I got more than a tan in Boracay.

I've always been a fan of girlie movies like Now and Then and The Sweetest Thing. I love how they're able to capture the dynamic of the relationship between girlfriends--all the craziness and silliness and drunken moments and hirits that only girls who've known each other forever can appreciate.


But I don't need a movie to get my fill of girlfriend love. I just spent four days in a beautiful island with two of my best friends. It's been a week since I left for Bora, and I miss it so much already--not just the sun, surf, and sand, but the girls as well. Bea, Melch, and I packed enough laughter into four days than a lot of people get in maybe four years. There were the inevitable misunderstandings, but nothing a friendship that's lasted over a decade couldn't withstand.


We've grown up together, these girls and I have. There are the stories that we tell over and over; they never seem to get old. We could blackmail each other with shameless photographs and romantic histories. We've gone through boyfriends, breakups, various fitness regimens, graduations. And we'll go through so much more together. Time and distance, be not proud.

These girls are proof that there are still a few things that can be counted on in this world. :)
