Who's your best friend?

        Mine is Shareid Shundy Bayang Aguilar. For past days, she became this really annoying and demanding person who just needs to get what she wants. And she needs to get it from me.  Something that I have to produce. As if she doesn't understand what busy means and, as if no one else can make it for her. So here I am in our University Library, having some time to spare, writing a description of my best friend (because I love her)  for her yearbook in a maximum of 70 words. But I don't do well with rules. (I was looking through my old blog page and I saw a blog I wrote about our friendship right here)

        I don't know where to start. Let's start with the physical. She is tall, dark and somewhere between medium to large frame. She has this thick, long, dark hair that she loves put down though pony-tail looks better on her. Her eyes are beautiful. She has this naturally thick long eyelashes that would normally require people to put on some eyelash extensions and/or volumizing/extending mascara. 

        She's good with music and I think music likes her too. She can sing, play the guitar, a little bit of the violin and the keyboard. She also dances but she never really made much of an effort to hone her talent in that area. When we were in high school, I remember being so proud of her whenever she performs because you can just see so much passion and life whenever she does the things that she does. I have never seen her anymore happier when she was on the stage, strumming her guitar and singing her heart out.

       Shareid is loud. maybe that's why we became best friends. Or she became loud since I became her best friend, I don't know. Almost everyday of my four years in high school was spent with her. SO guess it's safe to say that pretty much every good and bad memory was spent with her.

        Over the past few years, we drifted geographically and changed individually. One thing I am glad about is that despite all that, communication lines remained open. Despite our distance and small chance of catching up even during vacations, I'm glad that this person still knows me inside and out - my reactions, my intentions, my actions, and every little detail of what's in my mind. I hope it's safe to say that I know her that well too.

          Shareid has a lot of potentials - she's talented, clever and opinionated - but I'm not sure she believed that before because, every time she looks at herself, all she saw were her mistakes and faults. But that was before. Now, I am confident that Shareid will conquer and make a difference in this world because she not only have confidence in herself but all the more in Christ. I know that her God will bring her to places beyond her expectations and cause her to touch hearts and change the lives of other people. Shareid is going to be great, not because of her own strengths and abilities but because she lives for the glory of her Father. Some people might think  she can't do it because she's a late bloomer and that she's too young and meek and ignorant. But it's never really about how early you bloom. It's about the blooming. And when everybody else's falling away, she will stand out and bloom gloriously and beatifully because her time has come.
