It is so nice to have a friend that you can talk to about your interests, hobbies, problems, and past issues in life. This is my first vlog with my best friend Kate, I met her when I was in first year college, we have the same course which is psychology and we became best friends since then. So we chose to name this vlog as “Kate & Gigi” since this vlog is all about getting to know more with each other and also it is like a food vlog. So expect that in the video there will be a lot of laughing and also chikahan. We plan to record the video at SM City Baguio which is very accessible for us students of the University of the Cordilleras, and also we want to go and try the new branch of Zark’s Burger here in Baguio which is located at SM’s sunset terraces lower ground, and we also planned to.have our photoshoot there. So 3 plans in 1 place? Go to SM.
Back to the content of the vlog.Kate and I have a lot in common. We both love taking pictures, shopping, and exploring different kinds of food. We also love to dress up and have a photoshoot. And we love to travel to different places. So since we have known each other for a long time, the memories and experiences made our friendship stronger. So as best friends, we have our bonding time which is going to different fast foods, restaurants, milk tea shops, and try their bestselling foods. So yeah the common denominator is food, who doesn’t love food? And honestly we are addicted to milktea so if you want to pursue either one of us you need to buy milktea for the two of us, kidding aside.So back to the vlog, having this chikahan with her I realize that there’s a lot that I don’t know about Kate. We started the” getting to know more about each other” by playing rock papers, scissors. So since I am expert on that game, kidding aside, I won and I had the privilege to ask first. So it is somewhat a question and answer portion.
The first question I asked was about the first time she fell in love. I was shocked because she answered it was only last year, because I thought it was on her high school days. I had discovered that my best friend is still a sweet innocent gal who wants to be treated like Maria Clara, and she wants to be courted for a long period of time. It saddened me because the first time she fell in love she was also fell broken. Is is so hard to get up after beinh broken, been there and done that. It is full of heartaches and tears. So just to lessen the mood because i think it is still fresh to her, the memory is still hurting her. I decided to also asked about her favorite color because honestly I really don’t know what color is it until that time that I asked her. She simply said that pastel yellow is her favorite color because for her that color is very appealing to her sight. She also mentioned that there are hobbies she had back then that she doesn’t do anymore which is like getting out with her barkadas on picnic and parties, which is she often do when she was in high school, but now that hobby was removed because of college life and perks of being in the adulting stage of life which I can really relate to, because I now as a college student I prefer to stay at home and be productive in terms of academic life than going out always with my peers. But Kate and I manage to have bonding time because we often do our projects together and we review together. Pizza is her favorite food which is not so shocking to me because she usually choose pizza for her snack and she tells stories about how she eat pizzas. By thinking about that we were really compatible with each other because I love baking cakes, pizzas and pastries while on the other hand Kate loves to eat sweets and Pizza. We both love watching movies and reading books. As for me I most love writing poems especially when I am at the mood for a dramatic one. The beach is also what we both most like because of its crystal like water and magnificent view. On the last question we both ask about what are the characteristics of a man we like. So she answered that she wants to have a man who has a sweet scent that could capture her heart and a man who can really wait for her.
We have a lots In common but we also fall into arguments sometimes but since our friendship is strongly bonded we cannot be separated.
After of minutes of chikahan while eating burger and fries at Zark’s we decided to look around the mall, window shop actually. So while walking around we talked about our wants and interests in life, particularly in our future. I always was the first to ask questions because she is somewhat a shy person comapred to me. I always initiate conversations. On our interests in life, she said to me that she wants to be a Psychologist and work abroad, on the other hand I want to be a Guidance Counselor and stay here at the Philippines. We both want to help children and also the elderly that’s why we want to pursue a high paying job so that we can build a free health center, and home for the aged. It was so surprising that we have the same plans after college except the migration part that she wants, but it is so overwhelming for me knowing that we both want to extend our help and we both have a good heart for the people. Thinking about that plans that we both discuss was like a heart touching moment for me.
Getting to know more about each other is a good way to start a deeper and more bonded friendship. It is also a good way to open up, to share and to inspire. Having good friends by your side may also give you positive mood and a colorful life. True friends are hard to find, but they will try hard to stay by your side if you need help.
