Old Buddies and New Friends

Friends are special people in your life --- they congratulate you when things go well and comfort you when they don't. The more they experience things together, the closer their bonds become and the greater the chance they are going to become close friends.

Friends are a trove for me, especially those I met in high school. Words can't explain what they mean to me. Every time I have a bite of eat with my college friends, I just can't help recollecting the memories of the past. We joked around a lot and did things to make one another laugh. We used to have gimmicks and good times.

Lately, it feels like I'm so disconnected from my old buddies. The main reason is I rarely go online with the ICQ. That's why we just can't have a long and deep conversation. But last week, I had myself online again (as I started to construct a website for my dad's company :P) , and many of my friends were there. We talked about friends and school and other stuff, everything under the sun. Seemed like everyone was back, kind of "here-we-are-again". I swear, I never wanted it to end. Afterwards, I walked away from the computer with a big smile on my face.

I like making new friends. Therefore, when I see an irregular student in my class sitting near to me, I usually take the first move, walk up to him/her and start “interviewing” him/her. My friends find it weird, but I like it, though. Perhaps it's my nature to be hospitable or simply friendly, or maybe just because I'm taking Consular and Diplomatic Affairs. Anyways, it's interesting and exciting to talk with a new person, don't you think so?

*** Father, I thank you for the amazingly nice friends you've sent to me, I'm just so blessed to have them. I prayed that none of us would forget all the days we've gone over. At anytime and anywhere, they will always be what I've held onto. And I wish I could have a place in their hearts too. ***
