Let me share with you a quick back story.
The other day, I thought of looking for writing prompts on the internet because I didn’t know what to write as a blog entry or content. And then it came to my mind to print out the prompts that caught my interest. I even already imagined writing those prompts and turning them into a full content. I already had ideas on what to write out of the topics I read. And so, I printed almost a hundred prompts, cut it per topic and put those in a jar. So, next time I will be suffering from writer’s block or procrastination, I’ll pick at least five to write it down.
And here’s my first entry! But I hope to write more.

My social love tank is always full whenever I go out with my best friend.
There’s this moment that we went out together (just the two of us) when he visited me near my place. We hung out around Eastwood Mall. We ate at my favorite ramen place. He usually talks loudly as if he doesn’t care about other people around us. I always ask him to minimize his voice for some privacy.
But when our stories are getting better and juicier, we both just don’t care and talk as loudly as we can! Oops, sorry to those we disturbed!
After our late lunch, we then went to our favorite coffee shop! I was so happy when we bought our favorite Frappuccinos.
Maybe to some, it’s a small thing but it means a lot to me.
Small things always matter to me and those are actually the big things when walking back to our Memory Lane. It always feels good to reminisce about happy moments. And most of the time our happy thoughts came from those sweet, little events in our life.
After having our coffee date, we even roamed the mall and nearby parks after.
We just talked and laughed and sometimes our topics were getting serious.
And as the sun went down, we had dinner at his favorite restaurant.
We parted ways that night with happy hearts and full love tanks.
I’m grateful for having him as my go-to closest buddy. He would always love listening to my stories, rants and even not so worthy thoughts.
And I do the same for him. I’m his favorite human diary and I’m so honored to be like it.
It’s always a life update session with him as we only get to see each other twice or thrice a year. And those moments are worth it. We laugh loudly over our favorite food and coffee and we talk nonstop. I always feel like I’m my real self when I’m with my closest friends. I only have a few friends but I make sure that I cherish and treasure them. It’s always a nice feeling when you’re at your favorite place with your favorite people.
Time would always pass swiftly when we are enjoying it and yet the memories remain in our hearts.
Life is short. Let’s always choose our time to spend it not just wisely but with full of happiness and most specially, we must spend our time with the people who truly matter to us and as much as we matter to them.
We tend to always focus on our own life because every day, we need to survive but let’s also remember to keep in touch with our loved ones and closest friends.
Who knows what a simple call or text from us could do? Maybe this would make someone’s day a little brighter and better. And it might be the best day ever if you spend it over a cup of your favorite coffee or a plate of your favorite meal.
Indeed, it’s the best thing ever!
P.S. Shout to my best friend, Marcelo.
I love you with all my heart! Half of my life was already spent with you and I don’t mind spending it forever as your bestest friend! Love you always and so much!
