I had this girl classmate when I was in first year highschool and we were friends but not that close.. In our second year we became classmates again and we started to get close. During our third year we still belonged to the same class and we formed a group or should i say "barkada". Our group composed of 12 people both girls and boys. We enjoyed each other's company and went through misunderstandings but we see to it that its settled before the day ends... During our fourth year me and the girl were not classmates anymore but we still would hang out during lunch and after classes. During the summer break I went to cebu for a vacation. I stayed there for more than two weeks and when I came back and went out with the group the girl did not mind me that much when in fact we were really close. Days went by and she didn't mind another girl. We reached college and still she wouldn't mind us. They say her reason is about a guy.. I thnk so too but i'm not sure. In the first semester she still didn't mind me and in the first and middle part of the second sem. Now that second sem is about to end she started minding me.. I was surprised.. That happened yesterday.. We talked but for a short time only like 10 mins. And so i didn't have the time to ask her why she didn't mind me for a long time. But now i'm happy since we're friends again! What a wonderful feeling.=)

Making friends is not easy and choosing good and best friends is also so difficult. Only lucky people got best friends for them. Good friends meet after a long search. i have some good friends and i got them one by one after a long period of my life, and Now i make one company of all those friends. and we all are part of each other life, we love, we care, we respect, we fun, we friends, for each other.

yah there's a time when we have so many friends and then after awhile some move away.. Well you'll know who your true friends are after a long time.. Since those who stick or who are still with you today are your true friends. Time tells you who your true friends are.

it's nice to keep the numbers and addresses of highschool friends so that when you become older you still know where to find them. You can tract your friends in friendster maybe.. oh how old are you? maybe they are not using friendster. It's nice when you always communicate with old friends especially when you're far from them. Emailing tehm is one.. or even chatting!

Yes its usually a wonderful feeling to have a friend who is usually not a friend for a long time. You should ask the other about the reason for not being friend with you and not minding you till now. Anyway its wonderful that now she is one of your friend.

In situation like this, you have to ask her sooner or later why she acted that way because there will always be this unspoken thing between the two of you. And who knows this will be repeated in the future. Better find out the truth as early so that whatever misunderstanding you two have will not come in a way of your friendship.

Sometimes we encouter a lot of misunderstandings with our friends. Some causes are jealuosy, anger, indifference. But if we treasure and value our friendship then we make moves to save our friendship. It is hard to loose friends especially if we have good memories with them. And in your case I think your friend still want to be with your company again. Welcome her and talk to her why she made those actions. But do not be too harsh on her. Maybe she just need time for herself and now she realize how you are important to her. I hope that this situation would not happen to your friendship again. And talk to your friends that if one of you has hatred of something that they do not like you better discuss it than to just leave and never say anything.

We're okay now.. But most of our "barkadas" before are not friends with her anymore. Maybe she made friends with me since she has less friends now.

Your need to really try to talk to her about this. Maybe somthing is going on with her. Rather than discussing it with others, try discussing it with her.
