5 THINGS ABOUT BEBI A

Bebi A and I have been friends since our college sophomore years. Our freshmen year is a totally different story; yes, we were block mates but we didn't instantly get along. She is among the brat pack and the smart ones in our block, whereas I am just that shy, average girl from the province. She has always been very vocal and straightforward, which is the reason why I knew she didn't liked me then; she doesn't hate me, but she doesn't like me either. And, then one day I was hanging out with our common friend during the cinemalaya festival in Manila, she joined us and we really can't remember how we started to become really good friends, but the bottom line is that we've grown together being each other's best friend. When we became friends, there isn't really no other way around it, we just know that we really are friends, that's it. Bebi A is kinda like a double edged sword; if she became your friend, she will stick up for you no matter what or no matter how far she has to go out of her way for you. But if you hurt her and the people she loves, she will get back to you, three-fold. 

We're really a trio; bebi A, mamee Sue and I, and we've been through a lot and we can really say that we know each other very well.

And these are some of the things I know about Bebi A:


1. She is passionate

when she was still a 'Kolehiyala'

She pours her heart and hard work in whatever she does. Back in college, we're among the batch of intense multi-taskers; she was a cheerleader, an org officer, a school paper editor and all the other things that she does for others on the side. And with all this, she never lacked the heart and strength to give her best in everything she committed herself to. She even came to a point that she didn't even know how she got through all her deadlines; she just sailed on and deliver whatever she can and with that, she never disappoints. As if all of her responsibilities on hand is too much, she still finds time to party a bit, to be a good confidant and be a girlfriend to her Popo.
And now, she is living the life with the same boyfie from college, kuya Carl, in Singapore, she is also a budding entrepreneur and is pretty much able to do or buy whatever she wants for herself, her mom and all the people she loves. She really works hard in everything she does, so she really deserves whatever she has now.

 
2. She is multi-talented

The fierce cheerleader that she is

She is a dancer, a good story teller and a closeted singer! Haha. Her more known talent is dancing because she’s a cheerleader and she always say that she can really express herself whenever she dances. And, we can really tell that she enjoys it because she will go through hell just to be able to perform during NCAA competitions before, she had an injury once that caused her to not compete and it really broke her heart. She may be our alma mater’s cheer leader but we, her friends, is her proud cheerers/fans and we’re really proud of her!

Okay so we’ve laid out her first talent, but only few people know that Bebi A also has THE VOICE! She sings really well! She may try denying this, but hey! I say she has it. She also has this effortless power of reeling people in whenever she tells a story, may it be a very silly joke or more serious stuff. She has the gift of timing and proper punchlines.

3. Her heart belongs to Kuya Carl

I am a witness of how bebi A really loves her Popo (Kuya Carl) since college until now. They've had their own share of relationship dilemmas, but one thing I know is that they are perfect for each other. And they are willing to endure some hardships for each other. Bebi A and Kuya Carl may sometimes be both stubborn and they might stumble from time to time when it comes to their relationship, but all I know is that she loves Kuya Carl very much and Kuya Carl really loves her too.

Even for me, an outsider looking into their relationship, I can’t see a future with them not being together. I have witnessed their love, their difficulties and how they compromise. They have really grown together in their relationship and that is true love, they have that and more because they got each other.

4. She is a good daughter

Bebi A is overflowing with love and when I met her mom, tita Lynn, I knew why. She may not have her father by her side growing up, but she has a mother that compensates all of that and never made her feel that something is missing in her life. She may have been a rebellious when she was younger, but who wasn’t? We all go through that phase in our lives, but at the end of the day there’s just one arm we go to when everything is done and that is our mom’s. The thing that made Tita Lynn great is that she never asked for anything since Bebi A moved to Singapore to pursue her career growth, but she doesn’t really have to because Bebi A will do anything that she can to help her mother out or to just simply make her enjoy the luxurious things she wants her to enjoy. It is really evident that she tries everything to give her mom not just a more convenient life, but a luxurious life even and they both deserve it. Bebi A, and all of us, may not be a perfect daughter but she is a damn good one!

5. She is not my bestfriend

Bebi A, Bebi J and Mamee Sue

Year 2013

She is my sister. She may come as really straightforward and often misunderstood as bitchy at times, but underneath that tough exterior is a really sweet and caring person. And, her being frank makes her a good friend, she tells you things as it is; no sugar coating. And, she really goes out of her way to help a friend and fights with them, even for them, when she needs to. The most important thing about Bebi A as a friend is that she accepts all her friend’s flaws, she never judge them and she can be as crazy as hell and she wouldn’t even care. She is a really fun friend because it’s like she always has an adventure to tell, or a blooper to laugh about.

I can never forget that time that our friendship, Bebi A, Mamee Sue and I, almost ended, we rarely fight but when we do it’s really a big one, It broke my heart to see how a very good friendship might be broken, but we love each other and we value our friendship more than anything; we talked, we cried, we hugged it out and we came out of that situation stonger, our friendship has reached a new level. We’re sisters; we irritate each other, we sometimes disagree and fight, but after all the drama and confrontations, what remains is our love and respect for each other.

So she is not my bestfriend, she is the sister that I never had and I love her so much for being just that!
