Me and Her

Yay! Another amazing chance to write again! So, isn't it nice to have a cool buddy and/or a best friend? If i would be to ask, YESSS! It is, a big yes that i had to write it in Caps..haha. Everybody has his/her own circle of friends and you get to learn who is true and who is not but then one of them becomes the Best Friend  for life.

Hmm..to get started in sharing this amazing journey with her let me describe her in 5 words, yes just five. She is AMAZING, COOL, BEAUTIFUL, CRAZY  and for the win she has something to do with the word FUN!

Meet my best friend Donna :)

Yaah! That's her my very silly, crazy, fun best friend. The one wearing striped blue and white top. She is Donna my very beautiful friend and we call each other "Gay" we are not one, we just like calling each other with it. We've been friends for 22 years, that means we been friends since birth and we are lucky that we have so much in common in terms of food, outfits, music,humor and etc., not much when it comes to guy things. She is somewhat difficult or should i say picky when its comes to guys. Its always fun when are together, going clubbing, drinking a bottle of beer, eating together and our most favorite part together is having a loooong night talk. But then, like every other best friends, we quarrel and has some misunderstanding at times but we know we can all work it out and find ways to get back to each other. Its always a good thing having a friend like that, one you can count on whenever you need assistance or support, and the best thing with our friendship is that we are solid we both got each others back specially when one is in trouble. We are currently apart for now, she is somewhere miles away from me because of work and i miss her..ALOT! 

Well, I only hope that she is well all the time, i miss her, but its okay, we do video calls at some times so, its all good. I am happy and contented with just one friend, BEST FRIEND all in ONE. I wish we stay friends like this until we're old. Love lots Gay! xoxoxoxoxo

This is all for now!!.. Hope to share more and can have tooons of time to write!
