Friends and Chocolate Mousses
(A sequel to Friends and Blueberry Cheesecakes)
By: Maria Reylan M. Garcia
There it was, neatly sliced on the edges. A thick layer of foamy chocolate on top of a lush crust of brownie garnished with soft delectable mallows, it was heaven on a dessert plate.
It was Chocolate Mousse. I get the same tingles on the taste buds each time I brought the fork nearer to my tongue? My first year college classmates opted to surprise my 18th birthday with this heaven-sent delight. The cakebox was covered in scribbles of black permanent marker as if screaming their birthday greetings with all the excitement and an unwavering hope for a lunch treat.
For many years, it was apparent to my liking that Chocolate Mousse is just the second best thing next to Blueberry Cheesecakes, but for that time being, simply because it was given by such special persons, Chocolate Mousse became my number one. It’s amazing how friends could make cakes a lot sweeter.
Friends, why have the world so suddenly see them as special? They’re not blood nor share the same surnames, but they are treated in the same level as family. They are strangers from the same school,neighborhood or work. Strangers who gradually became reasons why we whistle a tune while going to work, why we have barbeque parties, and why we bother to wear our uniforms and skittle to our early morning classes. They are special because unlike our families who are bounded by birth certificates, friends can easily break and do away without the relationship anytime, but in the end they choose not too and just
stay right beside.
Friendship doesn’t have any reason to remain and grow except friendship itself. Like cakes and desserts, these friends come in different flavors, colors and sizes but their taste proves tobe common, the taste of acceptance and trust.
You might have friends like Marinel, who never fails to be forever frank and genuine; someone who would simply fight for her principle sat any cost yet melts like cheese at the sight of some cute chinito guy. Treasure her, you’ll be aware of your mistakes and together you laugh or cry at them and continue living agreeing to be better the next time around.
Have come to know a Christopher? A wise and practical adviser who’s every statement you truly consider as relevant and who won’t let a day pass without making you giggle as he struggles for prioritizing between a box of doughnuts or a cup of halo-halo. Be glad you are friends with him; you’ll be able to make better decisions each day.
Then, there is someone like Janine, who can brighten up your dimmesthours with her cheerful smiles and unmatched words of encouragement.You’re lucky you know her, by then you’ll never loose faith and trust of what is to come.
You’ll be happy you made friends with a Jayzon; a talented, energetic and hilarious leader who can amazingly be objective and sensitive to the needs of others at the same time. Keep him close, he’ll teach you how to stand on your feet while assuring you his untiring loyalty.
Sometime in your life, you might meet people like Kevin, Janus and Ryan who are the best set of lunch mates and the best set of people to have a conversation with. Take care of them,they’ll expand your thoughts to the wackiest and yet the most enlightening.
Ever met a Rose Anne, a Monika or an April? They can scold you a thousand times for the right reasons, yet never can you grow a slight ounce of regret for befriending them. Be pleased they’re your friends; they’ll show the most concern and give the best set of hugs in the world.
You might be best friends with some persons like Tracy and Hope. They are simply the most family-oriented and kindhearted people you’ll meet, who’ll be at your refuge 24/7 since they almost treat you like family. Don’t ever let them go, they’ll remind you of your family and the love you must give back.
Look around and you might know someone like Clever and Julian. Though more feminine than they should be, they defend their friends like no other gentleman can. It’s great you have them; you’ll always be assured that someone indeed pledges to protect you against any other enemy.These are among the many types of friends that exist in this world,they each possess qualities which led you to hang-out, watch movies,have a sleep-over or pour your deepest secrets with them
Friends are persons who would always want the best for you. Friends are persons who have the courage to tell you to shut up when it’s enough or simply because your breath stinks. Friends are persons, who don’t exactly wipe your tears since tissues are quite abundant, they simply sit at your side and cry along hoping after sometime you’ll laugh at the problem and move on. This is my way of thanking those remarkable set of people who remain to be my friends.
Blueberry Cheesecake tastes better.
But, Chocolate Mousse will always be more special.
BSN WanBee, my friends I thank you for choosing to stay with me.
