I am a loyal friend. I love my friends even when we have separated ways when we finished high school. I have five best friends when I was in high school. When we parted ways to pursue college education, I was the only one who was in another city. I kept in contact with them by writing them and sending them cards but they never responded. Perhaps they were too busy with their studies. When we met again when we were already with our own families, we still have that closeness before, although it was different because each of us have our own children. I am a friend who never forgets the past and always cherish the good parts of friendship.

Hi Masmasika... I have so many friends but only few friends that I can really call as a True Friend. I am a kind of friend that values everything in our friendship even just the simplest thing or it doesn't matter whether how small could that be. Like you I don't forget a friend. I have this friend during my high school days and up to our college days we always see each other even when we were in a different school then. She is what I call my "MY VERY BEST FRIEND" she never leaves me whenever I needed her most and so am I... We're friends for almost 24 years, and now we're living together in same house. She already has her own family and I am a single parent with an 18 year old son. I do value my friend so much although there are times of misunderstanding between us we make it sure that we will settle our differences at the end of the day and as if nothing happened at all. For me she's really a part of my life.My Best Friend is not only just a friend she's also my sister,my confidante,my adviser and my conscience.

I think I am a good friend. I have set of friends also (high school days) when we go to different colleges we see each other every sunday as get together. But times change when we have our own work and marriage comes we seldom see each other but we do understand each other for the time not spend together that much because of the duties and responsibilities we have now in our own family. We communicate through cellphones (thanks for the technology) just saying hi, how are you, happy birthday etc. We organize get together every christmas. I cherish also that I have those kind of friends.

A truely friend is who can give your a hand rather than the one pull you into the sea when you are in a badly situation.Above what you said is just a relation of school,we called tha as classmate.Obviously,it is easy to make friends in classmates.

Hi there Masmasika! Like you, I am also a very loyal friends. I even remember getting into fist fights because of them. Most of the time, I find myself fighting their fights for them. I keep in touch with them now through Friendster, a social-networking site that is very popular here in the Philippines and text messaging, with the ones that I have the numbers. I also love reminiscing the past, our happiness and naughtiness.

I have a group of friends that I have been friends with since school and we have always looked out for each other,we have seemed to part ways a little bit because most of us live in different cities and several of my friends are married or getting married,just like me and my fiance are engaged and are getting married in September of next year,only one of them I am really close to,and he is like a brother to me,and he would do anything for me,just like I would do anything for him,and I consider my a very loyal friend,and I have tried to keep in touch with the other friends,but it seems like when I called them or message them,they do not always respond back to me but at least I can say I tried,and most of the other friends can not be trusted because they just seem to use people when they need something.

Hi there, I love writing letters too. Me and my friends have contact in each other. We always texted each and everyday if we have load to text. We love writing letters to, when I was in highschool I never forget give my friends a letter when occasion comes, like valentines, birthdays or christmas. Turn to college I still sent letters to my friends even to the boys. Only in letters I express what I feel or what I want to tell about them. When I was in college we exchanges letters and saying what we want to tell to somebody. Even we see each other everyday we never forgot to write letter. We did it because we want to fill our each boxes we own with letters because we want if we get older, we want to reminisce about what we have when we are in young age.

I am a very loyal and supportive friend. i am transparent to my friends by telling them not only good things about them but also the negative ones. i am always there for my friends especially when they need a shoulder to cry onto. i think i am a good listener and i am sympathetic. i put myself on the shoe of others. i always make sure that i get in touch with my friends from time to time. well, i've got a lot of friends and i have kept a few as my bestfriends. i miss some of them because they live far from our place now. i will always treasure those moments that i had with them.
