#Wonderful: Unexpected Friendships

The word "wonderful" may have hundreds of meanings, still, it can't be denied that this word is a positive word because even when it is paired with a negative word, it remains positive. (e.g Wonderful Disaster, Wonderful Misadventure, etc.) This word has even a better meaning when paired with a negative word. A disaster may be very wonderful when something good happened because of it. Still positive, right? Isn't it wonderful? :)

Just like how my Top Friend (as determined by the Wonder App) and My Bestfriend forever, Shai, and I have a wonderfully unexpected friendship. We have been best of friends since High School and that was eight years ago. Yes, this kind of friendship exists and we're going to prove that Forever exist in the F of BFF. 

(Our 3rd country trip together! It was wonderful visiting Korea, the root of our friendship!)

Our Wonderfully unexpected friendship started because of a single question "Mahilig ka ba sa kdrama/kpop?" The rest is history. Just kidding! See, how an addiction to Korean Entertainment build strong foundations of friendships? It was that question she asked that led to our now "eight years and forever" friendship. Isn't it wonderful how one question can change an entire life? My life would have been completely different if she did not ask me anything about kpop. We might even be strangers until now if that question was not asked. 

However, we will not consider our friendship to be "wonderful" if it were not for the means that we took to preserve our friendship despite the distance (after hs grad), the bad days and even calamities. The secret to our long-lasting friendship is "we stay connected". Even when we took different paths to college (and graduated the same day in two different schools! hahaha wonderful!) Globe paved the way for our friendship to continue even when we're far apart. Through calls and unlimited texting, we stay connected. Facebook does wonders, too, especially when we are using our globe data to tag each other on funny friendship-related posts. 

There are many wonderful people and things ins this world. I'm glad I've met those kind of people. My family is wonderful, my bestfriend is wonderful, every friend that I have is wonderful in their own ways. I'm sure, it would be wonderful to start investing on being connected to your loved ones at all times and that is only wonderfully possible through globe! Dahil sa Globe, Wonderfully Abot mo ang Mundo! Globe loves to Create a Wonderful world and we are a part of the wonderful word that they are continuously creating.

Glad to be Globe: A Proof of True Friendship

They say "No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.”

Isn't it exciting to have friends? How much more if you have a best friend whom you can share everything and every detail of happy moments with no secrets at all? I felt that fortunate and lucky feeling whenever I go back to those high school days when I finally found my bff (best friends forever). But, I started to worry about our friendship months before our graduation because we would be on different paths for college. It was horrifying to know that you'll be thousand miles apart from your bff and we were afraid that our friendship will fall apart. So, we swore to not let distance hinder our friendship...and my bff even said "May phone naman, we can always call each other and converse like we're staying on the same house." I agreed on her and promised that we would really call each other no matter what. Despite calamities, bad days and all kinds of negativities in the world, we were able to maintain our best friendship by calling as often as we can. I’m really glad to be a globe user and even more glad that my bff is a globe user, too!

Up until now, we still call each other and we still tell all secrets and funny stories—enjoying our add-ons in our globe mysuperplan. I can't believe what a miracle this friendship has gone through. It's a challenging milestone to still be in touch with your best friend from high school but we did it! Globe paved the way for our friendship to still be close despite the distance that separates us. I’m Glad to be Globe because with Globe you can make things possible. Thank you globe! Abot ko ang mundo. :)
