the carmen furio post

My best friend, my seatmate, the other part of me. HAHa.

Seriously, she was my classmate through the four years of my high school and I am very much blessed to have known her, moreover, to have been her friend. I'm sure all of the people who's acquainted with her would agree when I say that she's a breath of fresh air wherever she is. She's always this light, bubbly girl who's very talented and very mabait and very sweet. That's how everyone would describe her.

But, being her 'best friend,' she's someone that would listen to you, whenever you need it. She's my sounding board and it's kinda crazy how she didn't turn up a lunatic listening to me. :D hehe, she's lucky. She's there when I'm so full of energy, and especially when I'm drained. She's actually like a shrink. And if there's anyone who could predict my behavior as closest as possible, she's it.

But, sometimes, her mabait-ness gets the better of her. People sometimes goes way overboard, they overestimate her. She would cry of how people would get so mean, how they could get so rude. But, in the end, she's always been the one to reach out to her 'enemies', if you could even call them that. San ka pa diba?

And have I mentioned how she looks like? My gad! She's this Filipina beauty, that's always smiling. Her hair is simple and black, parted kinda off-center. Her eyes, is kindof chinita, but not really, parang almond shaped na pinaliit ung height. Her lips are fine, most of the times, dry, like mine (that's one thing we share). She always wears earrings, the last time I saw them, they were white-flowered studs, and she started wearing her necklace-since-birth when we were fourth year. And you know what it looks like when she sashays through the corridors? Amazing. Breathtaking. She's like this angel, with her hair bouncing around her round face, with her eyes complementing the brightness of her smile. Simply, radiant.

And, that makes her one of the crush-ng-bayan of our batch. I've tried counting the guys who would TRY to court her since first year, and until now, I've never finished. :) hehe, maybe that's too much, but seriously, there are a LOT.

You know what else? She's part of the cheerdancing team, because she likes to dance! Also, she's part of her community's choir, because, what do you know?, she also's good on vocals! And if there's a top ten list of persons who people would trust, she'd be topping that list. She's currently taking up statistics in UP-LB, because, what the heck, she's good in math! Maintaining a healthy and BIG circle of friends, singing, dancing, and MATh?! Hah! I'd call her supergirl and it won't even be close.

See, I'm just so lucky we got sectioned together for four years. :)

So, Carmen Furio, my best friend, my seatmate, my secret-keeper.
Carmen Furio, who always keeps the atmosphere bright and always reminds me that there's a silver lining behind every cloud, despite the cloud being a teacher, a friend, a guy, an exam or whatever.

I hope she finds her rightful place in this life, as she continues to influence the people around her with her unforgettable smile.
