My friendship with the biology professor I met in the Singles for Christ-Christian Life Program (SFC-CLP) recently is going stronger. She was truly one of God’s blessings from the start. We had dinner in campus once, actually went out on 2 different weekends to do girly things such as malling and shopping and I even kept her company for breakfast this morning. To think I only knew her on July 21.
I recall how excited we always are when they grouped us for sharing in CLP. By the 4th week, we knew that we would be permanent CLP group mates. I like talking to her because she makes sense and she actually indulges in girl talk. My other friends have already outgrown girl talk. Being with her is always fun.
I have another new friend in campus. Our offices sometimes coordinate on projects once in a while so we know each other by face but never really talked. I only talked to her because my officemates saw her being interviewed on TV. I asked her about it, one question led to another and now I’m actually very open to her about most things I would have kept personal till who knows when?

That's wonderful.
I think friends are one of life's greatest gifts.
And so thank you, for being one to me.
I asked her about it, one question led to another and now I’m actually very open to her about most things I would have kept personal till who knows when? When there are people with whom I dare to be myself in a matter of days, I sincerely feel most richly blessed.
Ako naman, I tend to be a lot guarded. People in the past have hurt me and this had been my way of coping. I keep only friends whom I've known for great lengths of time and I rarely open up about personal stuff (If ever I did, it must be because I trust you.).
Betrayals can be so hurtful. I try to check myself, of course. Not all people are out to hurt you. Not on purpose, anyways.
Still, the guardedness. I can't help it, sometimes. I am wary and suspicious of people, tuloy.
Haaaaay. Sharing.
Thank you for this post. It made me a lot thoughtful about the kinds of friends I keep.
It takes a friend to know a friend. There are people I outgrew no matter how close we were in the past. Then there are people who, even after more than a decade of separation, I reconnect with as if we had a heartfelt talk just yesterday.
It's amazing to pay a quick visit this web page and reading the views of all mates on the topic of this post, while I am also zealous of getting know-how.
