I know; the last time I posted was about five hours ago, but I couldn't help it when I saw a post in my wifey's blog which was dedicated all to her best friends - including me. So, in reply to hers, and to show the world just who my best friends were, I decided to dedicate my tenth post to my best friends.
BFF. I'm sure you all know what it is an acronym of. Best Friends Forever. Those who do not bail out on each other in times of caution and danger; those who do not gossip behind their backs because they even care about their reputation; those you go shopping with and share naughty secrets with; those you never, ever can lie to about your feelings because they know you a bit better than you thought they did.
And here, I dedicate a whole entry to my three girl BFFs. Of course, I have guys, too, but I've mentioned them a lot in the past entries. It's the girls' time now - for they are the most important of my friends, after all. No harm intended.
Ard; Frosty Passion
Let's start with this pretty girl. And I mean it, she is one of the prettiest Asian chicks I have ever met. Large, dark eyes. Pale skin. Thick, black hair. Even a perfect nose. And this is all without make-up. Yeah, we tend not to wear anything on our faces except lipgloss or eyeliners at times. But with make-up on, she will be more gorgeous than anyone I know! She's just really, really pretty!
How we met? Well, I don't quite remember exactly where...but she was one of those quiet, lonely, polite kids just tring to stay out of trouble. Knowing how I was when I was young, I never thought I'd be closer to her than anyone else. Yes, I was the opposite - hyper, loud, boasting about my qualities (hey, I was a kid. shame wasn't a word for me), and I was anything but polite. I often embarrased myself in front of Indonesian people because I hardly knew what the hell Indonesian kids were like - I mean, they were polite to others and respected their adults, while I mostly didn't, and they were not very noisy like I was. Language was also a problem for me - Ard was only fluent in Indonesian at that time and I was only fluent in English. Many children and adults mocked me for not knowing my own mother tongue, and believe it or not, tough girl right here cried because of it. I hated it - being insulted by people just because I spoke what they didn't speak. I hated it when they asked me "Where's your Indonesian pride?" or "Do your parents not teach you anything about us Indonesians?" I would try to hold myself in, but I would always, always cry. I was a crybaby ;P
But Ard was different. Even though we had a lot of miscommunicating, she still stuck there with me. She tried her best to improve (though I know it was for school purposes and not for me ;P) but she still...accepted me. Regardless of what I could and could not speak nor my manners. She may not know, but she is one of the reasons why I do not care of what people think of me anymore!
How we became best friends? It's all a mystery to me, too. I guess it's probably because we kept spending time with each other. I mean, I remember I used to go over to her house all the time to watch Anime and play that doctor thing with the dolls. Remember that Ard? I feel terribly embarrased.
What she's like? Hm...She's lovely. She's pretty. She's polite with other people (but not to me -_- huaha i kid baby ;P). I don't really know why she's shy. I mean, there isn't anything about her to be shy of. Nothing in her to be ashamed of! Seriously. She's like...closer to perfect than anyone I know. She's such a camwhore; I mean, all those pictures of her pouting on camera...SURE. I mean, I even do POSES on camera, but...XD I'm sorry Ard and everyone - I JUST LOVE ARD! She's just a doll. I LOOOOVE her. I wouldn't trade her for anything.
Wishes? I hope that I've been a great help to Ard, because I want to do anything I can to help her. I want her to be more confident and walk with her own two feet; although maybe I do need to help her stand a while. I want her to come here and we can go shopping together, do our hair in the salon and have manicures during sleepovers, just like real girls. I just want to see her again. ):
Message? I miss you Ard. A hell of a lot more than you think. Thank you for always supporting me and understanding me, always behind me by 100% There's no one I can ever thank for supporting me as much as I thank you. I believe that you will be able to get everything you want, as long as you work extra hard for it. You know more than I do that the sweat will be worth it in the end. For everything I've done wrong to you, I am very sorry. I'm so sorry if I ever hurt you in any way, because I know when I was young, I tend to make fun of anyone who I thought wasn't better than me and you know that more than anyone. I'm so sorry that at the time I cried at Sharf's house, I had to lie to you and tell you about this Jessica girl I made up; I'm so sorry I have to say this right now - the real reason I was crying was because you guys were passing diary entries in front of me and you wouldn't let me see - so I felt really jealous and left out. I was...a complete idiot, I know, but the looks on your faces when you guys saw me in front of that door...it just made me feel like you guys didn't want me there. I was so sad. But I've gotten over it. I'm so sorry I lied. I love you so much. I really, really do.
