Today's Sunday, 19th of April. It's hot. And dull. And dreary. Oh and it's also Camille's birthday.

I've known Camille for about 4 years now. She was my classmate back in the 7th grade, and my supposed field trip partner but I didn't get to go to our class field trip. Back then, we weren't really in good terms. We weren't exactly friends since we didn't belong in the same clique. Then came Junior year. We were classmates. At first, I never really thought of talking to her, but fate had its own opinion. Camille and I began talking because we knew same people from Ateneo. It was a very helpful conversation starter.

To make the long story short, we became best friends. It amazes me that we only fought like, thrice? And it didn't even last that long. We get along and we're always in good terms. I then am very glad to have a best friend like Camille. Aside from Camille, I have another best friend, Chelene. The three of us hang out in school together, and going out is practically a ritual. Apparently, we all went throught the 'sand-papering' stage. It came to the point wherein we gave each other the silent treatment, joining various cliques.

It was sad, because during the last day of classes, we still weren't in good terms. Camille and I hung out together, and Chelene went with other people. It was rather awkard and confusing. I felt sad because we still weren't in good terms. But earlier, I was able to talk to them on the phone for a long time (thank God for 3-way) and we were able to settle our misunderstandings. It was all because of lack of communication.

When the call ended, the weight had been lifted. We were back to our normal selves again, and I believe that nothing can ever tear us apart. It just takes time for the wounds to heal, but the joyful memories we shared will always overpower the damages we've caused. We are best friends and forever we'll be; end of story.

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY CAMILLE!
