a girl who annoys me again and again.

Honestly speaking, I really don’t know why we became best friends. Actually we are very opposite in character; she has the sense of humor, I haven’t, she likes the teachers I hated most. She loves the color pink. I love the color red. And even in beliefs in life we are still far apart. For me, I see life as a twisted journey that is full of strange people but for her, she sees life as a wonderful adventure to enjoy with. But there’s one thing that makes our friendship special, that is we both love… “Writing” and of course we love one another.

She is a young lady of many words and every time I’m with her, for sure I am very well – informed through out the day. She knows everything!!! As in … she knows when is the time to cheer me up, to comfort me and to leave me alone??!!. A young lady, that sometimes is like a shadow. She stays close to me while I walk in sunshine but disappears the moment I walk in darkness. She actually leaves me once she smells trouble around me because she wants me to stand on my own feet. She also taught me that some good, good things in life never last.

But as time goes by, we stick close to each other and share each others burden. We’ve been around for both good times. Of course, there are personality conflicts between us but in the end, love prevails over conflict. Now, I can truly say that… my best friend… brings out the best in me!!!