Mira; Imperfection is Perfection
She has the looks, she has the body, she has the attittude. Perfect. She would survive on the streets better than anyone could. I'm not saying this as an insult, but she really is amazing. She knows, and I've always been telling her, what a miracle she was. She has this...aura about her. I don't really know, but she just makes me feel safe?
How we met? Believe it or not, it's been less than two years since we've met, and probably just a little over a year since we became best friends. Sisters, actually. The day we declared our unbreakable bond was when we declared our sisterhood. Not only sisters, actually...twins. We met on the internet, through a very good friend, Maye. I can't thank Maye enough for having brought to me this adorable young girl. (by the way, she's less than a month younger than me (: and people do tell us we absolutely look like sisters).
How we became best friends? This question has already been half-answered in the above. I don't know, I guess we were both having troubles and then by chance, we were the only ones online at that time or something...so we talked to each other and we totally agreed. We also had joint fanfics - which we NEVER completed, but they were fun to make ;P felt like I was needed for the first time of my life - and we had our little BRACKET TALK. It's a secret (:
What's she like? Strict. Independant. Strong. Qualities of women we now rarely find. She stands up for herself, has absolute dignity and confidence, and is not ashamed about anything in herself. I wish I could be more like her. I wish I could have strong values in life like she does and I also want to be a role model for a lot of young girls out there.
Wishes? I WISH YOU'D COME BACK TO ABU DHABI YOUNG LADY! Unni will very much punish you when you get back here. *sighs* I wish you could forgive me for all those I did to disappoint you. I wish I would earn your whole trust again. I wish you a great life, and I wish you'd get over it all. I'm serious - I know you don't love me that much anymore, but I do, and...well...I just wish the best for you because I am your sister. And it is my duty to protect you from the dangers of the world.
Message? You've always, always been the greatest tip-giver for beauty products - except for that Neutrogena blackhead scrub. That actually gave me a lot more red bumps so my mom told me to stop using it. It's almost recovered, actually. Mira, you're a great girl, and you don't deserve anything you're going through right now. Please, I beg of you, hang in there. There must be some way to get you out of it all. There must be some way, and no matter what, Unni shall find it for you. Unni has never been good with promises, but...I shall promise to try. I love you so much. Please come back, I need you here! D:
Nian; Fly Away
This girl is considered tall for a Southeast Asian girl (we're very short, actually. Not many of us reach about five feet tall. I'm five feet two, thank god), but this girl is five feet three, which is taller than my dad. Haha, well, maybe she grew, since the last time I saw her was about three years ago.
How we met? Believe it or not, we met way before Ard and I met. Actually, since my father and her father were from the same part in Indonesia, they got to know each other and one day, their family comes to our house, and I saw her. She was so thin and shy, and her mother had to push her forward in order for her to shake hands with me. Yes, she was that shy. Then I found out she was going to our school, and she wasn't that fluent in English, so I helped her in reading a few literature books. For the next couple of days, we had gotten closer because of this. She was extremely fun when she wasn't in her shy mode, and I just loved her. We soon became very, very good friends and then - best!
What's she like? See, this girl is shy to people she doesn't know, and she barely believes in herself. She always tells herself she isn't good enough, and she knows I know that she knows she's so much better! Sometimes she pisses me off because of her cluelessness, but all in all, I love her because in order to be BFFs, you also have to love their flaws. I really don't mind that she is a blockhead, mainly because I think it's cute, and if I were a guy, I'd find it cute, too.
Wishes? Just like the others, I wish the best for her. I also wish she'd start seeing potential in herself and not think of herself as a loser. Maybe she's just doing it because she likes the attention I give her, maybe not. I don't care, but I'd wish she'd stop telling herself that and start believing that there is a man out there unlike any other that will love her so much no matter who or what she is.
Message? I've been mentioning this to you the whole time, Nian. Believe in yourself. Think of yourself as one of the best women in the world, just don't get too conceited 'cuz that's annoying too ;P But at least have some faith that you are girlfriend material, and I know you are! That deep down inside, there is a beautiful girl, waiting to show herself to the world. Be that girl, be the girl that only lucky men get. Be a girl with dignity and pride for womanhood, and don't give up on your studies. Oh gosh, I feel so gay all of a sudden -_-. I miss you so much. There's so much I want to tell you, so much I want to show you, so much I want to teach you. I hope that I can visit you in Indonesia, and we have a great time like before! I love you so much.
Well, I guess that's it for today. My hand hurts like hell and Yunah's waiting for it.
LOVE YOU THREE. HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!
