Being a hopeless romantic and overly sentimental; I've collated all the messages my friends and colleagues have sent me and am sharing them all here to pass along.

- A male friend who is not your boyfriend is a boyfriend under glass, break in case of emergency -

- my life is not perfect but am happy coz I have people like you .. equally imperfect like me ...but just the right blend for a great friendship -

- friendship never speaks volumes ... it never demands proof ... it never has a happy ending too ... simply because it doesn’t end as long as friends are true -

- prayer for friendship -

We thank you Lord for friends who loves us, share our sorrows,

laugh with in celebration, bear our pain need us as we need them,

and who give us the freedom to be ourselves. Bless them with health,

wholeness, life and love. Amen.

-thanks for showing me the real you ... for the friendship you've given me ... text may not be enough to express how much I value you. But there's only few words I'll always say; Thank You -

- distance may separate us, new stuff may keep us apart, time may not permit us to see each other that often but you should know that I will always be here the way I have always been -

- fake friends: never ask for food. real friends: are the reason why you have no food; fake friends: bail you outta jail. real friends: sit next to you sayin "we messed up, but it was fun!"; fake friends: would knock on your front door. real friends: walks right in and say "I'm home!"; fake friends: will talk shit behind your back and spread it around. real friends: beat the crap outta those who talked shit about you; fake friends: compliments you too much. real friends: compliments you but criticize you frankly. -

- some friends forget, some friends move away, some keep silent, some just change but I'm not 1 of them ... Am just here, minsan busy nga lang ... pero never kitang makakalimutan ... kaw pa?! -

- I'm not somebody you can rely on all the time, I can't always turn your tears into smiles but even if I can't be the greatest person at all, I still try to be your greatest friend when you fall -

- you don't have to keep me as the most important person in your life; dont expect that, but somehow I wish for something else ... that when you think of me at least you smile -

- dont be afraid to take risks and experience pain to achieve your dreams ... Always remember, if you want a rainbow, you must first go through the rain -

- love can't be found when you seek it for yourself but when you give it to others it somehow find its way back to you; stay in love and keep on loving -

- I may not have expresses or told you how much happy I am or how much I cherish even the smallest you do, but let my silence just say it all; thanks for having you around -

- It's hard to wait around for something that you know will never happen, but its harder to stop waiting when you know it's everything you've always wanted -

- Love is just a word .... until someone you meet will give it a proper meaning -

- the true meaning of intelligence is not how much we know what to do but how we behave when we do not know what to do -

- Life has great options, you don't always have to pick what seems best. Coz sometimes, the best and the perfect aren't always what makes you happy -

- I can change clothes; I can change my mind; I can even change my looks; But I promise you that I'll never change the way I am to you -

- how you deal with love is how love will deal with you and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are very different -

- there's still a romantic element in knowing that I love someone but I am choosing to do the right thing by staying silent - (my absolute fave :) )

- look for a guy who would accept you beyond what eyes can see, love you for who you are and what you can become, a guy who'd cherish you more than anything, who will not treat you as his girl but his "life" -

-sometimes you have to put walls up around you ... not to keep people out but to see who cares enough to break them just to be with you -

- sometimes we could be so stubborn holding on to something we want badly ... there is nothing wrong in hoping for love to go back but there are times that we simply have to accept that its over -

- what if you don't believe in love? what if you will meet a person who will teach you how? what if you will fall for him/her? yet she/he was just meant to teach you how and not your partner for life ... will it be worth the hurt? -

- an interview with God .. Man: "what surprises you most about humankind?" God :" That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grew up and then long to be children again ... that they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health ... that by thinking anxiously about the future they forget the present such that they live in neither the present nor the future ... that they live as if they will never die and dies as though they had never lived –

-when Peter Pan saw Tinkerbell again for quite sometime he asked: “Why did you have to go away for so long?” Tinkerbell replied: “ You never gave me a reason to come back. I was there when you needed me. But I guess you never showed how important I am to your life. Now its different and now we’ve changed. –

-even if am away, even if am busy, even if I have problems of my own. I’d always have that time to assure you and say “hey am here, you’ll always have me around.”-

- I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be ... but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see ... -
