Goodmorning…
Cris’ sms: ‘ang gusto kong kanta natin ay POINTS OF VIEW, friendship song natin un ha.’
POINTS of VIEW
Look, it
It happens every now and then
Feeling the hurt and hating all the men
Ready to stop it all
That
To see me through these lonely days
Just to put some sunshine in my place

REFRAIN:
Here I am
I haven
And since I am
That kind of friend you know
Would stay with you through all the pain
Never to leave you in the rain
Ready to listen to what you
Your woes and blues and share each other
CHORUS:
Points of view
We
And kept our points of view
It doesn
We have our rules in different ways
We play the games of different folks with different strokes
And keep our points of view
See the world seems bright again
It only darkens now and then
Most of the time there
Look up and see you
REFRAIN:
Here we are
We may have gone our different ways
But since we are
The kind of friends who
No matter what the pain
Learning to love that cap o rain
Ready to say we
Although we
CHORUS:
Points of view
We
And kept our points of view
It doesn
We have our rules in different ways
We play the games of different folks with different strokes
And keep our points of view
SAME-SAME but DIFFERENT
I can’t remember exactly when our friendship started, the next thing I knew I was totally enticed by the relationship we have. I think we have a bunch of things in common…aside from being Psych grads (and psychoanalytic freaks); Singles for Christ paved the way for a stronger friendship. Writing each other back and forth via email, countless phone calls a day and for every weekend we spent together make us closer and closer. We had the funniest debates at every SFC meeting and we are not afraid of even taking opposite sides. Moreover, in all of the dim-witted and mind-boggling things we shared, we tell each other secrets that we never uttered before to a single soul. That
Three of us are experiencing the vertical reality of being vertically challenged since the day our bones stopped growing. I enjoy spending moments with the cutest and petitiest (if there such a word!) women in my world because these are the only times I feel (comparatively) the tallest. Providentially, our heights did not hinder us from reaching our dreams. And to add on our common list, we are all the youngest in our own families. Our life principles and assumptions, our ways of learning on the realities of life, our faith and service to God are our common denominators that multiply joys and divide sadness. Even our love stories and shares of heart breaks are (were?) photocopied (no one can
In 1997, Blanca Jeanette and I were block mates in Miriam College, we were in second year then. I cannot vividly remember the day I started to call and consider her ‘friend’. We were in one barkada (of 9 psychoanalytic freaks too) and together with Jackie, we were the great triad! Inseparable in all school projects. Until one day, one of our friends (either Summer or Oly) complained and suggested that we have to ‘share’ our intelligent to the rest of the group. Hahaha!!! But Jeanette and I started to have a very solid friendship when she came to
In 2006, Marie Christine and I had our first spur-of-the-moment one-on-one over a cup of coffee at Grand Moov Hotel during one of the leaders’ assemblies (which was her first treat!). While all SFC UAE leaders were having their discussion, Christine and I were having our own ‘personal’ discussions too (plus MEC 2006 preps on the side). The friendship even developed during MEC 2007, when both of us were assigned to head one of the committees. And again, the rest is history!
The three of us have a lot of things in common. Needless to say, we have more innumerable differences that add spice on our journey and excitement in our battles. The salt-and-pepper situations and ordeals in our lives allow us to stand for what we believe is right and fight for our points of view. Undeniably, if love is genuine and same-same, it doesn
(same-same is an expression in the middle east, meaning the same)
thank you ;-) lovesyou
