Real friends will laugh "with" you and not "at you" when you make a fool of yourself. Real friends will go out of their way to help each other and do nice things for each other and never expect anything in return. Real friends always praise each other for their accomplishments because real friends are happy to see others succeed.
When I was in the Philippines I had many friends and a core group of best friends who stood by and cheered me through the years (elementary, high school, college & work). Hubby always make fun of me because I have different sets of friends where ever I go. He would say "I know, coz you're the IN crowd"...lol!
These are my college buddies. There were 7 of us that hung out everyday for years. We did everything together when we were in college and after college days. I miss them a lot. Looking back made me feel nostalgic.
These photos were taken during our visit to my parents village. After our graduation day, I invited them to stay for 2 nights at my parents house. Our driver picked them up at our meeting place and drove them for 2-hours going to the village. What a rough ride! It's worth a trip though. We had so much fun together.
Three of them went home the next day. They missed all the fun that we had when we went to have a picnic at the river.
I miss you guys! I'm looking forward to seeing you again on 2013. This is my entry for this week's Nostalgia.
