It was one good evening, I've been to Boracay ooops! not in the Boracay Island but actually it was named after that certain place. I am pertaining to a restaurant serving Asian food to be exact it is a Filipino delicacies. Thanks to you my friend for treating us to dinner I am somewhat shy over that dinner for you always treat us and we just enjoy eating without spending a penny. How can I give you more than what you are giving us except for thanking you and appreciating what you've done, I hope someday I can return back the kindness you are showing to me. But don't get me wrong it's not that I want to pay you back, it is simply to give you what you should receive in return. What do you think I should do with this friend of mine? But take note need not expensive ha...lols!

I think that taking your friend for a coffee would be fine. And I know that your gesture would be highly appreciated. Or you can ask your friend to visit Tagaytay.

Oh, I sorry! I though you were here in Manila. Anyeay, I think that an inexpensive of showing gratitude can be shown even with just taking her for a treat over a cafe or perhaps bringing her to a very nice place there.

Thanks I am thinking about it also, just hoping that she will come with me for a coffee in my favorite coffee shop. Tagaytay is a very nice place but it is in the Philippines while we are here in Qatar maybe someday if given a chance we'll visit that tourist spot.

Hi there! I think we can show our appreciation to our good friends by being a good and sincere friend to them. I have some friends who are like your friend, and I very much appreciate them, and when I got a chance, I definitely try my best to do good to them as well. There are a lot of ways that we can show them that we appreciate them and sometimes its our actions that will show them what we feel inside.

Hello Ckyera, I agree with you, I always appreciate my good friends and never will I forget them no matter what happen. The things and moments we've shared are always good to cherish and I'm thankful to have them in my life.

Are you referring to that restaurant in Dubai? I have been there (in Dubai) for a year but I wasn't able to go there; now I learned my friends back there visited it and they said that it was indeed a good experience. Speaking of good friends, I miss them so much. But we all have to move on with our lives and they know that we have no choice but to part ways but our friendship is still there. There's the internet for one thing that can keep us all connected.

Yeah it is a good place but this one is in Qatar and they are serving tasty foods. Parting ways is really a part of our life but the best thing here is that we experienced life with them...

Glad you had a great time, time with friends is like time with family. Nothing better than that...

I'm glad too, it's true there's nothing more precious than time spent with the love ones.

I guess you can appreciate your friend's actions by taking treating them to a meal or maybe a movie. Or it can be just something that allows you to spend time with each other. I think it's more about the thought that counts rather than how much you spent. There are times where you can do meaningful things for another person which does not require too much money. But that all depends on the relationship you have with your friend.

I guess so, I really appreciate all the things we've done to each other even though sometimes it is just petty things for others for us it's special. You know the difference when it comes to friends things being shared are always meaningful. That's true friendship can do for us...

If he doesn't need you to treat him,I suggest that you can buy a gift for him.As a Chinese saying goes,friendship cannot stand on one side.And next time when he treats you the dinner again,please take it easy and if you are really friends,feel free to talk about your thoughts to him. Have a nice day.

My best friend is always doing such thing on me. I am shy on what he is doing. He even treats us for a free movie after having dinner. Sometimes I tried to avoid him because of too much shy on my part that I am not returning back the things that he is doing to me and to my other friends. I don't know if I am right on this...

You're right, but you don't have to avoid him just because of what he's doing. Appreciate it and do the same instead, like what I'm planning to do with my friend because he might misunderstood it if you try to avoid him.Common let's think better ways to treat them also...and be happy!

Well, I think you should start by actually appreciating what they've done. You said you don't really want to return the favor and then you said you didn't want to make the paying back too expensive. Have you ever thought to offer to pay for the dinner yourself?
